Who wants a decentralised github?

No servers or self hosting, no third parties.

Written in Rust!

Current task: merging trivial Golang/wasm and Svelte apps.

Task suspended pending food, lolling about and sleep!

Gitportal code is coming: https://github.com/happybeing/safenetwork-gitportal
#Golang #gitportal #p2p #git #github #decentralise

Supplies replenished, engine checks complete. It must be time for a month of code!

Be cool if I could have a proof of concept done in that time: view remote #git repository, view and create issues and comments all in the browser - no server - a fully #p2p #gitportal.

I'm not fast thought so don't hold your breath, especially as I am completely new to #Golang and #WASM!

I've had little response and no help for my git portal project via my Twitter account.

On #mastodon I've had about ten useful suggestions, lots of interest and support, and doubled my followers.

I thought my Twitter following was good quality - it is, but so little engagement even with > 2k followers!

Next code thing: poking around some Go packages to figure out if I can use go-billy with go-git and git-bug to create an app that can work on any filesystem, and then how to compile it all to Web Assembly so it can run entirely in the browser as a ==> decentralised Git portal see: https://github.com/happybeing/safenetwork-gitportal

I need to update this diagram!

How to interview for technical roles: don't be rigid.

The best interview I experienced was for my dream job. My qualifications were good but not in the area I was being interviewed for. I had though done stuff on my own, learning to design and build micro electronics.

The dept manager said: I'm not interested in what you don't know but what you know, and if he asked me something I couldn't answer we just moved onto something I could. It was superb, I spent a decade there building cool stuff. It made me!

Played with the idea of switching to gnome-terminal the other day and was about to do it until I realised there's a feature of terminator I'm not willing to do without (and not going to try to fix in g-t): different colour scheme for the terminal with focus.

So I tweaked my terminator colours to the slightly nicer defaults in g-t. #Ubuntu #Linux #Gnome #terminator

Well that worked better than expected.

I got github to free up the username 'happybeing' so I could have it (it had been dormant six years) and here I am: https://github.com/happybeing

How? I contacted support via the link at the bottom of the github.com page and asked! A few hours later I got an email saying it's done, go for it.

Now to continue building a #p2p #gitportal to replace #github 😸
