I was wondering why these types of open source projects always push to Github, despite the latter always complying with DMCA. (I get that Github provides discoverabilty features, but it just isn’t worth it to have all your work taken down).
On a similar note, has anyone tried out https://radicle.xyz/? It’s supposed to actually make use of git’s peer to peer nature (and not the client server model that everyone adopts with git) and ideally provide discoverability features.
The said I’ve only read the faq and haven’t actually tried it myself. Basically I’m wondering if it’s worth doing a deep dive on this technology
Give CodeBerg a look. It’s starting to pick up some steam.
CodeBerg is a public instance of Forgejo. You can run your own local instance of Forgejo.
At some point they’ll have federation working so you’ll be able to use your home instance of Forgejo to interact with other projects/instances.
It doesn’t catch on because entry level devs love committing private keys
But how else am I to verify my trust? I trust GitHub!
/s
hehe
Codeberg exists. But no people still have to just flock to corporate bullshit and then be surprised when they pull a corporate bullshit.
Codeberg is great, but it is hosted in Germany, and subject to their laws. AFAIK, Germany has laws against tools for “circumventing copy protection”, or “hacking”.
So I am not sure that they can provide a save haven for tools, where some lawyer could argue these points successfully in front of a court.
ActivityPub is amazing for censorship because anything that gets posted to one instance gets immediately archived thousands of times over.
There needs to be a widespread p2p solution for opensource projects before its too late. I have lost count of all the amazing stuff that has been gravity bombed from orbit.
There also needs to be a way for authors to submit things anonymously too and maybe sign their things with cryptographic keys to ID it. How many times has a company had a court order someone to cease and desist or simply acquire somebody’s work?
p2p solution for opensource projects
That’s called Git and it’s been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)
Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.
git is clearly not p2p in the needed level or else we wouldn’t have faced this problem
I found https://radicle.xyz/ but I’ve never used this technology before. Maybe someone can shed some light?
Open-source projects are quiet safe on Github. Maybe don’t push illegal code? Seems pretty obvious to me.
Ngl if you pirate indie porn you are scum. Most people who make it aren’t well off.
Is this a pirating tool or a tool for downloading local copies of what you did pay for? I know Fansly has weird settings where you lose access to stuff you paid for if you change your tier or need to lapse your membership for a bit. I stopped paying anyone when the archiving tool I used stopped working.

Bad pattern.
The moment when GitHub was bought by M$, the risk of such behavior started.
The mentioned repositories enable and encourage criminal behavior. And it’s quiet intentional. It’s because of piracy that we have DRM in the first place. The audacity now of pirates to wine about them not getting what they want like the entire world revolves just around them.
Your whole series of posts in this thread are seriously unhinged. Are you trying to cosplay a corpo bootlicker or something?
It’s either that or you’ve been born wealthy enough to never have to think about the money you spend.
You’re working for the same corpos and you’re getting payed. You’re part of the system and you’re profiting off it. We get rid of DRM tomorrow but you get a 20% salary reduction. Would you do it? I think you wouldn’t. So why would they? You guys are pretentious and can’t think past the simplest complexities of an economic system.
The only jobs I’ve ever had were teaching and nursing, both paid by the country I live in, not some private entity. I don’t even own a car or a TV, nor do I live in the US for that matter.
Get your head out of your ass and realise there’s more to life than fucking money. I was born poor and will die poor, but I don’t give a shit because I at least know I helped some people along the way.
Jfc, the bubble some live in. You should be ashamed of yourself, but I guess you’re not even capable of that, are ya?
