Re:Tell HN: GitHub will delete your private repo if you lose... by ChrisMarshallNY on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @04:26PM (#34602417)
I remember someone posting an agonized screed, some time ago, about YT deleting their channel, and all the videos.

Apparently, they had not kept the source/rendered originals of the videos, so it actually clobbered their business.

I am a scarred, limping old coot, and have learned [the hard way] that backups are goooood.
