People don't seem to realize the risk of centralizing on a single provider and solution. Currently, it's like 90% of the FOSS projects are hosted on GitHub. It all seems smooth and all until one day you log in to their platform and find yourself essentially shunned-off from collaborating on FOSS scene [1] . I'm grateful Codeberg, sourcehut and other alternatives exist. One nitpick from my experience: Codeberg's stati…

I agree, but I also like that everything is on github because it is a single place to search. Is there a meta-search engine for github/gitlab/codeberg/bitbucket/sourceforge/etc.? It would be useful and make it less essential that everything is with one provider. UPDATE: Before someone says "google" I'm specifically talking about a context-aware search engine that has knowledge of code-specific attributes like languag…

However, we sometimes tolerate repositories that aren't perfectly licensed and focus on spreading awareness on the topic of improper FLOSS licensing and its issues.

Is this really worth throwing a hissy fit over? The OSI list alone is quite broad [1]. I see many licenses there that do not restrict inclusion of code in commercial products. [1] https://opensource.org/licenses/

I hate how on Hacker News it's always the corporate, proprietary, market that is cast as the underdog. You know the one who get all the press coverage and has VC money behind it.

hacker news sees creating a company and tearing up regulations as the ultimate form of altruism and bravery add in a side of guzzling right wing talking points from a fire hose and claiming to be a philosopher-economist and you've got a nice front page post discussion

This has been added to gitea/forgejo https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/21696

Yes, I know. The codeberg issue I linked has a link to the upstream gitea issue, which was closed as completed. But presumably codeberg.org hasn't updated their gitea to have that feature yet.

They (Gitea) introduced actions. It is already included in the current releases, but codeberg might just not activate it. It works quite good, I actually wrote a gitea action already ("gitea-release-drafter").

Nice, perhaps is worth to invest into such kind of "fediverse" (using Codeberg with my own hosted action runners/boxes), I'd buy into that feature much faster than into any other (e.g. using Codeberg for PRs from proprietary hosted "Codeberg" instances).
