That’s called Git and it’s been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)
Right? Git is literally decentralized. If you choose to use GitHub as a centralized Git service, that’s on you.
(I will caveat this by saying we moved 2009scape off GitHub and the number of new contributors probably got cut in half. Mainstream services have a lot more eyes)
2009scape is wonderful for those like me who need to scratch that RuneScape itch without a subscription. The fact I can play it off of a USB is testament to itself how incredibly awesome you guys are. Thank you for the project, sincerely. :')
Oh sorry, totally forgot, we blocked UK users from accessing the website to avoid a Jagex lawsuit. If you’re on Linux you can still play the game via Flatpak
Git is, but it has no process of discovery or hosting by itself. Those are needed to efficiently share open source software to large numbers of people.

I tried to follow that link and it seems Cloudflare blocked me. Don’t suppose you know who I’d need to talk to to resolve that would you?
Did Cloudflare not let you pass with a captcha?
Nope, just straight up blocked

Oh okay, fair enough. Out of interest, what does Jagex have against the Brits?
They’re based there, and an international lawsuit is magnitudes more expensive so it’s unlikely they’ll do one.
We’ll probably unblock the UK from seeing the website though, our friends (i.e 2004.lostcity.rs) haven’t blocked the UK and are doing great
Wow, TIL, thanks for the info!

git is clearly not p2p in the needed level or else we wouldn’t have faced this problem
