       The past few days has been another good reminder that people, sites, downloads can just disappear at anytime.MacGUI removed all 40k downloads from their site. There is a 2013 torrent but not even close.A popular vintage forum had multiple days of downtime with a history of loosing data.vMac's primary author has been gone for 2 years now.If it's not backed up to @internetarchive - it doesn't really exist.#VintageMac #VintageComputers

       https://macgui.com/blogs/?e=504https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11570---Over on #TinkerDifferent we have archive plans and backups in case of failure or closure. If anything happens, an offline static site will be uploaded to archive.org.

       @nulleric Christ on a cracker the macgui post is fucking sad. The problem I have with so much of the Vintage scene is that there's a divide between people who save and collect openly and those that place it behind a wall.yes, vintage stuff is commofified now. That's the effect of widespread cheap data storage. Dude really should have gone and put the whole index up on archive.org and/or mac garden.

       @nulleric "In protest against the widespread commoditization of vintage Apple software and its subsequent devaluation, the Mac GUI Downloads collection is closed."what in the unholy hell?
