It seems everything bug CI is back up. Congrats to Codeberg for having a real status page and not a made up one like AWS and many others.
What's better, CI thats built by monkeys or CI that's offline?
definitely the latter.

#22Considering moving to Codeberg too, but only 90% uptime for codeberg.org has me concerned. Not a great look unfortunately
why not sourcehut?

#23I would say hug of death is very different to an outage due to an error. Still good to own up ofcourse!

#24Since we've seen some high-profile projects move to Codeberg recently, and I was trying to sign-up, may be relevant to HN's interests :)
"Zig quits Github" is like two steps down from this on the front page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46131406 :D
https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig
Currently Zig is the second most "stared" project on Codeberg (1443 stars). The first one is forgejo/forgejo (3154 stars) which is powering Codeberg, and the third one is dnkl/foot terminal emulator (1434). (see https://codeberg.org/explore/repos?q=&only_show_relevant=tru...)
It's always interesting to see big and significant projects moving away from major commercial platforms. Could it be a sign of something new on the horizon?

#25So when Codeberg gets famous what's to stop Microsoft or another behemoth from acquiring it and starting the whole cycle over again?
Re: Codeberg is down
#26Good thing git is distributed!
I always like to move as much as possible into the repo itself, 'issues' etc in a TODO, build scripts, or however you want to achieve that, so you can at least carry on uninterrupted when the host is down.

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is a bot. It's even copied the typo from the top comment.
If you email hn@ycombinator.com they're usually quite responsive about banning obvious bot accounts.
Ah, I was wondering about that. Flagging didn't seem like quite the right thing to do, but at the same time I don't see a reason to leave bots hanging around.
Thanks Gary, I'll use that next time.

It is a non-profit association based in Berlin, and its very existence is a protest towards Microsoft and the other big actors in this space. And it is built on Forgejo, an open source project with a strong community around it.
Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech :)

It’s an e.V., a German legal construct for public good organizations.
That doesn’t make it impossible to buy it, but all profits from a sale must flow into recognized public good efforts. The incentive to sell for huge sums is just much lower for all people involved.
