Re^3: Data lost from private scratchpad

I’ve been using bitbucket since 2014 with private repos. Don’t know if that’s when they first offered them or not but it was the reason I started. I generally use github for public stuff because of its better integrations, and API, and bitbucket for things I don’t want in the wild due to it being too sloppy/shameful, me-specific, or one of my many million dollar ideas that so far made me nothing but a little more poor in time and money. :P

Anything that's really important to me I print out on paper and keep a microfiche backup. ;-)	[reply]

In fact… I’m waiting for the day an EMP of any serious size goes off in any strategic place. And everyone learns how tenuous and ethereal data can be; and just how many eggs have been put in one gigantic basket.	[reply]

why print on paper and keep microfiche when you can directly backup data on paper? see Paperbak for details ;=) I tried it with my scanner and it works! L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

But do you have the corresponding "restore" program available in human readable form? After an EMP, the machine readable copy of it won't be there… :-)	[reply]
