I think it's time for distributed git a-la bittorrent.
We should have everything sensitive in encrypted P2P networks and then demand that snail-mail privacy laws are applied.
I'm not expecting this position to be popular on HN tho, you can't build an unicorn on freedom.
- antocv 9y agoWe have gittorrent already. Much better alternatives than bittorrent, from privacy and censorship-resistence aspect is, git-ssb which is git on secue scuttlebot aka SSB. Bittorrent can be censored, the DHT can/is monitored and can be eclipsed to prevent lookups. Scuttlebot can work offline, over WiFi or sneakernet. Transport layer is encrypted, unlike bittorrent. Another alternative is Dat Project, which is similar to SSB, but focuses on larger data files.
