All 21 TB of code on GitHub was moved to cold storage at an actual Arctic vault (syfy.com) 4 points by BerislavLopac 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] pixelface 5y ago ↗ the more amazing thing to me is the idea that you can fit github on less than $500 in external drives. curious now about creating an all-of-github local mirror, could be a fun project.
[–] djeiasbsbo 5y ago ↗ Wait... only 21TB? I have a 20TB disk (two 10TB disks in a RAID) which I got a couple years ago with the first three paychecks of my first ever job.So basically... almost everyone could store aall of this data with a bit of money saving! I would have guessed there to be much more... [–] lostmsu 5y ago ↗ Do these 21TB include all the repository histories, issues, releases, etc?
