Sweet! Iโ€™ll think about it more thoroughly this coming weekend and try to get a sense of the projectโ€™s scaleโ€”whether it's something we could realistically build. In any case, an anonymous GitHub repository would definitely be need.

answered to >>post2047 in >>post3945.
and on other topics:
>>Do you have a rough idea of what technical solutions could work for this?
i think that it roughly can be a narrowed version of bittorrent protocol: people who cloned the repo completely are seeds, and people who are cloning - are peers. when seed pushes data in the repo it sends a message to other clients: "get the updates!!1!", and guys are getting it.

i also think that in such version of git default ssh download should be somehow combined with magnet links in order to handle private repos.

>>Are you suggesting that this place should be accessible only as an onion site on the Tor network?
in my mind the onion site should work as a combo of github/gitlub and piratebay, i.e. only as a storage and indexing of relevant links with a convenient user-friendly search. also it should be capable to handle i2p traffic, like torrent over i2p. ofc, there should be a possibility to create own trackers, in clearnet or in onion zone!

and the idea for monetizing, maybe maintaining node for reward in crypto would be a good idea for sustainability of system.

Sounds good! Who knows, maybe math and C++ are exactly the skills we need :P On a related note, if you're into DG/gr-qc, you might have some thoughts on this user's post: depvana.com/post/2047. Itโ€™d be interesting to hear what the pros think about it.

Iโ€™m really into the idea of peer-to-peer distributed hosting, though itโ€™s not an area Iโ€™m familiar with. Do you have a rough idea of what technical solutions could work for this?

Also, when you mention the darknet, are you suggesting that this place should be accessible only as an onion site on the Tor network?

>>Let us know if you find any
ofc, sure!

>>Perhaps we should create it, is that something you would be interested in? 

i will be definitely interested, but i guess all of my skills are completely unapplicable to such a project: i'm mostly programming on c++ and conducting math.DG/gr-qc research irl :). anyway, we can try to do smth with that, you can write me on "GR5oxbnxFzzARQAS at protonmail dot com".

>>Also how would you like such a place funded?

paying monthly/annualy with crypto sounds not that bad, but.. i am thinking about no-funded decentralized open-source solution, hosted by enthusiasts. maybe smth like torrent over i2p, optimized for repositories. obviously it would be much harder to support and develop, yet such a thing can be interesting for IT community, bounded in Github chains.

As far as I know, there's nothing like that currently. Iโ€™d actually be interested in something like it myself, so let me know if you come across anything. Maybe we should create it ourselvesโ€”would you be interested in that?

Also, how would you envision funding such a place? If you want it to remain completely private, cryptocurrency payments on a monthly or annual basis might be the best option.

hi guys!
is there such a thing like github, but in darknet version? i mean, completely private, darknet-accessible and so on. or just decentralized and without registration, using proof-of-work etc.

I came across this comprehensive guide on internet privacy. I'll likely share some thoughts on it later.

In shadows of the net, she seeks her match,
Where Tor's anonymity is a must to catch.
No public eyes, no prying sight,
Only those who let her post in the dark of night. With every click, a secret shared,
Her heart beats fast, her love unimpaired.
In encrypted streams, she finds her way,
To hearts that understand her digital day.

True. My own solution is, for the most part, forward secrecy. Consider every machine you are using is probably spying on you and your activity, adjust and adapt to that. Like Edward Snowden warned before, if you don't want something known then keep your devices from knowing it, limit the amount of personal information you put into it, use multiple devices to compartmentalize and isolate certain activities making it harder to track everything you do, routinely wipe your web browser session caches/history, etc.

Think of it this way. How is a hacker going to humiliate you if he/she hacks your computer and finds nothing of proof or substantially nothing personal, or of any value, to humiliate you with?

Older non backdored processors are good indeed. Long term, a viable alternative is needed when these becomes inadequate. I don't have a solution.

Newer intel processors have WiFi backdoors since at least 2011 from what I recall. This is one reason I store nearly all my files on multiple separate offline drives for security, as well privacy, reasons. Some of them I have in Blackout faraday cage bags. I even have a separate personal laptop used only for personal email in one. Those bags shield devices from WiFi and electromagnetic hacking/eavesdropping as well protect them from an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack. Good to have for phones too, if you ever wish to become hard to track.

Also avoid newer processors that have been backdoored. It's very hard to find any reliable information on this though

There are encrypted satellite phones but they are expensive.

Pixel 6 can be had, sealed, for ~$300. You can then install GrapheneOS on it. I haven't used any offline messenger but have read about Briar which looks promising. It can allegedly sync through wi-fi, bluetooth and memory cards.
