An engineer's life around Kyoto

When I'm home, I use fiber-optic line with a dedicated old small router (YAMAHA RT107e) for access to the Internet. But I recently became anxious about the router. If it fails, how can I survive until I get another one? So, I tried to connect my Debian desktop PC to the fiber-optic line without the router. The PC have to talk to the other side of the line with PPPoE but I did not know how. In my PC, the Network Manager manages network configuration. So, I had to configure the Network Manager to utilize the pppoe like : nmcli connection add ifname eth0 connection.type pppoe username USERNAME password PASSWORD

Now I am in Cluj-Napoca in Romania and joining to the open source software's community event 'DrupalDevdays Transylvania'. Yes, it's on Drupal, one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) released under open source license. Actually, I am new to not only Drupal but also to CMS.

I believe it's a lap-behind topic, but I came across with an idea that Git local repositories can be connected with each other over P2P network, in place of a centralized bare repository. And as I expected, several developers have already proposed such an idea and implemented some software: GitTorrent: https://blog.printf.net/articles/2015/05/29/announcing-gittorrent-a-decentralized-github/ Gitchain: http://gitchain.org/ .  I know almost nothing about them, but they seem to be fascinating. I wonder they could have caught more eyes since Microsoft acquired Github last year.
