Codeberg is just a nice logo wrapped around Forgejo/Gitea. I don't really see the appeal besides free hosting + some storage. People should either self-host a gitea/forgejo/gogs server for like 3$ a month on hetzner or just use gitea.com. If you want to share your repos, just use sharemygit.com and spread the repo on coding forums. Personally I find this a much better stimulant for a community, then just having free-…

Codeberg launched forgejo and are the ones behind it.

Well, guess I will take my repositories elsewhere.

Self-host ahem. Do it.

I really want to, as soon as someone actually implements auth federation in a large system. Forgejo is making some steps, but... It's hard to self-host without making contributions really annoying.

For self hosting, you're either large enough for people to go where you are regardless of the system, or you're effectively giving up the changes of having a community.

They are a non profit, not a company and you can have private repos. You are spreading misinformation.

Dude, just read the TOS, jesus: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-pri... It's not misinformation, just read their own page: If you use more than 100 MB of private storage for the use cases mentioned earlier, please send us a request and we can evaluate it. If you do not contribute to any free/libre software project at all, Codeberg is unfortunately not the right place for you. However, check ou…

...in what way whatsoever is this "They dont allow private repos"?

The size limit is........a size limit, something every host should have; there's one for public codeberg repos too.

And while there are restrictions on what private repos are allowed, there are also restrictions on what public repos are allowed too, and it's extremely clear that neither requirement is equivalent to "they don't allow [public / private] repos".

My reading of that section is that, besides the size limit, the rules on private repos are, to an extent, less strict than of public repos; anyone who falls under your second quoted sentence couldn't have any public repos either, by the nature of public repos needing to be FOSS.

How about accepting bug reports and patches by email? You could make this an experiment and tell us how it went.

I'd avoid using overly opinionated code hosters that capriciously change their ToS to ban content that was allowed before without a very good reason. I'd like my code to survive long after I stop maintaining it, and such changes reduce my trust that a hoster will achieve that. (This specific change wouldn't affect me, since all the code I published was written without AI)

Technically , depending on how "share" is to be interpreted, this addition does not retroactively make existing projects infringing.

It doesn't matter whether you technically infringe or not, that's irrelevant. It matters whether Codeberg bans your account.

I think at this point any attempt to prevent it will fail. AI code is almost everywhere, even in projects that were against it 6 months ago.

That makes the remaining human-only communities even more valuable.

Seems pretty inevitable to me. I already don’t trust myself to write code without it being reviewed by AI . It always finds something wrong!

I agree, skills atrophy is a real thing!

(It's a joke, relax... :-))
