  • git was designed to be decentralized. Everyone can (technically, but it is not too hard to set up if you have some affinity with servers) fork/clone another git repository and serve it up. It has built-in ways to synchronize with any other server. In fact, that synchronizing is what most developers do when they use git.

    Of course, that would make it harder to know which repository has the “official” version, but in a way, that is maybe also a benefit of decentralisation. Knowing what code is authentic can be done by signing the commits.

    The hubs that we see, are usually a combination of git and a way to serve the code, along with documentation, roadmap, bug tracking, automatic testing and building and the resulting binaries in a visually pleasing way. That does not need to be a part of decentralizing the code, and it is not the only way to do it.

    Some of that can also be done with git built-in tracking of files, and the building and testing can probably also done in other locations, as long as there are files describing how to do that bundled with the code (which practically all projects already do).

    Sourcehut (https://sr.ht) is one hub that helps developers use simpler tools for those workflows, and I think that’s a good place to find some inspiration.



  • Was going to say something similar. Wit bolletje translates to white little ball, so not far from roll.

    We also call them zachte bolletjes or soft little balls. Or just zacht broodje which means soft little bread. As opposed to harde broodjes (hard little breads) which I guess refer to keizerbroodjes (little emperor breads (the bread being little, not the emperor)) which are emperor rolls.

    My family is from Limburg, Netherlands, but we may also have been a bit weird. This is just Dutch, by the way, not Limburgish.
