Challenge

The challenge is that there is a confusion between the two code repositories of wxHexEditor. SourceForge & GitHub. Which repository is the primary one?

Links

Resolution

To resolve this challenge, I suggest updating the homepage of both repository to communicate to all users with repository is the primary one and which one is the secondary one.

@erdem_ua :) As maintainer of wxHexEditor, feel really free to use any repository to your liking as primary repository. For your consideration and your decision, I suggest to use SourceForge as your primary repository, and use GitHub as your secondary (mirror) repository. Why? Because SourceForge has much stronger privacy and security than GitHub. Why? Because, since 2012, GitHub is owned by Microsoft. And Microsoft has a very long history of weak security, weak privacy, and weak ethic.

• Source Microsoft acquired GitHub at https://archive.md/wip/OFqQP
• Source Microsoft's GitHub weak privacy & security. Just a few of many examples:
............• Windows 10 vulnerability used to Rickroll Github at https://archive.md/eAh9l
............• GitHub & Exchange vulnerabilities at https://archive.md/Di1cv
............• Major security flaw with GitHub at https://archive.md/wip/oHBT1
............• GitHub’s source code was leaked at https://archive.md/2AQjf

Allegedly Microsoft's GitHub did harassment, sanctions, and censorship. How long before GitHub censors users in Turkey? Which is where the author of wxHexEditor resides.

• Source sanctions at https://archive.md/4Ks7n
• Source censorship https://archive.md/f1VB8
