The article also describes self-hosted gateways, browser-based IPFS nodes, and paid pinning and retrieval providers as alternatives.

### AI overview

An opinion essay argues that digital memories are vulnerable because online services, platforms, domains, and content systems can disappear or change ownership. It recommends owning domains and keeping multiple local copies rather than relying solely on cloud services.

### AI overview

The article presents a manifesto for making website publishing simpler and more enjoyable. It argues that IPFS is a natural fit for open websites because content addressing can provide peer-to-peer access, availability when a node serves the data, and built-in versioning for site content. It also criticizes the complexity of modern web development and advocates the continued usefulness of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

### Source excerpt

Building websites used to be fun. Let's bring back the joy of putting your work online by using open protocols like IPFS.
