Whoops this was supposed to be in the body of the post
Here is a mirror with the latest commit: https://source.netsyms.com/Mirrors/youtube-dl
Bastards
Well shit. Luckily it looks like its up on codeberg.
That’s the awesome power of open-source :)
Oh, that’s a pity :( . I remember that my first open source program was precisely a wrapper around Youtube-dl circa 2007. I lost the code ^^U , but I had fun with it.
As a side note: That’s why we should keep mirrors of our open source projects. Consider Gitlab & Bitbucket as secondary mirrors… not sure about other alternatives. Ideas?
Gitea, Codeberg, Gitdab, there are a tons of ways to keep it up somewhere, and I’m sure it won’t be long before we see mirrors of this pop up all over the place.
Will a central repository be needed for development or can git handle this kind of decentralisation? Things like this seem to threaten community involvement and put onus on a small group to ward off corporate attacks.
Why mirror? I think that we shouldn’t host any project on github, only mirrors. For hosted alternatives there is codeberg and gitlab. I prefer self-hosting on gitea or gitlab though They provably lost all the issues… Github is the de facto place where you search for open source content, but I hope that the fedforge projects will bring us a way to avoid this central point of development.
Why github indeed with this list of 3rd party “subprocessors”: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/site-policy/github-subprocessors-and-cookies
