The future, for those of us who hate the technologies,
budgets, and ick
factor required to survive the post-web sewer, probably lies in static
web sites.
Or perhaps we go to a different protocol. Most of my file archives are only
accessible by Gopher, for example. Gopher spiders of course could be built and
some web spiders try to do so through ill-configured Gopher proxies, but my
Gopher server contributes a lot less to my load average (and bandwidth usage)
right now than the web server does. It's also easier to reason about the bad
actors, since there are fewer of them.
The Gemini crowd likely has some similar thoughts.
