Just a scheduled post that you postpone while you're alive.

No, the proper way to do it is to include the curl request to be run as part of your last will and testament.

Event-driven architecture.

This feels like a very risky choice that a technical error or other interruption announces your death prematurely.

I would probably just ensure at least one or two trusted people have the access to post it on your behalf and know it is very important to you that it gets done.

Yeah, you could lose control of some account and that would be pretty awkward if your Goodbye Farewell just plopped out when you went in to extend it another week but found out you’re sitting on a support ticket.

Or worse; I dunno get hit by a bus and be in the hospital, or perhaps arrested? Friends and family don’t know what happened to you and then your death announcement blares.

I think only people expecting their death to be likely in the next year should want to employ this however, and that probably changes things.

You could do the warnings aka similar to domain expiry. Lots of follow ups etc.

I like the curl on will option (or for a lawyer maybe email with link)
