    Is it just flat HTML (so easy to duplicate)?

    I gave it the wget -m treatment when I heard. It's about 1.4gig of
    stuff, but many of the links send you back to the original site, so work
    would be needed to turn it into a browsable mirror.

    According to

    https://sheldonbrown.com/blog/

    the site has been independently supported for more than 10 years, and
    has no intention of going anywhere.
