Though I would posit that this is true only if your devices are regularly doing `pull`s.

I don’t mean to “☝️ well actually ☝️” you; this is something I’ve been kicking around myself and haven’t come to a conclusion about.

In fact, now I think about it my source code is likely one of the _most_ backed up things I have!

Does that not give you the willies, if you’re hosting in-home?

(This is leaving aside the obvious answer of “host on Hetzner then, you worry wart”)

I just did a video for Tailscale about it but if you can self-host anything, it's easy enough.

And essay to Schedule sync with public git, eg. Codeberg.
