Since they’re back at it again I have to jump onto my alt and re-share the fact that I totally backed up Yuzu’s source code, their progress reports, their Github issues pages + pull requests, and all the latest available binaries right before it got taken off of Github. No illicit materials in my archive (ROMS/Firmwares/Keys). Freely available as a torrent.

Otherwise I wish the best of luck to the nascent Suyu project.
Thanks. Just added this to my torrent server and will seed until the server dies
archive.org is cool and all, but a centralized service will never be a reliable way to truly archive something.
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.
the issue isn’t federation or anything like that, the issue is finding a repo hosting service in a dmca resilient country
– A wild Codeberg appeared. –
Codeberg is a collaboration platform providing Git hosting and services for free and open source software, content and projects.
The organization selected the European Union for their headquarters and computer infrastructure, due to members’ concerns that a software project repository hosted in the United States could be removed if a malicious actor made bad faith copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
In June 2022 the Software Freedom Conservancy’s “Give Up Github” campaign (in response to the GitHub Copilot licensing controversy) promoted Codeberg as an alternative to GitHub.
