Today I'm proud 😁 to have migrated 70% of my active Github repos to codeberg.org. I did not touch the #liferea repository yet, because I want to get some experience with codeberg first and avoid breaking stuff for maintainers and need some more time about whether expensive build actions are justified on codeberg.org.

When migration the repos I also dropped several Github actions. While they were nice for enforcing testing and auto-running build I do not think it is justified to run stuff in the cloud when it can run as a pre-commit hook. 🌱

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t.

Use @Codeberg instead.

Forgejo: https://forgejo.org ...

"Forgejo is a Free Software platform for collaboration and productivity in software development. It offers a familiar environment to GitHub users, easy installation and maintenance, and a focus on security, scaling, federation and privacy."

... codeberg has a nice setup (via forgejo) if you don't want to self-host.

Well, it's official, I have torn down my site from surge.sh. Kind of sad since it was my first and only blog home.

The site's new home is Codeberg (ICYMI):

Site: https://readbeanicecream.codeberg.page/
RSS: https://readbeanicecream.codeberg.page/feed_rss_created.xml

So update your bookmarks and RSS feeds!

I still like the surge project and will keep my surge related posts there for informational purposes.

Seriously considering a switch from #GitHub to #Codeberg after reading the post below, but I'm not sure I have the energy for it.

Alright, who can help this n00b (me) figure out how to get a static site working on #Codeberg #pages? Anyone using Codeberg want to help me out? #fedihelp #askfedi @Codeberg

@mttaggart I know you *were* using it but moved away. Perhaps you'd be able to answer my nub questions rather quickly? 😅

Update: got it figured out. Thanks @mttaggart !

I've been busy working on my page on #codeberg I love #jekyll it's a great static site generator. One of these days I'll wrote my own :D https://kasbjornsen.codeberg.page #coding

The app can't be available on #Obtainium like our other apps because it exceeds the 100Mb limit for release attachments on #Codeberg.
Maybe there is another solution that we're not aware of?

Gentoo moves too!

In recent days, weeks, months, the fallout hasn't even begun - Microsoft is still weathering the blast itself. Even in the last couple of days viral videos are racking up millions of views covering what many people are hailing as the demise of Microsoft itself - to be certain, no one is shedding any tears.

The first two defectors? HP and Samsung (PCs and Androids). Samsung removed preinstalled Microsoft apps from their devices and now other Android manufacturers are following suit.

When you go to purchase an HP laptop now it comes with Linux by default (or you can, upon request, pay more for a Microsoft operating system). Following suit were Dell (same thing, Linux by default or your can request Windows 11 and pay more money for it), then Lenovo, ASUS, and Acer - pretty much everyone that matters has abandoned Microsoft.

Even the retailers are bugging out - Best Buy, Walmart, and even Amazon are jumping ship, and I don't even need to explain why, but again, you can pay more to be subjected to invasive privacy mining. CoPilot and Recall may be the straws that broke the behemoth's back.

And the shockwaves of ever larger concentric circles have found their way to Gentoo, the latest prominent project to begin the migration to CodeBerg according to Linux Journal.

Adherence to the values of privacy and open source are cited, and Codeberg champions those values, themselves having moved to a hosted git software project that values those principles - Forgejo.

There's a huge paradigmatic shift occurring with respect to how people view their privacy, and especially their identities and intellectual property. They've had enough of the dismissive subjugation and are realizing they can do much better, faster, with more privacy, and without tracking or malware pre-installed in their systems, for much less money.

It will be interesting to see how the Redmond Dreadnought manages to maneuver this time; have they even the use of their rudder to persuade all of the major manufacturers of Android devices, desktop and laptop PCs to come back from the pasture into the slaughterhouse?

Why did Gentoo choose Codebeg over alternatives?

I'm a little sad that #Codeberg now (*almost) requires JS to view most pages.

Thanks for ruining everything, #AI creepbros.

BTW, I don't mean to be insensitive, but I can't help hear people saying "Just use AI!" as "Just use slavery/genocide!"

That's how it's starting to sound to me.

Maybe I spend a little too much time on the fediverse, I dunno. XD

Migrating #Dillo from GitHub to our self-hosted server.

I wrote a post about the current situation with #GitHub and how we ended up self-hosting our own infrastructure to be robust against data loss. We now store all important data (including issues) in git repositories which are replicated accross #Codeberg and #Sourcehut.

