# FAQ

|

## Why DVCS are not actually distributed
|
||||
|
||||
Reason 1. Because they don have a content distribution mechanisms
|
||||
|
||||
Common practice right now is using centralized services,
|

which are:

Common practice right now is using centralized services, which are:
|

|
||||
- Censored
|
||||
- Faulty
|
||||
- Not transparent and irresponsible (For customers. They
|
||||
are responsible as hell for any sort of goverment-alike
|
||||
structures before they even asked for something).
|
||||
- Tracking users
|
||||
- May use their code regardless of license agreement
|
||||
- Giving up the network neutrality in a sake of <skipped*>
|
||||
anyone but customers who pay

There are registered examples, how one most popular git
|
||||
service droppped repositoties because they contain some
|
||||
words in README file.
|
||||
|
||||
And banned accounts for visiting the service from wrong IP
|
||||
address.

Setting own hosts/services for dvcs data hosting.

Yeah, it's the way. But they are

Yeah, it\'s the way. But they are

- Obviously centralized

|

and also:
|

|

- Domain name system is compomised
|
||||
- Certificate system is compomised by so many ways.
|
||||
|
||||
Why? Because they are ruled by commercial companies
|

working in certaing jurisdictions.

What else. Sending patches by email.

- Looks more like anecdote today (but still used be
|

someone)
|

- Email right now is a centralized service with all the
|
||||
consequences (see above)

Okay, ley's bring the overlay network (VPN), place all our
|

hosts and resources there and will use own DNS.

Yeap, it will work. But is it will cost you. It is
|
||||
acceptable for an organisation, but hardly for a group of
|

random people.

Imagine, you generate a couple of cryptographic keys, drop
|
||||
the repo to a folder and it distributes by torrents as easy
|
||||
as any other torrents. Fully encrypted and only certain
|
||||
subscribers could decrypt and use the data.

Well, torrent are brilliant, but they not just not designed
|

to do things like this easily.

Things like Syncthing don't scales, in fact event if you
|

will use git repo in syncthing dir, you will face file
|
||||
modification conflicts even if you use them alone.

So that's why HBS2 came to light. Trust me, if I could use
|
||||
some decentralized solution normally for this I'd never
|
||||
start this project.

## Okay, if centralized services are bad, why are you here?

|

I'm here yet. hbs2-git works only a few days, but it works
|
||||
now. So since 2023-03-23 this service is not an only one.
