Friendly reminder that at some sudden point Github is not going to work anymore. Especially if by "US law" you mean any Executive Order, e.g. because one contributor is too woke for POTUS?

Until such time though, it's a great platform.

Woa!?
“We have a temporary glitch with GitHub—probably some contributor was geolocated in a sanctioned region (no details yet). All required documents to unlock the account have been uploaded. Don't blame Microsoft/GitHub - it is just U.S. law. Please be patient. It should be unblocked soon.”

Executive orders are only allowed to set new policy for the executive branch. They cannot set new law or impact things outside of the executive branch (except by cutting government contracts and the like).

Right, but while we all wait for the Supreme Court to maybe step in, Microsoft will probably just comply.

Depends entirely on the context. For a few projects, probably (they have lots of government contracts), for others, a lower court is likely to throw things out pretty quick.

There is a plan B for Bitcoin Core - and more importantly there are frequent backups - but hopefully we won't need it.

And of course there are promising Nostr based alternatives. Hopefully in a few years we won't have this Sword of Damocles situation.

The [BudaBit](https://budabit.club) community will be a bluprint to unsilo important parts of Github while allowing for a moderated discussion as well as open conversation around code.

It will be like a git-integrated Discord but with threads, and options to connect to the whole of nostr or stay within the confines of your group.

Just tag the git commit of releases in the block chain. It wont be that expensive. Then all the mirrors verify.

I always knew this day would come. Which was a reason nostr was made, with the original nip-17 for git without github. We're probably about 60% of the way there.
