Actual announcement: https://memex.marginalia.nu/log/58-marginalia-open-source.gm... My gitea instance is on a poor Raspberry Pi, probably won't survive HN front page :P

Seems to be up and running fine. Gitea seems to be quite robust and reliable! I hope you have regular backups, I had a number of unfortunate IO corruptions with the PIs.

Thanks for the open sourcing

Seconded. GitHub's social features are undeniable (why distribute a VCS if not to make it more social?), but I'm curious about the toxicity.

> I'm currently looking for hosting for a large term frequency data file that is necessary for several of the search engine's core functions. I really don't have the bandwidth to serve it myself. It's only a couple of hundred megabytes so it'll probably be solvable somehow.

I have a bit of (rented) space available. Most of it on Uberspace.

What are the expected traffic requirements?

Contact me if you like. Will update info in profile immediately.

I would guess that the chan board members and other asshats raided their projects in the past, because they regularly attack / harass these kind of projects when they're not fully open source.

And let's put it this way: the moderation tools at GitHub are a bad joke. Can't even disallow abusive language, so they're 100% ineffective.

I think things like the personalized timeline and comments reactions may be considered toxic by some people.

Wouldn't this be a good match for BitTorrent distribution? The data will be updated regularly and then, all participants will be online and able to share their bandwidth while they download the new frequencies.

The author of the article was saying that Github was toxic and I personally do not see an issue tracker as a social feature.
