ChipTuner on Nostr: I think projects should get to own their infrastructure. Wouldn't call it "overlord" ...
I think projects should get to own their infrastructure. Wouldn't call it "overlord" and that still not exactly an issue GitHub challenges or fixes.
It's not difficult to mirror anyone's repo either. I mirror dozens of projects, mostly for cache reasons, but just to offer mirrors. I can spare a few MB to mirrors repos for other people. It takes almost no time if you have git, any generic http server, (cron if you want to stay up to date) and some free disk space. The "overlords" can't take that away from us unless they go closed source and well that's not even what were talking about.
I still think that's a bit of a cop out though. Fighting for perfect when we can have good enough for now running our own servers and discussing issues and making proposals on nostr. Many of us already do that.
