The projects here deemed to take too much space on SourceForge. I'm grateful for SourceForge and other code hosting sites that they host my projects for free, which is essential for keeping projects of dead software developers available, because we all die at some day, but to keep those projects in at least somewhat complete state I decided to delete them completely from SourceForge while keeping other projects still hosted there. As of 2025_02_17 I think that due to censorship issues no hosting company or nonprofit (codeberg.org) can really host 3rd party content properly without becoming a repression target itself, for both, state repressions and private sector repressions. (Yes, states are not the only Resident Evil Umbrella Corporations in that story). Therefore people should host their home pages mostly by using P2P solutions like the Tor project's OnionShare and I might as well try to live by my own beliefs. The idea that some P2P file sharing network will "host the content" will only hold as long as that content is popular, because people are not willing to spend their storage space on data that does not interest them. There's even a scientific paper about that: (Downloaded on 2020_02_19 from https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/Papers/redblue.pdf) ./2004_xx_xx_The_Economics_of_Censorship_Resistance_by_George_Danezis_and_Ross_Anderson.pdf Scinentific data and very specific niche technical data(read: software source code, schematics of electronics, etc.) will NEVER be popular enough to be kept at general P2P networks. At the same time newer creations tend to depend on very specific versions of other components and the data volume of those components is not always that small for its era storage costs. The cheapest and most independent option: buy the computing equipment and host the data oneself at some P2P network and hope that some friend will take over after one's death.
