  • __3D___ 3Douglas 🥛 (@__3D___) reported

    @Cryptoprofeta1 @AmirisJBrown That's only front end. Spin up a node, use non-us served apis to connect. Tornadocash still is running. They just went after the front end & data hosts. Github is a platform just like fb & Twitter, they can drop anyone. The bigger error is they froze defi pools with this move.

    My experience with #programming: 1. Cobble together code from github, stack overflow 2. Fix the bugs (old and new) 3. Repeat step two for hours 4. Get it working, step away 5. In 1 week, forget how you wrote it 6. In 2 weeks, question if you wrote it at all

  • mishaboar Mishaboar (@mishaboar) reported

    @fauswave @tjstebbing @github Establish a github repo on a self-hosted server? As for the other features, there are a few decentralized solutions coming out, but I only heard the names and cannot vouch for any of them - just to mention, Radicle (saw a post on reddit a few months ago).

  • TGTSwaps Thomas G. Thompson (@TGTSwaps) reported

    @semenov_roman_ @github Illegal? Not quite a legal problem unless they violated your contract with them.

  • jules_libert Jules Libert (@jules_libert) reported

    @RobertCooper_RC @phuctm97 Usecase: You can use a notion database as your backlog (instead of GitHub issues, for example). Just add a relation property to the synced GitHub database. Now, devs in your team can link PRs to the notion task they need to be reviewed I am doing this with my team since ~a month

  • qweasdgo qweasdgo (@qweasdgo) reported

    @illusiv33 @github other software tries to PREVENT itself being used illegally. Tornado was warned that if it didn't stop illegal things from happening on it, they'd shut it down, they didn't, so it got shut down. being open-source doesn't stop laws and restrictions from applying to it

  • Stacy_Cash Stacy Cashmore (@Stacy_Cash) reported

    Well, that was fun... Installed VS 2022 on the new machine, cloned my repo from GitHub, and nothing built because of NuGet version downgrade errors. Turns out that the default NuGet package source was missing when VS was installed. Strange.

    🐙 Login with your GitHub account; integrate with third-party services like Auth0, Netlify, and Vercel 🔒 Built-in streaming, user authentication and fine-grain authorization.

  • illusiv33 illusiv33 ✪ (@illusiv33) reported

    @qweasdgo @github Shutting it down is not possible whether a country outlaws it or not. The world is bigger than the US; technology doesn’t have borders.

  • fahadfareed07 Fahad Fareed (@fahadfareed07) reported

    Somebody uploaded a whole book in readme on github. Woah buddy calm down.

  • thejuicywitcher Looloo Salamanca (@thejuicywitcher) reported

    @patio11 @DoombergT Yeah, taking down the public source code of an open-source project on github is def normal Tell me you're crypto illiterate without telling me you're crypto illiterate

  • pomel042 AlizeDee (@pomel042) reported

    @Xentagz @DylanLeClair_ @TornadoCash they can run their own *** server if they want. github is just one provider. if you run your own server, your code is safe.

  • NotSureBTC notsure.eth (@NotSureBTC) reported

    @_gusblack @lgarron @github Reads to me like he disagrees with this change and is trying to rally customers to shut it down.

  • SimplestBTCBook SimplestBitcoinBook ~ Get ur 🔑's off exchanges (@SimplestBTCBook) reported

    @SwanBitcoin Thanks TC, so if GitHub went down, how would collaboration happen? Would the evolution of the project be halted until a decentralized collaboration solution was found?

  • gsmachado Guil. Sperb Machado (@gsmachado) reported

    @JamesZetlen @github lol, sure, but what about everything else that is pretty important for *real* sw. development, like issues, PRs, comments, collab., etc.? I'm not even mentioning @github actions, because this is smth else... Well, these things are not there.

  • ngundotra ngundotra.s◎l (🍬,🍬) (@ngundotra) reported

    Decentralized Github Actions: Problem - Governance proposal passes on Solana, how can anyone: - verify that this passed (ie how verify RPC results) - follow up with another on-chain action (ie deploying more code) - follow up with signed off-chain action (ie merging PR to main)

  • qweasdgo qweasdgo (@qweasdgo) reported

    @illusiv33 @github again, opensource doesn't mean you can break the law and restrictions placed by the government, and i mean "shut down" as "illegal to use in the country", which is effectively shutting it down. and from what i've seen freedom to publish would not cover source code

  • brunoborges Bruno Borges (@brunoborges) reported

    Hey #GitHub experts: my repo has two branches where they are just equal. But every time I create a Pull Request, it brings commits to be merged, even though there are zero file changes. How do I fix this?

  • SamuelXeus Xeusthegreat (♟,♟) (@SamuelXeus) reported

    Everyday, we see the need for Decentralisation and the power. With the GitHub issue, there is a need for DeFi Builders and Devs to be able to put up their open source codes and works on Decentralised Platforms. Suspending peoples account for writing Open Source codes is weird.

  • ryanstrug Ryan Strug (@ryanstrug) reported

    .@github and @Google taking down Tornado Cash is more of a government thing than a corporate censorship thing. Hard to just defy a sanction order even when arguably it’s illegal.

  • ngundotra ngundotra.s◎l (🍬,🍬) (@ngundotra) reported

    so nobody is concerned about github taking down their stuff? where are the example repos on radicle / arweave / etc? kinda feels like we all moved on?

  • mellyhed Melly (@mellyhed) reported

    @awwmishaaa My experience isn't that of a senior or experienced person. I recommend going to GitHub or an open-source project repository. start helping people, or you can ask people who already work what problems they fix. Generally, there are two objectives: Get a reputation get experience

  • AustinGerig Austin Gerig (@AustinGerig) reported

    @coryklippsten @muneeb @Stacks Lmao. Wait you are saying US gov take down by identifying bitcoin dev from GitHub? I thought #btc was immutable

  • lmaperdigao Luis Perdigao 🔬👨‍💻🇪🇺🇺🇦 (@lmaperdigao) reported

    GitHub now reporting invalid certificate error. Is it only happening to me?

  • patoui2 Patrique Ouimet 🇺🇦️ (@patoui2) reported

    @xsgames_ 1. Code read through 2. Log statements at various points with important info 3. Debugger step through 4. Official docs 5. Google (usually points to GitHub issues or StackOverflow) 6. StackOverflow

  • Emmonspired Dan 💕+ ⏳=🤚💎✋ (@Emmonspired) reported

    @ErikVoorhees @octal @github All of these places need better leaders. Look at my pinned post and ask me if i'd stand down to these demands

  • jakedowns Jake Downs (@jakedowns) reported

    definitely not helping matters by being stuck on vue2 at this point. man... LTS in the JS community is rough. it's there, but it's kind of, an after-thought. lot's of combing through github issues to find the right combo of version numbers to pin things to

  • pomel042 AlizeDee (@pomel042) reported

    @Shizzy87 @DylanLeClair_ @TornadoCash decentralized github is impossible. decentralized bitcoin repo is easy: run your own *** server and pull the original repo. but a proof of work based *** server would be cool. then it would be easier to validate the huge amount of redundancy.

  • nateprewitt Nate Prewitt (@nateprewitt) reported

    @_romuald @sethmlarson I’m working with Kenneth to potentially get the domain back online, hence the recent change. We’ll update the GitHub issue if anything comes of that.

  • TheTechRally TechRally 🇰🇷🇺🇸 (@TheTechRally) reported

    @__diog @TornadoCash @github Technically the govt didn’t shut it down right? It’s a private company (GitHub)
