I’m not super familiar with it but basically that would mean each code base would be an immutable chain, and all edits get appended? Seems like that would be very compatible with torrent seeding, just need to handle the branches. A branching blockchain, is that a block tree?
I’m being a little silly. Blockchain stuff wouldn’t work great for hosting git on for a number of reasons. You might be onto something with that idea about integrating it with gir and torrents, though. I was thinking of using it as an external way to verify the repo is the real thing and hasn’t been tampered with but your idea may be a better version of that.
It can but they have to go through the effort to actually follow through with the end goal.
It’s not just an easy automated bureaucratic process to keep stupid safe harbor provisions (that’s why copyright claims are so abusable).
This is such a stupid argument considering you don’t need a fucking giant ass data center to host a tiny little git server. I’ve seen this argument time and time again, but the real reason people go with VPSes is convenience and laziness.
I would absolutely agree with the other person that renting your own VPS is not self-hosting, not by a long shot. You could argue that you need a massive host for a large video or music platform, or even a large git platform with thousands of repos, but not for a tiny single user, single project forgejo or gitlab instance or a single static web page.
Self-host the git please.
We need a GitTorrent protocol with DHT. All forks could be one repository, and the identical code shared between them can be cross-seeded.
Finally a use for block chain tech.

can still be DMCAd 🤷

Not really self hosting if youre not hosting it yourself no?

Yeah but like not everyone has a a thousand acres either - though you dont hear shoppers at the farmers market calling themselves farmers

It’s not even needed for a tiny single user git instance, they’re grossly over-representing the amount of resources required to host one of those.
