2019-07-29 | GitHub builds wall round private repos, makes devs in US-sanctioned countries pay for it • The Register
'Teams with developers spread across the globe will find it a little hard to collaborate should they have coders in the affected countries. '
'Creative users will doubtless publish workarounds, but with GitHub now pulling down the shutters, affected users would be advised to look at alternatives. '
'Actually getting hold of the GitHub Enterprise Server in the affected countries would, however, be a challenge due to those pesky restrictions. '
'GitLab warned of problems for some countries due to "legal restrictions" following its migration to Google Cloud last year. '
'Affected users were presented with a yellow warning message with little or no warning last week as access to private repos on the service were summarily blocked. '
Microsoft's Team Foundation free hosting is unironically better than anything Github provides anyway - unlimited space, low or no user limit (I forget) and as far as I'm aware it's not subject to the faggot "code of conduct" trash.

So we are at the extinguish level now:
Embrace, extend, and extinguish

GitHub has a Wall. Apple has a Walled garden. China has Firewall. Ny Times has a Pay Wall. Even Heaven has a wall.
Walls are all around us, but the liberals claim the border wall is somehow the ultimate evil.

So create a repo on AWS, maybe use tails, etc.

Github:

- code of conduct for courting fat cunts -- BY fat cunts
- and now this
I have code to publish, but it won't be on github.
