@richardsever With the current US administration going after everything scientific and especially biomedical, wouldn't it be a good time to establish a European mirror of @biorxivpreprint ? Maybe hosted by the EMBL?

It would be such a huge loss if they managed to shut down #biorxiv...

After just having done so (with consent):
Dear #Scientists of all fields - if you use #GitHub to host your research software, please mirror your repos to alternatives like @Codeberg, @swheritage or repositories like zenodo (also data).
Its very easy: https://docs.codeberg.org/advanced/migrating-repos/

Better be prepared now #DigitalPreservation #DigPres

Or at least consent to me forking your repos

Of note for (government) people outside of The Netherlands. The Dutch security and intelligence service AIVD has advised the Dutch government that the EU "Chatcontrol" #CSAM proposal is too big a risk for our cyber resilience.
