> Everything you post on the internet is forever

I wish it was. Anything on social media maybe, but the broader internet dies in ~10 years.




A lot of my forum posts from 2004 are still around. Also web archive exists meaning that all those sites are being archived even if the site hosting that content disappears.


That's not the worst of it - some of my code is still around from circa 2000. It's kinda embarrassing to read now.


When I search for my name I get Usenet posts from 1991 :)
