DDoS or just too many new legitimate clients?

Codeberg has been under DDOS attacks for most of 2025, someone out there has it in for them and has been attacking relentlessly. The volunteer team has been very transparent posting about in social media and their blogs.

Considering moving to Codeberg too, but only 90% uptime for codeberg.org has me concerned. Not a great look unfortunately

why not sourcehut?

Drew's direct engagement into tech cancel-culture (with targets such as DHH, RMS, Andreas Kling, Jack Dorsey), makes it difficult to do business with him (assuming hosted sourcehut service as an alternative to codeberg). Furthermore, at the newly proposed service rates it is much more liberating to self-host (any lightweight forge–including sourcehut).

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?

I agree with tpoacher.

A CI that's completely broken and not building anything cannot produce incorrect results.

If it's producing no result at all, you know it's broken, not simply incorrect.

Shame on Atlassian that during their last full bitbucket outage took an hour to even acknowledge an issue on their status page, then another full hour until the status page reflected the reality (that it was indeed a complete outage).

Since 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

I mean, just disable the AI bloat features in GitHub. I’ve been using GitHub since 2010 (15 years - holy shit I am old) and it’s still the best. I never understood the mass complaining, though I give GitLab credit for building a massive company and taking it public. When GitLab launched I was like, this is going to fail as a business 100%. I was wrong.

Edit: Funny enough GitLab is down 9% in pre-market and near all-time lows.

Unless you want to pay for the price increase and have no issue with the owner, then go for signing up for a sourcehut account.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think that even with someone having it out for them, the unfortunate reality of running a web service in 2025 is you have to be prepared to handle this and going down for hours at a time isn’t handling it.

Define legitimate clients. I'd guess that a good number of their "clients" are AI scrapers.
