| littlebobeep | lkcl: is this you? https://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=21272940&cid=62504854 | 05:17 |

| programmerjake | yes afaict | 05:17 |
| programmerjake | the email matches: lkcl@lkcl.net | 05:18 |
| lkcl | littlebobeep, yep | 06:31 |
| lkcl | total collective insanity. it's precisely and exactly the whole f*****g reason why i absolutely insisted that we be self-hosting. | 06:32 |
| lkcl | github - microsoft - is placing themselves in the role of God. | 06:33 |
| lkcl | and not the nice kind. the kind that blackmails and guilts people into worshipping them. | 06:34 |
| lkcl | ohh but we'll get it riiiight. you can trust us to get security and identity riiight. | 06:34 |
| lkcl | what they don't tell you is that it's easier to apply sanctions. | 06:35 |
| ghostmansd[m] | All these organization like Meta, Google, M$ are actually dictators, kinda like government inside government. | 06:53 |
| ghostmansd[m] | So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause. | 06:53 |
| ghostmansd[m] | It's funny, though, that most felt it only now. I've been realizing it quite soon when I became self-aware, to me it's always been obvious. | 06:55 |
| littlebobeep | Yeah I'm not a fan of github either, but how to decentralize VCS repos? | 07:19 |
| littlebobeep | I just found softwareheritage.org which claims to archive many repos, but the system seems highly obtuse, I could not find a way to check out entire repos easily | 07:20 |
| littlebobeep | (or at all really) | 07:20 |
| littlebobeep | They just have annoying interface to download one snapshot at a time, when they should have entire repo history on their servers archived, they don't really expose a way to easily make a mirror to distribute the archive | 07:22 |
| ghostmansd[m] | Well, I don't say GH is not easy and simple | 07:32 |
| ghostmansd[m] | Or that it doesn't bring some benefits | 07:32 |
| ghostmansd[m] | It _is_ easy and _does_ bring benefits | 07:32 |
| ghostmansd[m] | That's why people go there | 07:33 |
| ghostmansd[m] | The simplest solution is not always the best one, though :-( | 07:33 |
| ghostmansd[m] | All this stuff is sold as part of democracy, but, in fact, it serves the dictatorship eventually | 07:34 |
| lkcl | git itself is touted as decentralised by design. reality is it is decentralise*eable*. you - the developer - have to *manually* push and pull to get the decentralisation | 11:38 |
| lkcl | where things get *truly* decentralised is by having a truly decentralised peer-to-peer distribution system behind it. gittorrent was one of the first but quickly abandoned | 11:40 |
