I have all the code from dumb little games I made (and never released) from almost 20 years ago.
I'm wondering if there's any way to find a copy of it somewhere on the web (I assume it was probably pirated at some point during its lifetime). And if I could find it, what would be the best approach to get it running again?
Has anyone here successfully recovered and revived their old mobile apps? I'd appreciate any suggestions on:
* Where to look for archived APKs or IPAs * How to sideload/run old mobile apps on modern devices * Whether emulators might be a viable option

So many funny little project, so much code I'd like to revisit, so many photos lot.
Any recommendations on how to start a life as a digital hoarder?
Step 1: Get a NAS or whatever, and copy over things manually when you know you care about them.
That's pretty much it for at least some basic protections, and not starting a whole project. Just made checksums before you send it, and verify the checksums after you send it, and that's pretty much it.
Then step 2-6 can involve doing encrypted off-site (cloud) syncing of your backups, automatic backuping and so on, but as a first step, just do something small and easy, so it won't feel like a hassle in the future.
You will inevitably omit something you want. Just rsync the entire home folder as a first pass backup strategy.
Yeah, I'm not advising they do that for the rest of their life, I suggested that as Step 1, just offload it somewhere first. Then the later steps are setting up syncing, in my previous comment those were steps 2-6.
