I am really really amazed at how many people discount this alternative because it does not work but do not realize that they are being slaves to Microsoft by using Github. Honestly, I do not get it.
Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people

#92tangled.org is another interesting take that's open source and built on ATProto (which I have mixed feelings about).
Also radicle.xyz

#93Codeberg is not a 1-1 replacement for github/gitlab but for many people it is a better option. I really wish there was a way to support with them a smaller amount then €24. I dont use codeberg myself but I really want to support them.
You can, €24 is just for the membership
Wire transfer is €10
Stripe is €5
With PayPal you can send €0.01 if you want
Or Liberapay, as little as €0.01 per week

#94Codeberg vs selfhosted Gitlab. What do you think?
For what its worth, it's pretty easy to maintain a low traffic Gitlab instance.

I've had the same experience. Philosophically I think it's terrible that Cloudflare has become a middleman in a huge and important swath of the internet. As a user, it largely makes my life much worse. It limits my browser, my ability to protect myself via VPNs, etc, and I am just browsing normally, not attacking anything. Pragmatically though, as a webmaster/admin/whatever you want to call it nowadays, Cloudflare is…
Either I am very lucky or what I am doing has zero value to bots, because I've been running servers online for at least 15 years, and never had any issue that couldn't be solved with basic security hygiene. I use cloudflare as my DNS for some servers, but I always disable any of their paid features. To me they could go out of business tomorrow and my servers would be chugging along just fine.

#96Really, they day I finally tire of github, I will just move to gitlab. git hosting is not something I want to wast my time yak shaving.
I'm running Forgejo for years now and I spend almost no time on it. I just host it with my other services. Backups automatically with Syncthing and I manually check in on the server and run apt-get upgrade once every two weeks.
Re: Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people
#97Why? I want to understand why? Out of principle? I think some services just end up becoming foundational and we need to move on to other things for other things e.g if we're going to replace GitHub it's because we're creating new habits. Not because we're replacing like for like. That never works. What is a new code hosting platform offering. You know what, pair it with some app dev and great, now you've got somethin…

For me its providing uptime. Github is barely reaching one nine of availability these days.

If you can rsync from the other system, and likely have an SSH connection between them, why don't you just add it as an additional remote and git pull from it directly?
I probably could. How does that work with uncommitted changes on the host? Would that be a problem?
If you have ssh access to the remote machine to set up a git remote, you can login to the remote machine and commit the changes that you forgot to commit.

#100I've been using a self-hosted forgejo (which Codeberg uses and maintains) instance for all of my non-work projects and it's been great. I don't miss GitHub at all. I also keep it accessible only from Tailscale so that AI crawlers and such can speedily make their way into the sun.
Same! I've also recently exposed mine to the internet through a fly.io proxy, though. So far, no issues, but I'm keeping a close eye.
