QOTD: Do you keep a personal archive of Git repositories? If so, how? My backup system is a poorly written, inefficient shell script that I run manually when I think about it and I’d like to do something about that. The Yuzu and Citra emulators were taken down recently and I have a ~3 day old backup of Yuzu’s repository but nothing for Citra.

@mckinley@twtxt.net I just use my Gitea instance which itself is backed up

@mckinley@twtxt.net No, I don’t mirror code from others unless I work on that project, too. But then it’s all manual git fetch, nothing automated. If something is taken down or vandalised I hope that somebody else has a mirror and can help restore. This of course only works for popular code bases.

Good thought, though. I might have to look through my dependencies and identify candidates that might not have somebody who could help to get things back online.
