If everybody at ICE protests showed up with masks and a gun would there be more or less violence? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Odds of getting a democratic regime out of a civil war are usually fairly low. The guys with the guns normally do not like to give away their power.

Look at our world right now. How many democracies vs. authoritarian regimes do you count? Then, look at the world at any other point of history outside of the last 100 years.

Democracy is a very unique and rare form of government. I would not gamble on a civil war achieving the outcome you would prefer even if the “good guys” win.

Also be aware that differences in ground potential can be an issue: https://www.truecable.com/blogs/cable-academy/how-to-fix-a-ground-loop

That is also something you can avoid by going with fibre optics.

It really is too bad we dont have a federated github alternative. I know theres some projects in development, but I can see the emulator scene getting harder and harder to get into if popular repos go down. Decades of work, gone.

There is Radicle which is a peer-to-peer forge.

Edit: Don’t expect all the features of GitHub or Forgejo though.
