Heaps of Windows 10 internal builds, private source code leak online
| https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/23/windows_10_leak/ | The data - some 32TB of official and non-public installation images and | software blueprints that compress down to 8TB - were uploaded to | betaarchive.com, the latest load of files provided just earlier this | week. It is believed the confidential data in this dump was exfiltrated | from Microsoft's in-house systems around March this year. | It is being described by some as a bigger leak than the Windows 2000 | source code blab in 2004.

Search for backdoors and spyware: Interesting. Although Microsoft admits in the privacy policy that Windows 10 OS is spyware, I wonder how much backdoor or other formerly unknown spying features and backdoors the source code would reveal. Make open source: Would would be very amusing is to see Microsoft cry once someone creates librendows (Libre Windows) and puts this source code on github or something to make open source version of Windows and Windows software. Feel free to take these ideas and run with it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJZT8J3AAoJEAYDai9lH2mwU14QAI5lTeZmhFXBRGte0vWCz2jD 4p+5ICm2zJqTZwid/oqVxVngjRDOeMzPEXo7GtsLasXfw25eEAdvQ4Cc/9VQul0o kXa6wWt78zFmmj5k2EAD5ugbRHJNXLY5YLQWWPtwXzMrOlx4ATuQ/p65eVnVtAwV 7wzL73BuX46pDB70y1J/fPC7E/nlGXVOvbGNhwACHpEyxhoe6pRkbHgFy/mcGoYl dISfsdTW/bwf6vclvQTc/noCwnTFBnHvqFBcSpwpWytM+ZKiJFPk3zeQ8gM0VHxg th9m2imKLD3IEUHpFmBoEMDP1GH9CHXAG7ZdEWVcG4YttBYrrs/p1Gb8fqXKB3jH oYVVz/u8wZpJR313IzrR7BtgF/BM8hLmn2RGWE9cmndBp/8mSELrt3F7mQ0KvkJV siyEUUM2PFIFoQckhe3uWLmIjNxjrmpJYAawxmO+6aMMRB2J7YkRu1kFJO/CagG5 9l0BMzDYyVopFZ6CoJj1C3guYVCBVBhjiSyjMkWNk51xTMlMb9xzN85MCwMuKUGB 42fDH8DJGjo7MrSZGzXcOm3Lizoz/DihXdXp576zmWC/j/DljpVl+F4NjqROBg3k fxi0zvAR/o2mQbR6ROO/z96CBC7pGkhHs7cifrj9+UftXesWVfB0iiJyC4rJngOo nrbXTNX93jqVJV4iCoWo =dKXl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Github would immediately shut it down once Microsoft sent them a DMCA takedown notice. *Maybe* it might last a while on BitTorrent, if anywhere. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com> http://www.rantroulette.com http://www.skqrecordquest.com

Github is too centralized anyways. What is the best decentralized git like system? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJZT8+xAAoJEAYDai9lH2mwuOEQAKk16Gx6hv6/fvpuuHwZlBP3 7ZSG/9LKRbnxppyx47ueeyYisbCYV6bmIR3UR6uHihukcGVHV+oiQ4rg8LHvTqy9 fDPMJXz3iD0LNnXPu0E66BNSMdxn0B5kRhpMN9mW0SfJXNiWC9tgswivqV7vzBf+ AqVajPw2KuwED9s2V+BppU9xOuQVJABOyOHQNJlQMJ7LvDgrMCkwjCBOteUIKaC0 OI+cDJ+z8cwPEzzxkoePc4N5ynJB0Pvs3t5zXoGq7NsZaD71e7QLFCdHk1JWuDI0 aUHucG06UYhgyo9BA4hpoKSKztcvCp3xClRf1Zw1QumNuuTKQDE5Fizs0qofp8YK XDzJLT5IuJ0GLonXfuDv2MikPKV0E9ZXZvzOMqZFfJXoP717Gjn4VSzePEecnxVy 5+Uz7irIIGBxfvoiIQ5IaFTFMkC40P82AbMem9GxUgUohZ3AFqnbJwnVJIRBh0eO /YXQa/qSUlmR6hlzYMkhQx/1TzjRDBQJ2YsebmyWUCgA2liNVD4NR8tg4epPRwsJ 5pKKadv7geMchwpGLeSNmS+Whh4a9zG+F5rrmYum2CpWC8XPO8XLP09ZzhVsx3HJ TIYvQDz9wOgnHnWSd7k82or7sC/yE1mKYRCkWFHXS4eNm8oFV1MYNTNVQ91QagYO cn9Wd4QKa2atySculh/Y =Bran -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Check out: GitTorrent (https://github.com/cjb/GitTorrent) and Mango (https://github.com/axic/mango) Unfortunately both has ceased development, it seems. g4z3

It's not exactly what you're after, but given that the options for actual decentralized backends seem few and far between (there was also GitChain btw - https://github.com/gitchain/gitchain ). It's fairly trivial to set up a central repo that you push to, and have a post-receive hook on it to forward any commits onto Github, Bitbucket and a variety of other git-as-a-service providers. Spread across enough providers, it makes take-downs harder (and you can easily just add a new provider - there are plenty of github wannabe's out there, after all). You'd need to be fairly careful about making sure that central repo isn't taken down, but again, it'd be trivial to replace if it were. You'd need to make sure discovery wasn't too hard, but that could be as simple as providing links to the various providers in the repo's README so that anyone with a copy of the README (or the internet archive) know where else to look.
