What's the next github?

A lot of repos have moved to gitlab or elsewhere because of Microsoft.
It was neat to have all the code in the world in one single place, though I never liked the social media aspect of github.

So, where should I upload my little project if I want it to be reasonably public and to still exist 5 years from now?

Gitlab?

Github because Microsoft would guarantee it would be around in 10+ years

I'm old enough to remember Sourceforge where I hosted my first projects.

Are you 18 or something?

Just like Google code?

Where do you host your projects, Mentifex?

self-host, what are you, 12?
these days you can host gitea or gogs on a simple RPi over a hidden service.
lit. ruining the point of a DCVS.
infact, here's one, free registration:
git.psii2pdloxelodts.onion
git.psi.i2p
[didn't we used to have a fossil repo?]

I can host a fossil repo or anything but that's not what I'm looking for.
I had a dozen servers. Had. They only last as long as you can pay for them. I have a decent one with 16GB of RAM until the end of the month for instance.

I start to feel anxious about losing what I have written so far now that the project is nearing completion. I will soon have to leave the place where I am now and I could lose my laptop during the travel.

The RPi is not a solution, what I don't have is a permanent housing and connection.

I'm going to take a look at your .onion and .i2p link because that's interesting but I want the code to be public and easily accessible.

I didn't even know that Microsoft bought github, I heard about it while looking for some scheme projects. A lot of them moved to gitlab. I haven't done extensive research but it seems ok. I've just signed up.

About progrider's fossil repo, there were interesting things. I hope someone has cloned it.

Yeah, I wish.

Hello homeless person, do you smell like Xah Lee?

I don't host it anywhere, my code is a base64-encoded string

>>13
Don't you post it somewhere once archived and base64-encoded?

>>10
Wow, you really are 12. The computer you took to post that, it can't host a simple git? What's wrong with having a simple computer you host 24/7 connected to a hidden service?
Did you know the're WORM like BD/DVD you can travel with, even SDcards? The're even places you can store them when moving, even private "PO" boxes. Donating to libraries is a sure bet your diffs will be maintained.
>>13
I post memes with steganography that contains code and private keys, bootstrap from there. It's how wikileaks survived marking the BTC blockchain, some NMC.

>>15
Nevermind, you don't get it.

>>17
No, I don't get why a 12year old wants to host his git repos on some proprietary service than to self-host, self-backup, even when all it takes is a simple SD card to carry around in your stomach.
If it worked for Jeff Widener to make his famous Tank Man - The Unknown Rebel photo, it can definitely work for you. You should be of the consciousness that none will host or keep anything from you safe. You are your own git repo, you are your own cold storage, you are your own person.

Live like you don't anyone anything, it's the only way you'll be free.

>>17
Ok, but first I need offsite backup, because reasons. That's what you can't grasp but I don't blame you.

Second, I'm willing to share the source code. There's a handful of people who might take look at it. So asking them to visit 8d71b1ab896bce334cd1deb866f02a344f9b0a87ca2117f13e58.i2p.Haxx00R.onion after reading a 50-page-long manual, installing 500 MB of binaries, and have them wait for the hours of the day when the raspberry is online, is not friendly.

Home servers, yeah right. Like when I was interested in some code from Aaron Hsu. He's an elite hacker just like you so he hosts all tarballs from a gopher server that he wrote himself, at home.

Try and reach it: gopher://gopher.sacrideo.us:70/

the chance that you will lose interest and stop running your Trashberry Pi is far higher than the chance Microsoft will cut funding for Github

>>19
The chances Github arbitrary blacklists you and doxes you like deepfreeze.it/gitgud.io and dailystormer is many times more likely than buying another RPi the next month for your shit repo.
It's ok not to learn from history, but even CS graduate can calculate dependency on a third party you have no control over is far riskier than organic growth.
Heck, Microsoft bought LinkedIn, they want total control of the developer market.

>>20
good thing I’m planning on posting code and not Nazi bullshit or using the ni🅱️🅱️a word in comments

Or you can buy an SDcard and make bookmarks of pet names for your friendly means. It's like you've never read how to make killswitches or canaries, yeesh.

Sdf.org is still kicking after more than 30years. I can also reshow you synchro.net but yeesh, post your ID already, you love Microsoft enough to host your shit on their services. Something like Antitrust 2001 didn't wakeup too many people, and they still give code 4FREE

>>21
Deepfreeze.it was blacklisted because they competed with Google and snopes: they were accurately tracking who was faithful or not.
You can even lookup other horrible stories github just outright blackisted for less.

It's a matter of where you want to render your shit code: yourself or someone third party only really seeking to steal your code.

Nobody here ever published any code?

>>24
on github, a private git repo, and also my personal website, yeah

>>24
Sure, send me an email if you want it.

>>26
No thanks, keep it for yourself.
That way
- you don't have to finish it
- you don't have to keep the code clean
- your spare your ego from critics and lack of interest

>>27
You're right, it's in-house software and will never be clean or beyond good enough since there is always a pipeline of new and higher priority projects. But since it's used for published research, other labs do occasionally have interest.
