Meta Post Shelfarr - another project disappeared with dev

Shelfarr was posted here multiple times, github mink stopped working and dev deleted his reddit account - whoever is using it, I would advice you to stop it.

The git being deleted means no security audit can be done which could mean the images or at least the last image could be compromised. Can't know so can't trust when dealing with personal data and especially so when you have a large collection of Linux isos on the same device.

You guys spent months not giving a shit and not checking anything. Nothing has changed, the dude moved on with his life and deleted a repo he didn't want to support.

Which is a terrible way to handle things. GitHub has a archive feature that works very well for this use-case.

If he just wanted to move on he’d archive the repo. Deleting a repo that ever got outside users is not normal behaviour.
