Publication about the monopoly of GitHub and the fact developers should move elsewhere if they care about their freeedom and the freedom of FLOSS projects
Definitely codeberg.org
I just use GitLab.com and mirror relevant repos to GitHub for job and portfolio purposes.
Last time I checked, GitLab wasn’t GDPR compliant. CodeBerg is better - and even better is to use many small sites or even self-host stuff.
This will be overcome some day, but the black hole destroying international cooperation that has appeared in the US will keep us busy for some years - and it is important to harden projects as well as communities against it.
Yeah, I might consider CodeBerg but why use many small sites?
Decentralization.
Where is a good place to move? Preferably in Europe and non-profit.
I’ve been slowly working on a set of decoupled services that could replace some aspects of GitHub.
https://pr.pico.sh/ — a pastebin supercharged for git collaboration.
https://pgit.pico.sh/ — static site generator for git repos.
Both are still WIP but I think they are pretty handy
Codeberg
Yeah Codeberg looks great and is both European and non-profit.
There is also Forgejo and Radicle that might be worth looking at!
Just a small note: Forgejo is the software, while Codeberg is both the umbrella organization developing Forgejo and a large public instance of it at codeberg.org.
Oh thanks, I’ve learned something thanks to you. I knew there was a link between the two but didn’t know what.
