voxpellicalumryan: reason why they are listed separately isn't that UK isn't part of western Europe but that typically UK have quite a few HWC:s – eg. in Brighton as well
[acegiak_net]I wish there were an easy way to verify the identity of people visiting my site without them engaging in a big login process so that if people are on my friends list I can show them more personal details
voxpellithen again, such private details will of course by nature be hard to make curlable – unless one makes ones curling privacy aware through authing
voxpelliso locking down eg. rel-me's, which is mostly intended to establish an identity/social graph, is not very useful (not sure if a Matrix id would be a rel-me candidate though, but sounds like it)

sknebelZegnat: the link in your post the admin talks about how he this time forgot to make a manual backup, the gitlab incident also read to me like "tried to fix something without knowing if it needed fixing and how to do it". both cases possibly wouldn't even have come to the stage of "restore from backup" if they had clear lists to work of what to do, step by step
sknebeland I myself regularly make small-ish mistakes in routine changes on my server, because I forget some edge cases my scripts rely on, where a list of things to do/check would avoid the "ohhh, right, have to do X" moment
ZegnatI don’t think we test our gitlab backups. But the VM it runs on gets snapshotted as a whole every day, I think. So we shouldn’t ever be able to lose months of data.
ZegnatDifference between Gitlab and MythWeavers: with Gitlab several people probably have copies of the code locally, the character sheets on MythWeaver were in almost no cases stored offline.
sknebelthe code also wasn't lost, the issues etc that were lost probably have just as many local backups. I always liked the idea of integrating a bugtracker with the repository, there have been a few attempts, but nothing that stuck
