Mirrors

The same build is served over Tor, I2P, IPFS, Arweave, Nostr, Gemini, gopher, and over SSH, telnet and anonymous FTP as a text edition. The source is mirrored to Codeberg, Gitea, GitLab, SourceHut, Radicle, Tangled and Software Heritage alongside GitHub.

Every build publishes a manifest of SHA-256 hashes for every file it ships, so a visitor can verify that the copy they received is the copy that was published. The manifest's own hash is signed to Nostr and timestamped into Bitcoin with OpenTimestamps.
