    The ensh*tification continues. Time for community git to somehow be federated like lemmy.

    Some sort of encrypted collective sharing of the whole through BitTorrent style shared hosting.

    I would seriously consider donating a few TB space and half my bandwidth to that.

      Git has always been decentralized. That was one of its purposes. Sites like GitHub, Gitlab, etc actually went against the grain and centralized them; I personally believe this helped popularize git back in the days of CVS and Subversion being the two most popular version control systems.

      Git patches were made to be email friendly as a means of distributing code between developers — it’s how the Linux kernel does it (or did, I’m not up to date on their current practices).

      Time for community git to somehow be federated like lemmy.

      Already being worked on for a while. It’s called ForgeFed and being developed by Forgejo (the software powering codeberg). It’s an extension to the ActivityPub protocol, which is also powering the fediverse.

            I meant exactly what i said.

            “Funded by cryptography” doesn’t make sense

            “Funded by crypto(currency)” does make sense

            Check out their FAQ section about funding. It used to be a lot more front and center but now they are understandably trying to distance the crypto(currency) from it.

              Always better to be precise!

              tl;dr:

              Radworks, the organization that has been financing Radicle is organized around the RAD token which is a governance token on Ethereum.
