John Hopkins covid data was stored on GitHub. If github ever took it down, it would be insanely trivial to push it to a new remote on gitlab or codeberg.
Its a fucking mistake to store public healthcare data on a centralized website instead of a decentralized VCS like git.
I hope we learn this lesson.
I think it would also be a mistake for public data to be stored on something microsoft owns.
Did you read what I said? Even if you use Microsoft servers, its portable.
Yes but on principle someone who wants to access public data shouldn’t have to interact with microsoft.
Sure, so mirror the git repo. Easy.
This isn’t the first chunk of data pulled from CDC’s website that I’ve seen. I’m curious, does anyone know of any archives elsewhere some of us can help backup offsite?
