Codeberg

GammaGames@beehaw.org · 17 pts · 361d (3 replies)

They want everything to be public with an open source license fwiw

paequ2@lemmy.today · 14 pts · 361d (2 replies)

Currently, I'm doing:

  • Codeberg for anything decent that can be public and open source
  • sr.ht for shitty or private stuff

Although, I'm planning to get off sr.ht long term because...

Damn, thanks for linking that report. I have appreciated devault's work for almost a decade, this is a good reminder that just because someone's public actions align with my values does not automatically mean they are infallible nor should they be canonized.

balsoft@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 361d

Well shit. I will still self-host sourcehut because it's so cool from a technical standpoint, but now with disgust for its author

git.gay is also a cool git host

jenesaisquoi@feddit.org · 21 pts · 361d (6 replies)

Idk sounds kinda gay

pineapple@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 361d (4 replies)

Ok my deleted message was: "Saying gay as a synonym for bad or weird is homophobic."

But I'm not really sure if it is in the context you were saying in, this could be taken as a stance in terms of making fun of people who say gay as a synonym for bad or weird. In which case it is totally ok to be mean to homophobes.

I'm kinda confused is this homophobic or not?

jenesaisquoi@feddit.org · 18 pts · 360d (1 reply)

To be gay is absolutely completely 100% fine. But it's also, like, really gay. Does that help?

Kertyna@feddit.nl · 6 pts · 360d

Stop already, you're gonna break their brain.

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 15 pts · 361d (1 reply)

I think they were just making a joke because git.gay.

As in, not as bad or weird but more making fun of the homophobic "it's gay" argument that used to be used.

I do the same thing with my spousy occasionally. We're gay as hell, so it's funny as shit when I stroll by their room and just say, "Gaaaaaaaay~". Lol.

pineapple@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 361d

I just had a pretty intense argument with my friends about this and we ultimately came to the same conclusion as you pretty much.

Forgejo, Codeberg, Gitlab, or self-host.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone · 35 pts · 361d

should be pointed out that codeberg is just a hosted and branded instance of forgejo (nothing wrong with it just pointing it out)

lordnikon@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 361d (2 replies)

I just hope people wake up to the fact that at this point GitHub became a social network that just has a code repository attached to it. Anything you care about should be replicated and self host where you can.

zaphod@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 360d (1 reply)

GitHub always claimed to be some kind of social network, their initial slogan was "social coding".

lordnikon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 360d

I always interpreted that to be in an open source sharing code kinda social projects for the betterment of everyone. What it became was people spamming PRs to get minor fixes or merged to pad their resume. Showing contribution heat maps like its a an extension of your resume or getting achievements like it's a video game.

hushable@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 361d

I just migrated my personal projects to Codeberg (and sent a donation their way too!). As soon as I update the origins on my servers I'll be deleting my GitHub account.

The one FOSS project I contribute to was already being hosted on GitLab to begin with. And my work just announced we'll be migrating to GitLab as well.

Today is a good day

I get banned on Reddit about once a week. I don't even post controversial statements. Lemmy is ten times better. Just wish there were more users.

pugnaciousfarter@literature.cafe · 7 pts · 360d

Got banned for telling some one "fuck you you neonazi apologizer". Apparently it was permanent banning offense, even after appealing. Lol.

They didn't ban the other dude. I guess he technically didn't say anything that was violated the rules of reddit. All he did was justify the actions of white supremacist in the past for all the non-white people colonization, murdering and plundering, describing it as a product of time, but at the same timez he was also not okay with white people colonization.

Funny how things work.

lietuva@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 360d

Reddit has become so sterile, all the comments look the same and reposted, i dont think ppl post there anymore 😂. And bunch of dead subs. Really different place that it used to be. Lemmy is much better place

Admetus@sopuli.xyz · 4 pts · 360d (3 replies)

Sometimes I was just being ironic or just joking. A few advertisements were being made over the grounded F-35 in India. I joked that its departure would be like the moon landings all over again and broadcasted similarly all over India.

They hated it. Thought I was being serious. Despite an edit to make it clearer, I still got the Reddit ban hammer.

I deleted my account the same day. A 15 year or more account.

pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 360d (2 replies)

That's hilarious actually. Didn't know India got f-35 planes

sunbeam60@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 360d

It doesn’t (yet, Trump has sort of said they could buy it). The OP was talking about a British F-35B that had a technical issue and got stranded due to a missing part to fix it.

Admetus@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 360d

What's even more hilarious is that my comment was reported and myself banned for 'hate speech'. That's when I knew Reddit is fucked and I'm never going back.

Microsoft bought GitHub like back in 2017.

wuphysics87@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 361d (1 reply)

I knew that part and assumed they were training on repos, but I didn't know they linked them so directly internally. Like this is the most important asset. Train on every push kinda thing.

Ugurcan@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 361d

I was expecting that as well but somehow Microsoft botched it. Training on failed commits should be the most invaluable asset. Yet their internally developed models (Phi) are lagging back of the competitors.

Hadriscus@jlai.lu · 11 pts · 361d (2 replies)

Blender developers moved from Phabricator to their own Gitea instance, about two years ago now. They worked to bring some features to Main that were missing apparently (can't tell you which), and as far as I can tell it seems to be functionally identical.

comfy@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 360d (1 reply)

Around how long ago was this? IIRC Forgejo is a fork of Gitea.

Technoguyfication@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 361d (8 replies)

Gitlab

victorz@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 361d (7 replies)

GitLab vs Codeberg, go!

