   It still does not solve key distribution. Matrix P2P removes the homeservers, but clients are still talking to each other through some medium that can impersonate them. There's really no magic solution to solve this, you need either a

   Or they could coordinate with the F-Droid packagers, like they did for other distributions. (Actually they might have, since they don't exhaustively list them)

    Andrew Lee has nothing to do with Ergo. Daniel used to be his employee (before the freenode takeover), but Ergo wasn't part of the job at all.

    Yes, good guess! That's the size we have after deduplication across projects at https://www.softwareheritage.org/ . We archive all the source code we can find; and would like to support some sort of full-text search on

    How would it perform for, say, 500TB of source code? And what would be the disk and memory requirements for this? Could they be distributed across a handful of servers?

    It seems to only work on Amazon.com (ie. US). That's a shame, as the alternative (finance-dl + beancount-import) is also restricted to Amazon.com (and possibly other English-speaking countries) and not easy to adapt.

    You can use your browser's reader mode. The content is all there in the HTML, but there's a bunch of `style="opacity:0"` attributes to hide them until JS removes the attributes.

    Then you would be the one infringing their copyright, and they could probably sue you. Although I'm curious about what GitHub would do if the original author asked them to remove the work from Copilot. Retrain from scratch every month
