| There's some panic in the air over Microsoft courting Github. | |
| Alarmists are pulling their projects down, moving to self-hosted | |
| Gitlab instances and so on. I'm confused by the whole thing, | |
| though. Git isn't github. My repos aren't property of github, even | |
| if it's one of the remotes. I have everything up there mirrored in | |
| several remote locations. That's the beauty of git! It's | |
| distributed. Every repo is the complete repo. | |

| [0] Decentralised Git | |
| This gopher hole is a great example. It's currently located: | |
| - on this laptop I'm writing on | |
| - on gopher.black (raspberry pi) | |
| - on SDF | |
| - on Tilde.town | |
| - on bitbucket.org | |
| - on my macbook air at work | |
| - on a backup tower at work | |
| - on my PC in a VM in VirtualBox | |
| - and probably some other places I forgot about | |
| I think the lesson here for people shouldn't be to fear Microsoft | |
| nabbing Github. The lesson should be, distribute your shit, | |
| people! Use git for awesome. |
