If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

@evacide yes correct. Also my physical home tbh
@evacide Early 50s, but ya.
@evacide pre-Facebook waspeak internet for me. Tons of personal sites all with their own weird personalities and no Facebook
@evacide Generation Jones would like a word.
I'm happy to say my first, late 1994 website is still on-line, but okay, it does need some updates. My 2nd oldest site is based on a Usenet list (remember those?) and it's been on-web since IIRC 1997. (Yes, needs updates.)
But sigh. My office site. I'm just waiting for people higher up the food chain to decree that I have to migrate all of the 'useful' parts over to www.wordpress.gov, because I've seen that happen and the results have been… sad.
@evacide Always a digital suitcase packed…

@evacide The “blog” I started in 1997 is still going strong. (Quotes because we used “weblog” for a few years before “blog” was invented.)!
@evacide The modern world is much the same.
@evacide Yet somehow more stable and less contingent than I or most of my friends' offline lives have been over the same timespan.
@evacide Well, here we all are, at any rate.
