A single DMCA anti-circumvention notice, sent by Nintendo on the one-year anniversary of its 2024 lawsuit against Yuzu, showed just how much things can change in a year. Targeting nine repos linked to Switch emulator Ryujinx, the domino effect led to the removal of 4,238 repos. Elsewhere, the distilled components of Yuzu's demise can be found in recent takedown notices

P2P code repo when? Git needs to die in 2025

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee 3 points 4 hours ago

Isn't git technically already P2P? Everyone has the complete repo, and everyone can pull from everyone else, as long as a connection can be established. The networking/organization of this is just not automatic.

Git is significantly better than the alternatives. Don't conflate git and GitHub, they're entirely different.

do you mean github or do you actually mean git?

https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Bittorrent-like_features/ -- Use IPFS at a special git-annex remote, and it will be nearly impossible to execute a take-down.

If you have other "decentralized filesystems" that have "better" behavior than IPFS, you might see if joeyh or yourself can add them as other special remotes.

There is also Radicle that is building a darkgit with p2p distributed design

I'm not sure how I like at protocol being the thing that makes this happen, but I'm glad others are working on the issue! Maybe I'll change my mind later but it's still to close to a million dollar company for my taste
