So, what is the best practice for preserving a private file that cannot be replaced?

I'd like to protect against hardware failure, theft, and service shutdown.

@SJohnRoss my local theater has $4 Tuesdays, which changes my incentives quite a bit off of the baseline.

It's a lot easier for a movie to be worth the $4 than worth the $12 it might be elsewhere.

The more complex you make the process, the more you favor people who have learned to navigate bureaucracy, and the more you make it hard for people who haven't.

Newton's laws of motion are wrong, but to demonstrate that you'll need a solar system or a particle accelerator.

We should expect other places where our understanding is wrong to require similarly exotic environments.

Usenet: find your people! there are a few dozen of them on rec.arts.funny!
Listservs: find your people! there are 100 of them on this obscure list devoted to Marxist cultural criticism!
Blogs: find your people! each time one of them visits your site, your counter will increment! look! it has reached four digits!
Social media: find your people! there are several million strangers who are calling you names!
Post-social media: find your people! there are several dozen of them!

Self-hosting a gitlab instance provides more control.

But I don't know why you would use other-hosted gitlab.

isometric Populous looked great, there's something about it that just makes you wanna jump into that *tiny* world and play.

The Big Reveal is that bluecheck journalists don't know how to thread.
