"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.

Everyone loves jeering at vibecoded #GitHub being down all the time. Yet for some reason people still neglect to question making #Microsoft the primary guarantor of their software's supply chain #security. And the whole attestation nonsense that doesn't really protect against the most likely attack vectors.

With #GitHub slowly falling apart, I couldn't be more excited to be working on a better way to host the world's #OpenSourceSoftware:

@radicle - the peer-to-peer GitHub alternative.

I took a minute to write down what I feel is especially exciting about it:

#GitHub fixes #RCE flaw that gave access to millions of private repos

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/github-fixes-rce-flaw-that-gave-access-to-millions-of-private-repos/

#cybersecurity

I have been using GitHub (https://github.com/steinbring) for a long time, and I have been seeing a lot of people dunking on it lately (e.g., https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github) because of its many failings. I don't think that something like Codeberg (https://codeberg.org) or Bitbucket (https://bitbucket.org) is the answer because there is still a central point of failure and hosting bills to pay. I like the fact that things like ForgeFed (https://forgefed.org) and tangled (https://tangled.org) exist to at least federate comms.

I really don't know what the answer is.

#Github #ForgeFed #Tangled #Git #SourceControl

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

If anybody here happens to have a GitHub account, it would help a great deal to drop Pearl a star. Right now, the project is buried in search despite having a (small but present) user base and being actively maintained.

No pressure of course, but it would help a lot!

System76 founder Carl Richell says Colorado’s SB26-051 may be amended to exempt open source software, including OSs, repos, and containers. 🏛️
The change follows advocacy, but wider state and federal proposals still risk verification rules that could limit open access and user control. 🔐

｢ Stars sell for $0.03 to $0.85 each on at least a dozen websites, Fiverr gigs, and Telegram channels - no dark web required
VCs explicitly use stars as sourcing signals: Redpoint found the median star count at seed is 2,850, and firms run automated scrapers to find fast-growing repos ｣

Just got this from Microslop GitHub:

> We're updating how GitHub uses data to improve AI-powered coding tools. From April 24 onward, your interactions with GitHub Copilot—including inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—may be used to train and enhance AI models unless you opt out.

I barely ever use GitHub. When I do, it's when I am forced to because some project I rely on only uses GitHub.

If you're project is only using GitHub, please consider migrating.

OpenAI is developing its own GitHub-like code platform after repeated GitHub outages disrupted internal engineering work 🧩.

If offered commercially, it could deepen dependence on OpenAI’s stack while raising fresh questions about developer lock-in, code privacy, and competition with major investors like Microsoft 🔒.
