How does Internet Archive has so many epub books if they are restricted by DMCA? Honest question

archive.org is cool and all, but a centralized service will never be a reliable way to truly archive something.

At least not one that's hosted in a country where the IP mafia has any power, which is unfortunately most countries excluding places like Russia or China where you probably wouldn't want to host it anyhow due to a variety of other, uh… issues

As long as you host the checksums elsewhere so that users can verify the repo hasn't been tampered with, you can host files in China or Russia just fine.

That's assuming that the only potential issue you care about is tampering though

this repo still lives and we still have Suyu that looks promising, So, no worries atm https://github.com/pineappleEA/pineapple-src/releases/tag/EA-4176

Github probably didn't receive a cease and desist yet, but I doubt they'll put up a fight against Nintendo.

I highly suggest starting to familiarize ourselves with federated git repos. I‘m testing forgejo atm hoping to be able to host it publicly at some point. That way, once something is out there, its pretty much everywhere.

Federated git repos doesn't mean that the source code will be replicated across instances. It just means you can do things like create tickets and pull requests across instances.

Not sure I understand. I should be able to fork a public repo across instances, no? Why bother otherwise?
