The University of Helsinki blog post "A digital-age reboot of the stages of grief?" critiques the widespread and often rigid application of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's "five stages" model to the grieving process. The article clarifies that Kübler-Ross's original work, On Death and Dying (1969), focused on the psychological responses of terminally ill patients facing their own death, not a prescriptive roadmap for the bereaved.

Hereditas, which means inheritance in Latin, is a static website generator that builds fully-trustless digital legacy boxes, where you can store information for your relatives to access in case of your sudden death or disappearance.

For example, you could use this to pass information such as passwords, cryptographic keys, cryptocurrency wallets, sensitive documents, etc.

Since the internet’s earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists’ plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism.
