My repo is fine, because its not online. Keeping them online is just silly.

I host my own gitlab instance.
Same. Super easy to do, easy to mirror repos, easy to keep offline...
Even if its online (gitlab.melroy.org), I own my data. And GitHub or any other company can't decide for me when to remove content.
I can't wait for federated git prs/issues.
How does that change Nintendo's legal proceedings?
It doesn't. But code becomes p2p with no one organizer.
Do you know about Radicle ? It's not federated but distributed and darknet based
I want to give it a shot at some point! It just looks complicated
I t has imporved a lot lately you should :)
I hacked my Switch right after Nintendo pulled that Yuzu BS, so it's been jailbroken for one year now and the last time I gave any money to Nintendo was in May 2023 for Tears of the Kingdom. I recently updated it to the newest firmware in preparation for Xenoblade Chronicles X this month. No updated emulators? No problem!
https://github.com/Ryubing/Ryujinx is still there as well as https://git.citron-emu.org/Citron/Citron (formerly Yuzu), the 2 main repositories for these 2 emulators.
So yeah, easily killed 4238 repos without even getting the main ones, lol.
P2P code repo when? Git needs to die in 2025
Git is significantly better than the alternatives. Don't conflate git and GitHub, they're entirely different.
do you mean github or do you actually mean git?
Isn't git technically already P2P? Everyone has the complete repo, and everyone can pull from everyone else, as long as a connection can be established. The networking/organization of this is just not automatic.
https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ -- Use IPFS as a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.
If you have other "decentralized filesystems" that have "better" behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.
There is also Radicle that is building a darkgit with p2p distributed design
I'm not sure how I like at protocol being the thing that makes this happen, but I'm glad others are working on the issue! Maybe I'll change my mind later but it's still to close to a million dollar company for my taste
