Hi, Peter the Founder of Pushin.eu here. Sorry, the website escaped containment and landed on HN before I had the chance to update the "marketing materials" aka. landing page. So, here are a few points: *The product is stable, but still in development. That's why some of the core things like pricing, etc. are missing. BUT:* 1.

How is this different from a custom forgejo hosted in europe? What features does this provide compared to traditional code forges?

Yes, we can't block models from scraping the public repos and train on them, but *we* won't use your code (neither public nor private) to train models on them. We really only want to host your code and do that well.

LLMs are read only. A developer would be the one using the LLM to evaluate page response text and scraping what they need. LLMs cannot “crawl pages” or “scrape” or do anything - it’s an offline archive with a few convenience methods.

Being a bit needlessly pedantic here. I think it's well understood in these circles that such models are being driven by agents, which absolutely can crawl and scrape. The only thing a human needs to do is write rules for the agent to follow.

A few observations: - Registrar: HOSTINGER operations, UAB, Lithuania. Hostinger-branded authoritative DNS servers run on Cloudflare’s network. This creates a dependency on a US company. - IPv6 is not supported by the public website/Git endpoint. - DNSSEC would be a great addition for security, especially due to the use of US-based Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt.

Lack of IPv6 is especially disappointing. Means you'll need IPv4 connectivity for your CI servers and other such infrastructure. :(

Your website seems to conflate "Europe" with the EU.

Can you clarify, here and on the website, whether the data remains:

* in _EU member state_ sovereign territory

* in _European states'_ sovereign territory

* on the contentinent of Europe

or some combination of the above?

I am specifically wondering about:

* Out-of-Europe territories of European states.

* UK, Norway, Russia, Switzerland, Serbia etc.

Do you have plans to publish the source code under an open-source license?

https://codeberg.org/ also fits the description of "Git hosting that never leaves Europe".

Regardless of that, these don't seen to play for the same audience. Codeberg Terms of Use[^0] makes it clear that it's only for "projects covered by a licence for free and open source software, free and open source hardware, or free cultural works", and "You must not share projects that mostly consist of code written by "generative AI"-tools". They also only provide private repos where the FOSS system need it for the…

Not a problem if you don't ask a robot to write code for you.

Congratulations! I'm hooked. The AI slop block is what I like to learn more about. The FAQ does not include AI slop. Can you elaborate a bit on it please.

I just added a new FAQ item for that, but I'll copy it here as well: We plan to reduce low-quality contributions through several features, some already in place and others still to come. Invite-only registration helps us discourage low-quality accounts and confirm that new members are real people. Next, we plan to introduce a vouching system, similar to Tangled's, that lets contributors build a reputation. We'll comb…

Amazing. Now the next is how to get an invitation or find someone who has codes to share.

The FAQ seems clear on this

> Where is my code actually hosted?

> On bare-metal servers that we operate in Scaleway's Paris datacenters

Love it and will try to find a way to use it and pay for it. That name though, does make me feel that somewhere in the stack is a tool called Gitler. Sorry!!

Thank you, but what? The name was meant like: `Push in (Europe)` hence, pushin.eu

I read it as "push in you" and was confused
