Open Source Github Repositories in Danger of being Deleted

Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.

A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.

Which projects' repositories do you think are worth backing up?

Windows doesn't "just work"
  • My friend uses the same headset on Linux, that I use on Windows.

    When he "mutes" his headset, it is not actually muted on Linux. It is not really fixable. Obviously, on Windows it just works.

  • Windows doesn't "just work"
  • How to install the app on Linux.

    You search for it. Highly likely it is not available or barely functional.

    IF it works, it's only packaged for Ubuntu, Debian and Arch. If you use Nix or something even more niche, good luck with proprietary software or sometimes even openly available open source software.

  • Windows doesn't "just work"
  • Using Windows since Windows XP was sired. Using Linux for longer than that, mostly Linux servers, but have tons of years of Linux Desktop experience under my belt, with probably half of all Linux distributions on DistroWatch.com.

    Conclusion: Linux server rocks. Windows Desktop sux in many ways, but it just works and I personally have no issues with it. Linux Desktop is the worst hell possible. Barely ever works. It is literal hell and I hate it.

    Whenever I try to get into Linux Desktop, I have to meditate and drink a de-stressing tea beforehand, or else I cannot guarantee the laptop's or PC's screen's safety, when dealing with Linux Desktop.

    For anyone attempting to comment: note, that there is a huge difference between headless server Linux usage and Linux Desktop/GUI usage. I'm only talking about Linux GUI. Linux headless is fine and works great!

  • What would you do with hardware like this?
  • XD I mean, there are also discreet GPUs from the 90's, yet pretty much all integrated GPUs are far more performant than that.

    Your discreet GPU is over 12 years old and even back then it was an entry level card. So, actually, it is very weak and, for many use cases, weaker than many current integrated ones. Not to mention possible lack of current driver support, etc...

    You could also look up the other parts, I won't do that for you. But the same counts for the "i7". If the i7 is nearly as old, it's weaker than some i3s from today and definitely weaker than lots of i5s, nowadays.

    Again....... Same goes for the RAM, etc... If your RAM is really slow, then the size of the RAM will only be useful for certain use cases.

    Again and again.... You have to research for every part, to really know, what they are capable of. Just saying "i7" and "discreet" does not make the PC any better, whatsoever.

    In short: you can use the computer for a lot of stuff, but only very limited. If you want to do something very specific, really well, then you need to find the right niché, where it might work well. Otherwise, as I initially foreshadowed, there is actually not much you can do with those specifications. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • Like programming in bash
  • Yes, I switched to an older version and there was the warning. However, there was no warning on 0.101.0 whatsoever, so upgrading just one patch version broke my master module.

    Sometimes, I skip some versions, so I am certain, that I jumped from < 0.100.0 straight to 0.101.0 and here we are, without any deprecation warning.

  • Like programming in bash
  • Fully agree on this. I do not say, it's bad. I love innovation and this is what I love about Nushell. Just saying, that using it at work might not always be the best idea. ;)

  • Like programming in bash
  • Yesterday, I upgraded from 0.101.0 to 0.102.0 and date to-table was replaced equally (actually better) with into record, however it was not documented well in the error. Had to research for 5 to 10 minutes, which does not sound much, but if you get this like every second version, the amount of time adds up quickly.

  • Nu is great. Using it since many years. Clearly superior shell. Only problem is, that it constantly faces breaking changes and you therefore need to frequently update your modules.

  • Back then, a pain in the ass. Nowadays, I just let an AI handle that. I used this crap for years and years and still cannot remember, which symbols you need in which order. And why should I remember? I'm not the computer. The computer should know, not me.

  • Like programming in bash
  • Very true. Been programming/scripting in Bash since many many years, I could almost consider myself an "expert", however I still need to look up the same crap over and over again, since remembering weird symbol constellations is the last thing you should do, when you actually just wanna achieve a goal with the script and not learn how to summon the spirit of some C-related language creator.