Migrating from GitHub to Codeberg ⚡ Zig Programming Language

｢ Putting aside GitHub’s relationship with ICE, it’s abundantly clear that the talented folks who used to work on the product have moved on to bigger and better things, with the remaining losers eager to inflict some kind of bloated, buggy JavaScript framework on us in the name of progress. Stuff that used to be snappy is now sluggish and often entirely broken ｣

A feature that’s currently missing from @forgejo (and thus @Codeberg) is the ability to move issues between repositories (see https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/1280).

Thankfully, Benjamin Melançon created Forego Helpers with a move_issue.py script that does this using the Forgejo API. Sadly, the script has a bug in it (a tiny regression introduced during a refactor) and their Forgejo instance doesn’t have signups so I couldn’t create a pull request, so here is a fork for the time being that you can use:

https://codeberg.org/aral/forgego-helpers

While fixing the bug, I also updated the project to use uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) – think of it as a single tool that’s the equivalent of nvm and npm in Node.js that makes Python, well, usable out of the box.

So to move issue #299 from kitten/app to kitten/site on Codeberg, for example, you’d run the following in your terminal:

```shell
uv run move_issue.py kitten app 299 kitten site
```

That will move the issue (including comments), comment on both the old and new issues to link them together, and then close the old issue.

Enjoy!

Codeberg deployed Forgejo v13.0.0 which now detects Interlisp sources and handles them as text rather than binary files. We thank the developers who implemented the feature, @forgejo and @Codeberg for widening the choice of tools and code forges for hosting Interlisp software.

Ohh, you might PR #Friction to delightful creative tools list on #Codeberg. See:

@nixCraft You just reminded me of the time I got banned from GitHub. It was about a year ago - for no reason at all 🤷‍♂️ Back then, I barely committed anything, and I used the social features even less. One day, I logged in to activate the Student Pack and saw that my account was banned

Luckily, I contacted support 🛠️, and if I remember correctly, everything was back to normal the next day. They told me their moderation algorithms (yes, they use AI 🤖) had made a mistake, and my account was reactivated.

Still, GitHub has been drifting away from my values for some time now, and that trend hasn't stopped. At the same time, my standards have been gradually getting stricter. So now I'm seriously considering switching to 🏔️ @Codeberg. I just need to sort out a few things with my current projects on GitHub, especially the ones I'm not working on alone.

#GitHub #Codeberg #Microsoft #Code #Programming #Privacy

aside from gitnex, what are your favourite apps to use for forgejo/codeberg on android?

bonus points if it works for other forges, but tbh the only other one i care about is sourcehut (i love you @ddevault)

@forgejo @Codeberg
#git #forgejo #codeberg #android #boost

#codeberg is down? @Codeberg

Loudly shouting at #Microsoft to stop forcing "AI" on #GitHub users might lead to some sort of success. Until the next shiny thing comes along.

I took stock, understood what is really happening, that you are accepting to be locked in to a walled garden that you do not control.

So I silently packed up my stuff a while ago and moved to a place and community that accepts, respects and defends my freedom. My repos have moved to #codeberg, I am running my own #forgejo instance and build runners.

On Codeberg and other Forgejo social-coding sites, you can customize your profile using a special repo named:

.profile

If you look at the screen-shots, I show a 'before' and 'after'

Before I create that special .profile repo, you just see a list of my repositories.

After I create that special .profile repo, you see whatever I put in .profile/README.md

See:

And, you can see my .profile repo here:

#codeberg and #forgejo to #Github is just like #Fediverse to #Facebook or #Twitter. Real communities, where real people interact, share and discuss, not really caring about "reach", likes and how many followers, but places where we are far more interested in p2p in the real sense. People to People. Not People feeding Machines.

Sure, it's a comparably smaller group, but only when you compare it to what it doesn't aim to replace. I like it here, because it's different :)

What #OpenSource and #SelfHost can do. Had an idea, discussed it here. Seemed to rhyme with people. Booked two domains. Created a landing page with #Jekyll and CI/CD from a #git repo on my #Forgejo instance. Created logo with #Inkscape. Added #letsencrypt certificate. Put it on my VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, (#RHEL) where it is now served with #Nginx. Git repo mirrored to #Codeberg so all can join. In under 8h.

Building the static pages for the website automatically with the forgejo runner that runs after every push to the repo.
