While we're on the subject, do we have mirrors of npm repos somewhere in EU ? What about Github ?
I can give a partial and interesting answer:
Since Norway is in European Economic Area (EEA) so is Svalbard (althought it's not in Schengen), where Microsoft backs up best of Github to my knowledge to the Arctic World Archive.
AWA is an attempt to preserve data on the long term.
Edit: ok it was a snapshot of all public repos on Github in 2020 (21TB). Here's more info: https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/
A few of my useless repos are in the vault. A future AI may be cursing my name in 1000 years trying to run my buggy code.
Ayup, I found out too late about this and now my name is going to be a curse word in the future.
