Death has eyes everywhere

I saw a thread on the Melonland Forum recently about how the concept of death should be confronted on the indie web. Not just in the sense of linkrot or obsolete websites, but the event of the real-life deaths of their webmasters. Death is scary to think about, but as the final stage of the human life cycle, it can't be avoided forever. I'm going to die one day and my website will be one of the many things I'll leave behind. I make this page to state instructions for my friends and family on how to keep my website up for as long as it possibly can after I pass.

• To my surviving family, I leave my API keys and Neocities passwords to you. Please leave it mostly as-is, but it'd be cool if you could write a short statement on my home page so my visitors know what happened and that I didn't just up and abandon the place. Somewhere in the statement, please include the following (and specify that it was written by me):
  
  Hey all! I don't really know how I'm supposed to write something like this, so I'm not going to "bury" the lead: if you're reading this, it means I've passed away. I've asked my family to take the wheel on keeping ROBGARAGE up, so don't worry about the site going down with me. Thanks for supporting the site over the years, whether you've liked my art, left nice messages in my guestbook, or were just a casual viewer. It really does mean the world to me. Stay weird, stay queer, and keep making art.
  
  And to my online friends who I may not have gotten the chance to say goodbye to yet, I'll say it now. Goodbye, and I love you. I hope we meet again in some other life.
• In the event that Neocities ever shuts down, please do what you can to safely move my site to another host. Better yet, mirror it across multiple!
• Is it weird to ask if the URL to my site can be written on my tombstone or urn or whatever?
• Please archive offline versions of my site as many places as you can, whether that's USB sticks, hard drives, spare computers, or anywhere else.

This page isn't really supposed to be read by anyone while I'm alive (which is when I'm writing this, obviously), so I've excluded it from all hyperlinks on and off my sitemap. But if you did find the url to this page somehow: Hello! I got the idea for this page from slashpages dot net.
