It's git - what do you need low-latency for? Download directories, trees, as the initial requests, then send a second request for the source code you want to download. Then the bottleneck is download speed instead of latency.
For just git, sure. For a web application to present it (eg Gitea, GitLab, etc), then the lower latency would be helpful. ;)
Copyright is an attack on property rights... Suddenly, what other people might have done similarly, restricts what you can do with your rightfully owned property. Can someone explain why government -granted monopolies on human cultural output is a good idea?
I think is valid as long as it protects the right of people creating (now) digital goods, to be payed for if they created that value. But i think the law is to harsh and actually can even destroy that piece from existing for being too severe over the copies of that work. For movies or music for instance, something like 3 year period of copyright ownership would be fine. People would still pay for first access to the…
Great line of thinking. But I think the idea of earning income from a creative work throughout one's life also has value.
A compromise is to retain the existing copyright periods (after which works go to the public domain),but after 5-10 years of creation, works would become free for non commercial distribution. So Netflix would still have to pay for movies in their catalog. But me torrenting it from people freely sharing it and playing it on VLC would be legal.

Just host a gitlab instance through TOR or something, bish bash bosh
GitLab through tor sounds slow...... (Six dots for six hops)
It's the latency that kills you, not sheer bandwidth - I can watch YouTube on Tor on a good day when Google doesn't block my exit.
More people should try Tor. It's easier than you think.

False in this case. The 17 USC (2)(c)(1)(C) safe-harbour protections apply only to hosting of infringing works, and neither youtube-dl nor its test suites infringe on any RIAA or member copyrights as averred in RIAA's notice. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512 The RIAA's letter does not claim infringement within the text of youtube-dl source or test suites , though it tries hard to appear so, but rather a…
Haha! This is absurd: > Microsoft (owner of Github) is listed on the RIAA's members page. Neither Google LLC, its Youtube subsidiary, nor parent Alphabet Inc. are. The RIAA are threatening a member for a §1201 violation against a nonmember. That's ... weird. https://www.riaa.com/about-riaa/riaa-members/

Well I've been guessing that github was going to get killed off and rolled into of azure devops at some point. As for the ICE contract, do you have any idea how much money the U.S. government pays to microsoft, of course they aren't going to back out of a contract. if they did, you can bet an emergency board meeting would be held, and who ever made that call would be axed and the contract reinstated, the JEDI cloud s…
I think you are right, except your first sentence. Azure DevOps will be the one which will be reoriented to GitHub, not the other way around. Azure Repos and Pipelines are basically duplication in GitHub world. But Azure DevOps issue tracker is superior to GitHubs (or GitLabs but not Jira).
Naming a brand after a concept is an asshole thing to do, sure it puts your product in the search results for anyone googling devops, but it makes looking for anything related to the product painful, so I'm all for another name change.

Tor uses 3 middle nodes, so it's only 6 hops if you count the round trip. It's the latency that kills you, not sheer bandwidth - I can watch YouTube on Tor on a good day when Google doesn't block my exit. More people should try Tor. It's easier than you think.

This is hilarious, well done. I realized something while :+1:-ing your PR: I was thinking about how digg deleted my account over posting the AACS key, I really couldn't care less if Microsoft deleted my account over it. Very interesting considering that even just 2 years ago I never would have done this for fear of my account being deleted. All of my work and personal projects are moved to gitlab (the CI/Kubernetes/e…
Microsoft is losing the good will they've worked so hard to rebuild. Microsoft employees, managers, Satya: do you see what you're doing? I love the direction you've taken over the past five years, but bowing to the RIAA and attempting to disrupt an innocuous tool are horrible decisions. It's a chilling note, and everyone involved in tech can hear it. Are you telling us Github is not a safe place to develop software a…
What bothers me about DMCA the most is the lack of due process. In the US, one would think more than any place else you have the right to a lengthy trial before have a right stripped away. Both political parties in the USA regularly chip away at our rights in the ever on going battle to capture more votes from extreme positions or 'bring the usa in line with international (read european) standards', in this case WIPO…
No rights has been stripped away, you can still go the lengthy trial way if that's what you want to.
Respecting the DMCA is a way for the platform to avoid the lengthy trial process, because first, they don't care about your content, and second, because it's an incredibly expensive process.
The beauty in the DMCA system too is that you can file a counter claims, sadly not all platform make it easy to do so, but that just show how much they care about your content. I heard that Github allow to and that it's not too hard.

I get the analogy, but guns are typically purposed for lethality. Software is not typically purposed for piracy. Maybe "trying to hit someone with your car"? Not sure.
It's a perfect analogy because it is so extreme. The powers that be have already accepted that way of thinking (because guns are not illegal) and it's therefore even less of a stretch to apply the same concept to software tools.
