We are currently suffering from another network-level DDoS attack, connectivity via IPv4 is impacted.

If you are able to use IPv6 you should be able to have good connectivity to Codeberg.

We are currently working on a DDoS mitigation solution for the IPv4 route.

@ika If you have an example of far-left attacks on Codeberg, please let us know to abuse@codeberg.org.

We have finally reached a somewhat stable level of operation. In the past hours, we managed to partially restore service, but mostly managed to do so only for a subset of our users (due to DNS propagation delays and IPv6 vs IPv4 connectivity differences).

Currentely, Codeberg is available for all the situations we monitor for, and we expect that most connectivity issues will be resolved soon after all DNS caches clear.

We appreciate all the love and support we receive from you, thank you so much.

However, the sad story is, that this day was a massive disruption for most people who develop software on a serious level on Codeberg, from large Free/libre software projects to companies and freelancers, and we are sorry about this.

We acknowledge if this makes you want to move elsewhere, but we're of course happy about everyone who can stay ❤️.

Bad news: DDoS has followed to the new location.
Good news: There, we have at least basic DDoS protection.
Bad news: The server is still unreachable.

We have received first numbers. The DDoS is apparently about 11Gbit/s over UDP traffic currently.

🔔 Heads-Up: Notification emails generated today won't be sent. If you require someone's attention, please ping them again. If you tried to register, please sign in and re-send your activation email (or re-register your account in case it was pruned due to the pending activation).

We were still struggling with email delivery from Forgejo. It looks like some queues are corrupted and restoring them is very hard. Most queued messages are spam or registration emails with already expired tokens. Finally, we made the decision to reset the queue and will do that in a few minutes.

We are using the opportunity to switch the queues to #redict / #redis, which was a planned project anyway (a requirement for clustering our Forgejo to multiple instances).

The majority of you that visited our booth at #FOSDEM2025 asked us about federation, especially after a talk by the @conservancy that gave Codeberg and Forgejo a shoutout. (Thanks!)

As we were not always able to give in-depth answers in person (there were lots of people!), we would like to highlight the following talk by @meissa: "Show and Tell: Federation at Forgejo"

@SteffoSpieler @forgejo nope, but the appearance was close enough :D

We are currently suffering from a network-level DDoS attack. Or maybe just a single actor. Anyway, our downlink is jammed.

@normplum
We have learned that nuances between far-right and right-wing differ a lot between culture and country. However, one thing is clear: We won't tolerate discrimination of any kind. And most arguments I have read today that say "right-wing is an acceptable position" argue for parties that are involved in discrimination of trans humans and immigrants, and spread an idea of women from the terrible past.

It doesn't matter how it is called. It's clear what we don't want.

@schaueho Yes, we'll likely limit this. Implementation seems to be a little more tricky, though, based on a first glance.

@badushka There was a spam campaign targeting repositories containing information for marginalized folk with slurs. They tagged many accounts so as to cause as much disruption as possible, and the issues/comments they left were sent to peoples' email inboxes as email notifications.

Please excuse the brevity, there is a _lot_ happening right now. ~n

@RiptideAtlantic Most likely because we have tried to protect projects and users from previous campaigns already.

We stay strong against hate and hatred, and in response to the recent abuse campaign on our platform, we have renewed our commitment to fight for a better world. We apologize to everyone who was greeted with an abusive message this morning.

Read about the recent incident and our position on our blog: https://blog.codeberg.org/we-stay-strong-against-hate-and-hatred.html

Thanks to all your kind words of support, this is much appreciated. #StaySafe

@badnetmask At Codeberg, we have set the ghcr.io/catthehacker/ubuntu:act-22.04 image by default, which has quite some tools built-in (not sure if it covers your needs).
