New blog post: Do-the-work instead of proof-of-work, for Git hosting
https://blog.legoktm.com/2026/06/14/do-the-work-instead-of-proof-of-work-for-git-hosting.html
On https://git.legoktm.com/ I am now running a fully client-side Git repository viewer; on the server-side it is entirely static hosting, which makes it super cheap.
I hope this is a useful proof-of-concept as an alternative to (IMO wasteful) solutions like Anubis and provides better user privacy in the process.
