git was designed to be decentralized. Everyone can (technically, but it is not too hard to set up if you have some affinity with servers) fork/clone another git repository and serve it up. It has built-in ways to synchronize with any other server. In fact, that synchronizing is what most developers do when they use git.
Of course, that would make it harder to know which repository has the “official” version, but in a way, that is maybe also a benefit of decentralisation. Knowing what code is authentic can be done by signing the commits.
The hubs that we see, are usually a combination of git and a way to serve the code, along with documentation, roadmap, bug tracking, automatic testing and building and the resulting binaries in a visually pleasing way. That does not need to be a part of decentralizing the code, and it is not the only way to do it.
Some of that can also be done with git built-in tracking of files, and the building and testing can probably also done in other locations, as long as there are files describing how to do that bundled with the code (which practically all projects already do).
Sourcehut (https://sr.ht) is one hub that helps developers use simpler tools for those workflows, and I think that’s a good place to find some inspiration.
Falkor energy.
I will never not read LTT as Lews Therin first, of whom, as a lover of both FOSS and EotW, I definitely prefer being reminded.
E: my brain forgot that the series is called WoT. EotW is just the first book, indeed. But I’m rambling very much off topic here.
Like the Dutch “ezel” (which is the same word used in Dutch for painting-supporters which in English are called “easel”).
You can see the wololo-waves radiating from a cross if you put it in the earth.
Do you remove the spoon from the cup, before you take a sip? /j
The opening quotation marks should be on the bottom, but it’s been a while since I wrote them that way. Luckily, the wiki page (in Dutch) shows how they can be entered in three common OSes (see: unicode), so I’ll try my best to revive the correct usage again.
Also, I don’t think it is considered incorrect to use top quotation marks on a computer any longer.
That is an interesting source. Thanks for the link!
