You need to mirror/backup your private repos on GitHub, if they are a fork of another private repo. Deleting the original deletes your fork too!
ok update on the deleted repo thing, since it kind of blew up
first, some context on why i posted it like that. there have been so many security incidents lately that my brain is basically stuck in alert mode. so when i saw a stranger in our audit log deleting a private repo, i assumed the worst.
we figured out what happened. nobody hacked us, and it wasn't a github bug.
that repo was a private fork of a repo owned by @StainlessAPI, the company that generated our SDKs. our entire SDK pipeline ran on it.
Stainless got acquired by @AnthropicAI back in may. and on october 27, with zero heads-up to us, someone there deleted their copy of the repo.
turns out when you delete a private repo on github, every private fork of it gets deleted too. same request, under two seconds. and our audit log shows the person who deleted *their* repo as the one who deleted *ours*. that's why it looked like a random outsider walked into our org and nuked something.
no email. no "hey, we're cleaning these up, grab a copy." just gone, along with the production repo behind every one of our SDKs.
github support walked us through all of it within a day, which, genuinely, thank you.
one ask though @github: put this in the audit log. right now the event for our repo just says "repo.destroy" by an outside user. if it said "deleted because upstream fork parent X was deleted", we'd have understood it in two minutes instead of spending a night thinking we'd been breached.
we had a local clone, so we pushed it back up as a standalone repo and the SDKs are running again.
if you were a Stainless customer and you've got anything living as a private fork of one of their repos, go detach it today. it takes ten minutes. their delete is your delete.

macOS Developers should update their /etc/ssl/cert.pem file to remove the compromised eMudhra certificate.

‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours.
Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4.
Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

Looks like @FlowbyGoogle did a banger job.

UPI MDR ate 94% of our margins.
We earn ₹50 on a ₹10,000 order. From Oct 15, UPI takes ₹47.20 of it.
Pneucons earns 0.5% commission on the order value before tax.
The math:
Customer pays: ₹10,000 + 18% GST = ₹11,800
We earn: 0.5% of ₹10,000 = ₹50
UPI MDR: 0.4% of ₹11,800 = ₹47.20
Left: ₹2.80
That's 94% of our margin gone on every UPI order above ₹2,000.
It's worse because MDR is charged on the GST too: we earn on ₹10,000 but pay MDR on ₹11,800. That costs us an extra ₹7.20.
The ₹8.50 GST on MDR is claimable, but it's paid upfront. That's working capital stuck on every order.
@kushgrwl bhai was confident fintech will bear the cost for the data they get while i was of an opinion they will also add their own mark up on top of it. Turns out we both are wrong.

In general, the UPI MDR will reach about 3% of the transactions. 96% of current transactions are anyhow out. Out of the remaining 4%, 1/4th will move to other sources.
But that will still mean some fairly large revenues for all players, let's see if it hits 10,000 cr. +
