soc.octade.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
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."... or cgit, which is very fast and slick for the barebones portal ...
... codeberg has a nice setup (via forgejo) if you don't want to self-host.

Netherlands is quietly moving away from GitHub. 🇳🇱👩💻
The Dutch government has soft-launched code.overheid.nl, a government-wide open-source code platform built on Forgejo. 🇳🇱
This is a massive win for digital sovereignty, proving that large public institutions can successfully deploy sovereign infrastructure and move away from proprietary GitHub or GitLab lock-in.

We are now officially using @forgejo! The Fedora Forge is ready for contributors to start migrating to. Cutoff for switching from Pagure is by Flock to Fedora 2026.
New chapter :)

It's been a while I refreshed my pinned #introduction toot, and I figured today will be a fitting day to write a new one.
Hi! Despite the avatar, I'm not a furry
, I'm a boring cishet white dude. Despite my privileged status, I might be considered a "terrorist"
in some weird jurisdictions, and some companies
will consider me a "malicious actor", because I built myself a crawler defense system that serves them an infinite maze of garbage. To them, I say: fuck you. I'm a Vengeful Mouse.
I also have the privilege of being able to admire the human body in all shapes and forms, even such "grotesque" things as a female presenting nipple (like this one:
, not to be confused with the
, an entirely different and totally not grotesque thing). I wish this was the norm, rather than a privilege.
I'm a serial drive-by contributor, I have my fingerprints all over the internet. I have code in #QMK, #Kaleidoscope, and #Chrysalis, but I contributed to #Forgejo, #niri, and a whole lot of other things too. I find great joy in playing with new things, and submitting patches or other contributions. I used to be a #Debian developer, I've put #Hy in production, and lately I've been building #NixOS configurations not only as a literate #OrgMode document, with with #OrgRoam. I am extremely normal and neurotypical.
Apart from these very normal things, I use #NixOS to boot into #Emacs, which is the real operating system I use, like a very sane, completely neurotypical person would. I also tend to live-toot (very verbosely) all kinds of shenanigans I'm up to, because I always forget I have a blog.
While I do wrangle code for a living in a variety of languages (in whatever language necessary, I'm a generalist! But if I can choose, I turn to #Rust, although #Lisp languages are also very dear to me), if it were up to me, I'd much prefer wrangling other kinds of words
than programming language symbols. Sadly, we're not living in a world that makes possible, so I had no choice but become a #luddite and so can you.
But I'm not all about tech
! I'm also Dad to wonderful Twins, and Husband to my Wife, who not only puts up with my crazy, but gently
fans the flames too. I may occassionally toot about #parenting, too.
I may or may not have an unhealthy addiction to footnotes
.
Nope, I'm not in denial stage, I do not work in infosec. ↩︎
I'm anti-fascist. ↩︎
Short stories like this toot, or The Tragedy of Byr (which might need an explanation to really understand what's going on). ↩︎
I wish I could leave tech, really. ↩︎
Where "gently" is either an eyeroll and more wood thrown onto the campfire, or straight up lighting up the neighbourhood, figuratively speaking. ↩︎
...if you haven't noticed yet... ↩︎
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.
I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

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.
@nopatience @gitea
Maybe you didn’t replace GitHub with gitea sooner because you remembered they are also corporate goons? #forgejo
#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.
