Codeberg is great, but let's not pretend that it's a replacement for GitHub. Notably they don't allow private repos and can't offer free CI (not in the same way as GitHub anyway). Plus, I don't see how they would be immune to the slopnami either if they became popular.

Best case would be if GitHub survives and just improves their reliability. I would not be surprised if they start imposing some kind of stricter limits on free accounts though.

I used to get everything from SourceForge! I was a young kid and had no idea what I was doing tho lol :D

You think it sucks because you're used to GitHub's interface. I really dislike the github interface after having left it a few years ago. Gitlab's interface is, to me, so much better and a breath of fresh air (even though it might look like the old old Github).

As for forgejo, I agree, once they get functional federation and a good CI (not a shitty Github actions clone), github and Gitlab can really fuck off. Gitlab might become a "competitor" once they have federation, but they only will do that if forgejo takes off sue to federation.

Forgejo/Codeberg is the one that will take over in the coming decade.

This is both wishful thinking, and would reintroduce the same problem anyway (centralization) if it would happen (the codeberg part).

I don't take seriously individuals celebrating a move to self-hosting either. While it may look cool and ideally liberating at first, infrastructure/hosting responsibility has worse bus factors and burnout than actual development (not to mention actual monetary costs). It's safe to assume that any code self-hosted has a high chance of becoming unreachable in 1-3 years (and yes, exceptions exist).

Solutions like radicale don't help with unpopular repos, as you would again get a (hosting) bus factor of 1 (the dev/seeder), if that.

A theoretical solution leveraging an anonymous encrypted distributed storage network for repos would help keeping code alive for a while (after the bus hits). But unpopular content will eventually fizzle out, out of the network.

Multiple congregations of Forgejo (or something similar) communities forming would be cool. But the technology that would help them form one social block with network effects doesn't exist*. And what's proposed here and there (like federation for issues) doesn't cover the code itself. And even if we get far in that direction, instance drama incidents, and attempts at exerting control over "the network" will inescapably appear.

* I don't know if tangled counts. But judging by the amount of love ^😑^ people show the AT protocol, it may as well not exist.

tl;dr: Codeberg will not become GH-big. And if it did, it wouldn't be a good thing. And yet there is no ideal alternative to central forges anyway, not even a theoretical one.

The honey pot lists a dozen randomly generated links that all point back to the honeypot. Then I have a script that runs nightly and if your IP clicked on a honeypot 100 or more times in a day the IP gets blocked. That way people can stumble on it and not get banned.

Looking at the logs I easily get tens of thousands of hits daily by dozens of bots. A few business sites, personal page, hobby page, and my GitHub replacement. Not really a big target. But still a lot of bot traffic.

thank you - the extension doesnt work on mobile

This worked 👆 👏

Installation

Download the latest release by xpi-file from GitFlic, go to downloads and install the add-on (or drag it from your file-manager anywhere on a page/tab in Firefox).

No source code whatsoever. Thanks but no thanks.

I dont use firefox, and im on mobile, so i dont think that would work for me. Thanks anw though

But isn't codeberg only for OSS? I imagine most companies won't be able to migrate to codeberg for that reason.

Yeah, it's not like Microsoft has a different platform they want to push instead, unless you want code in Microsoft Word.

It's middle managers getting their cost cutting efficiency in the log before moving up to destroy something else on a bigger scale.

I also use CodeFloe. While smaller, they have fewer guidelines around what is allowed to be there. While Codeberg is generally okay with people putting small private repos there, I don't feel comfortable using what I view as a public resource for my private stuff.

Ew!

Yeah if you need enterprise features, it gets expensive quickly, but the free tier for small projects is all right.

One thing that's slowly becoming annoying is the change in mentality when deciding what feature is available in the free tier: in the beginning, I think the idea was that a feature started in the paid tier, and then, if it could be useful to everyone, it was available in the free tier after a short period. I think it's slowly shifting, some features like scoped labels, a feature existing for years, is still a premium feature. I'm not entirely trusting the business behind GitLab for stuff like that.
