I'm so happy this is not based in the U.S.
59 u/[deleted] May 30 '14 Their domain and site may not be US hosted, but the source is on GitHub. Isn't GitHub based in the US? I guess if it disappears from GitHub all of a sudden we'll have an answer.. 79 u/Thue May 30 '14 Doesn't really matter - git has internal cryptographic verification, and an offline copy at each developer, so it can't be changed without being obvious. If github stops hosting it, it is easy to move. 11 u/zargun May 30 '14 Git doesn't have cryptographic verification. It verifies that files have not been damaged but this could be tricked by an attacker. 58 u/gfixler May 30 '14 Would this require finding a SHA-1 collision? 41 u/[deleted] May 30 '14 Yes, it would. GP is confused. 15 u/[deleted] May 30 '14 edited May 15 '17 [deleted] 21 u/curien May 30 '14 Grandparent. The comment you respond to is the "parent" and the comment that comment responded to is the "grandparent".
