@whitequark @dpk bonus points that this DoS attack did not bring down codeberg with it either 😅

#Forgejo federation can't come fast enough for you? Have you ever wished to help out, but specifications are too scary and you don't know where to start?

In that case, I have the perfect task for you (yes, you!): https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9282

@simon @whitequark it's all very chaotic at the moment but i find it all super productive – i work with an awesome team where we're all pretty much agreeing on the problems, thankfully. :)

@whitequark @simon idk people doing codeberg leadership stuff, I'm a member of the presidium. there was a clear expectation that pages is a thing, and the entire situation has been a bit volatile judging by the e. V.-internal thread 😅

@whitequark @simon anyway, personal opinion and all

@whitequark @simon my bad, but lol that's a cool project, i was lowkey pretty stressed that we'd have to find ourselves in a position where we'd be expected to dethrone the other people working on yet another codeberg pages solution 😅

@whitequark @simon not without replacement - the discussion evolved since.

anyway, alternative solutions are good and contribute to a healthier ecosystem, 10/10

The #Codeberg hashtag has many asking about private repositories. Our notifications have _completely_ exploded, and our exposure to feedback from "outside our bubble" have lead to us receiving several signs that we can improve our messaging on, such as this FAQ entry: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-private-repositories%3F

We're working on clarifying our stance. Here's a work-in-progress pull request that we are working on in real time to clarify what our stance is: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Documentation/pulls/660

[Update: Merged, + a makeover]

@ryanc I didn't take "this project broke GitHub" as literally as I should've before checking it out.

So, I checked the references of the Wikipedia article "link rot", and I decided to click on the first URL to a paper that I saw in the references.

Needless to say, the link did not lead me to a paper:

Please don't crucify me for linking to this, but this experience definitely aligns with what I've seen go on behind the scenes at Codeberg (as well as dozens upon dozens of other self-hosted software forges) lately.

my approach to working on super ambitious projects is "please do not ask me how that works or whether i can explain how this works..."

"i just crafted a magnum opus with the help of a lot of caffeine and just immediately discarded it from my brain because of the trauma" :D

Life is short and I'm here to have fun and meet new people. I use this account exclusively to share things I think about, things I work on, things I create, things I care about, as well as (very) silly posts.

I may be too young to be a full-time serious person, but definitely too old to segregate different aspects of me. And definitely too disorganized to keep portfolios.

I post frequently in private and my social media presence may not be your cup of tea. You have been warned. ✨

@libreleah Thanks, Leah!

@libreleah As you've been on Codeberg for a bit, I might as well check in: Any room for improvement on our end? ^^

@domi HEY, WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT IF WE HAD AN OPEN-SO—

noot noot

@HauntedOwlbear Hi, sorry, this isn't applicable to this case, it was intended to be a more general parody of open-source software as well as make the joke more surreal by creating a direct contradiction (proprietary + being pro-Stallman).

It wasn't my intend to mislead - I'll edit my post and add a notice if I come across another case of a person getting confused about it.