NuclearDolphin@lemmy.ml · 9 pts · 360d (3 replies)

Codeberg (and Forgejo in general) is the nicest code forge I have ever used.

GitLab has horrible UI/UX. Is slow as hell and so heavy that self-hosting is a strain on compute resources. The layout of the sidebar makes finding what you care about slow.

Forgejo is slick as hell, very light on resources, and does virtually everything GitLab or GitHub does. Looks pretty much identical to GitHub with a clean coat of paint, but the UI runs so much faster in the browser.

The only downside to Codeberg and Forgejo is having to roll your own CI actions.

Forgejo makes migrating projects such a breeze too. You can transfer everything you have on GitHub in under 10 minutes. Forgejo is also working on implementing the ForgeFed spec, which will enable federated projects where people on other instances can create issues and otherwise interact with your project.

Seriously try out Forgejo with a couple projects, there is nothing you will miss about GitHub.

victorz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 359d (2 replies)

Thanks so much for the detailed response!

I was already on both GitLab and Codeberg actually, but now I feel confident moving entirely to Codeberg. ❤️

You wouldn't happen to have tried SourceHut as well, have you?

NuclearDolphin@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 353d (1 reply)

Never tried SourceHut, but it definitely seems lightweight from browsing repos hosted on a SourceHut instance. UI is different from other code forges to say the least.

victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 353d

Yeah. Shame there's practically no free plan, but glad to see there are interesting alternatives.

balsoft@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 361d

GitLab: a lot of cool features, well-integrated, polished. Downsides: resource hog, open-core model (some features locked behind a paid license when self-hosting)

Forgejo (the thing that powers codeberg): it's federated & lighter on resources usage. Downsides: some features still missing/in development

Technoguyfication@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 361d (1 reply)

No experience with Codeberg, personally. My team switched to GitLab at work a few months back and it’s been excellent. They are plenty of features to love, but the better CI/CD support and private package repositories were the deciding factor for us.

victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 361d

I also have good experiences with GitLab. It was very flexible and capable, yet focused. Codeberg seems to be a nice place, but I had trouble finding out its features as clearly as sourcehut had stated theirs. Sourcehut seems really good!

sexy_peach@feddit.org · 9 pts · 361d (3 replies)

You could host your own gitea if your into that kind of thing.

pineapple@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 361d (2 replies)

I've done a bit of research and forjego is seemingly the better version of gitea.

Its a fork of Gitea by the community after Gitea started doing some suspicious things, I can't remember what they are.

beppe@beehaw.org · 2 pts · 361d (1 reply)

i never heard of forjego so i looked it up, feel a bit stupid now after just migrating to self hosted gitea ;_;

Apparently gitea was bought by a private company without listening to community feedback on this decision.

https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

Mubelotix@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 360d

Forgejo is Gitea with federation (work in progress)

portnull@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 360d

Self host or hosted? Self host: forgejo, soft-serve, gitea, bare repos on a server

Hosted: codeberg, gitlab

ArtixCory@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 360d (1 reply)

I created an account, but then realized I could use my existing bluesky account that's registered to my own PDS. Intriguing.

Kwiuu@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 359d

It is isn't it? I hope to see the these kinds of alternatives being the main way we interact with each other, Instead of billionaires controlling the very system the majority of earth's population relies on. I wonder how the Martians are doing (not a reference, just wanted to say that lol)

moseschrute@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 361d (4 replies)

I still use GitHub due to the convenience, but a lot of folks on Lemmy like Codeberg. I also setup a Gitea mirror of my GitHub the other day and it’s pretty cool. Easy to self host

GammaGames@beehaw.org · 4 pts · 361d

Gitea is nice, the gh actions compatability is really handy

victorz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 361d (2 replies)

I'm following so many good repos, hard to give up GH. But I can always migrate my own I suppose.

moseschrute@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 361d (1 reply)

If you’re interested in mirroring your own

victorz@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 360d

Nah I'd rather just delete them from GitHub, not mirror them. But thank you for the helpful suggestion! ❤️

Hexadecimalkink@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 360d

I think Forgejo with federation will take over in another 10 years. Microsoft and others will be forced to copy it similar to meta and bluesky corporate options adding federation.

Forgejo/Codeberg is also a non-profit cooperative so there should sustainability of mission there.

solrize@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 361d

I've been self hosting but various projects have moved to codeberg. I like Savannah as it's more old-school but it's a bit selective about projects.

AmazingAwesomator@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 361d (1 reply)

i selfhost gitlab for my own use. its similar to github, but is a bit of a resource hog and the project tracking is a bit wonky to use. i have heard gitea is really low resource usage, but has fewer features.

digdilem@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 361d

We run self-hosted versions of both Gitlab (ce and enterprise versions) and Gitea.

They're very different things, but broadly what you say is correct. Gitea is lighter, it comes as a single binary and is really fast in operation. For most people, most of Gitlab's featureset will never be used.

Keeping them up to date:

Gitlab has repos for most distros, so updating is really just letting it update alongside the OS. But it does that every two weeks and is very noisy about reminding all users the second that a new release has dropped. (So I get a bunch of emails about this critical new release) Features seem to change quite often.

Gitea has no repos, and doesn't self-update. However, I've written a script that checks and if it's a new version, then it'll download the new version and replace the single binary.

Both are pretty reliable at not introducing breaking changes when updating, I've not had many issues.

My last ban was for "Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence".

My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was "Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary".

I appealed, and the ban was upheld.
