Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe
-
using GitHub to host our code
I can't possibly think of any way that could backfire.
Should be fine with the way git works, just inconvenient.
Any maintainers (or someone here) should set up a regular job to git pull the repo every night.

Europe won't do a thing with these initiatives, at least not in any official manner (what they can do though is to ensure EU web hosters of this stuff aren't feeling the pressure). They've enough to do restructuring their economy and military, all the while also dealing with war and fascism from the east. They won't risk Trump having another tamper tantrum, at least not before the EU and its allies are widely decoupled from the US economy.
They need to actually go into Ukraine before the US takes a more active Russian stance. He'll talk a lot, but he doesn't want a war with the EU. Europe needs to move first.

It's weird living in a world where people are rescuing our past from the Ministry of Information sponsored Memory Hole.
It's weird watching Idiocracy become a documentary in real-time. When farmers can't get fertilizers from Canada, I'm waiting for Trump and Elon to announce a partnership with Gatorade as the new Crop Quencher.

A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org, went live Tuesday and is currently being hosted in Europe.
As we have been following since the beginning of Trump’s second term, websites across the entire federal government have been altered and taken offline under this administration’s war on science, health, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Critical information promoting vaccines, HIV care, reproductive health options including abortion, and trans and gender confirmation healthcare have been purged from the CDC’s live website under Trump. Disease surveillance data about bird flu and other concerns have either been delayed or have stopped being updated entirely. Some deleted pages across the government have at least temporarily been restored thanks to a court order, but the Trump administration has added a note rejecting “gender ideology” to some of them.
“Our goal is to provide a resource that includes the information and data previously available,” the team wrote. “We are committed to providing the previously available webpages and data, from before the potential tampering occurred. Our approach is to be as transparent as possible about our process. We plan to gather archival data and then remove CDC logos and branding, using GitHub to host our code to create the site.”
Aren't there also a bunch of govt officials making alts on bluesky to try to somewhat anonymously get info out?

Censoring communications is 1984, not Idiocracy.

Gitlab was created by a ukranian and dutch developer originally but today Gitlab stock is traded on Nasdaq and its HQ is listed as San Francisco (wikipedia). I use it selfhosted but I don't think gitlab.com can be seen as European anymore.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
I self host forgejo. GitHub is the better service because of their super fast ci servers, the GitHub actions that just work, and also because collaboration is tied to the network effect

They don’t need to, because git is already decentralized. All the history is usually on everyone’s computers.
It's not just about git. It's also about issued, PRs, comments, security advisory, and so on

Yeah, hosting it outside of US but by a US provider? Wait, how'd they manage that?

but many website archives are slow to use and difficult to navigate because things like interactive elements and internal linking can sometimes be wonky.
Well, at least httrack does the relinking by itself. And i think wget's mirror option too?

it's not the history though it's the releases, readmes, or issues for people who are interested in the project but aren't contributors

We can live in both at the same time.

we need to get blue state leaders and researchers to start referring data to it and referencing this instead of the official site.

Alt National Park Service comes to mind. They're doing incredible work
-
of the gogs family tree it's my middle favorite.
- forgejo
- gitea
- gogs
forgejo gets the edge because of federation. gitea's corporate situation is less than ideal. gogs simply doesn't have the features to be a complete solution
I didn’t realize Gitea had any issues, I didn’t do my due diligence and look into them much after switching from GitHub.
I’ll check out forgejo thanks!

Once on the internet, always on the internet.

Remember, they also took the constitution off of Whitehouse.gov
