#152Off-topic: This reminded me of NESticle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESticle
well that's a name I didn't expect to see coming into this thread, lmao.
so many good memories of that software but for some reason I'm remembering a red theme.

#153What about codeberg.org?
What about it? It‘s an almost completely different product. Codeberg is like GitHub.com, GitLab.com, or sr.ht: a centralized hosted solution.
The software behind Codeberg is Forgejo, which is a fork of Gitea. The team of Forgejo is working on a federation protocol based on ActivityPub. Once it is done, it will be able to exchange data with other Forgejo servers and any server supporting that protocol. So, we may expect that Codeberg will transform from centralized to federated.
sr.ht chooses another approach. You only need an email to submit codes, file issue, join discussion, etc. From perspective of source hosting, it is centralized. But, from perspective of project collaboration, it is decentralized.

There appears to be a git remote helper in the repo, so this will work just fine with standard git.

#155This could enable development of projects like forks of Yuzu, with reduced risk of DMCA interference.

#156Earlier quoted context omitted.
I won't reveal anything about our finances, but the current code base is a little under 2 years old. We've worked on the general problem for over 4 years in total though. The team is around 12 people, split between protocol, cli, tui, web and content. The product is set to launch this month, so we're just starting to onboard users, but many people in the community are already using it, and we've been using it interna…
Sorry, this is sketchy. If you're not clear about your revenue generation and finances, how do I know your project isn't just about harvesting as much user data as possible? Open-source projects obviously need to pay the bills, but if you're not clear on how you are achieving this or hoping to achieve this then there's really zero trust in using this.

#158I hear about Radicle every time crypto market goes up. Is anybody seriously using it ? This got down-voted so fast! :) Serious question though: how much budget was spent on Radicle, how many people did work on it, and who is using it ?
Fair question.
I'm working in the crypto industry and I had the same impression.
Last time I heard about Radicle was the last bull market. Then it was silent in the bear, which is kinda strange, since everyone is always saying, bear markets are for building and Radicle certainly is a builder tool.

#159Unfortunately, it's developed by crypto-brained guys.

#160Hi HN. I am the co-founder of the project. If you are interested in how the protocol works under the hood, start here: https://docs.radicle.xyz/ Docs are still WIP though.
I'm curious if you (or anyone) had a chance to use Mango ( https://github.com/axic/mango ) before it was abandoned?
I do remember Mango! I didn't actually try it out, but we had experimented with Ethereum and IPFS in the past, and it wasn't a great fit for a code collab platform due to performance and cost.
