I have sympathy for some of the GitHub complaints. otoh just went to try to signup for Codeberg and it's down ... 95% uptime over the last 2 weeks?

One can always host Forgejo themselves if a service level has to be kept under control. With Github that’s not even an option.

I would even consider that moving everything from one single point of failure to an other is not the brightest move.

Github does offer a self hosted product: GitHub Enterprise Server

There have been complaints about it on Reddit as well. I registered an account recently and to me the annoying thing is the constant "making sure you are not a bot" check. For now I see no reason to migrate, but I do admit Forgejo looks very interesting to self-host.

https://tangled.org/ is building on ATProto

1. use git or jj

2. pull-request like data lives on the network

3. They have a UI, but anyone can also build one and the ecosystem is shared

I've been considering Gerrit for git-codereview, and tangled will be interesting when private data / repos are a thing. Not trying to have multiple git hosts while I wait

I've been self-hosting it for a few years now and can definitely recommend. It has been very reliable. I even have a runner running. Full tutorial at https://huijzer.xyz/posts/55/installing-forgejo-with-a-separ....

I moved (from selfhost gitlab) to forgejo recently, and for my needs it's a lot better, with a lot less hassle. It also seems a lot more performant (again probably because I don't need a lot of the advanced features of gitlab).

I mean, they're battling with DDoS all the time. I follow their account on Mastodon, and they're pretty open about it.

I believe the correct question is "Why they are getting DDoSed this much if they are not something important?"

For anyone who wants to follow: https://social.anoxinon.de/@Codeberg

Even their status page is under attack. Sorry for my French, but WTF?

[exceptione]

Crazy. Who would have an incentive to spend resources on DDoS'ing Codeberg? The only party I can think of would be Github. I know that the normalization of ruthlessness and winner-takes-all mentality made crime mandatory for large parts of the economy, but still cannot wrap my mind around it.

[bit1993]

Part of the problem is that Codeberg/Gitea's API endpoints are well documented and there are bots that scrape for gitea instances. Its similar to running SSH on port 22 or hosting popular PHP forums software, there are always automated attacks by different entities simply because they recognize the API.

[letmetweakit]

That's rough ... it is a bad, bad world out there.

[captainkrtek]

As a customer of GitHub actions, anecdotally feels like Github experiences issues frequently enough to make this not a problem.

[SideburnsOfDoom]

GitHub uptime isn't perfect either. You will notice these outages from time to time if your employer is using it for more than just "store some git repos", e.g. using GHA for builds and deploys, packages etc.

[Daegalus]

Just a reminder, Codeberg is for open source projects only, and maybe some dotfiles and such. Its on their frontpage and in their TOS.

[nrhrjrjrjtntbt]

99.95 from something I use to do work is non negotiable.

[arccy]

you probably wouldn't use it for work anyway, codeberg is for OSS only

[worldsavior]

What? It says it's up for 98.56% for the last 2 weeks.

[qwertox]

That's probably the average. But if Codeberg Translate shines with 99.58%, it is an unnecessary entry which harms the "92.42% Codeberg.org" reality.

[rprend]

Average big tech alternative. Doesn’t solve your problems, doesn’t scale, terrible UX, but at least it’s run by fanatics.

[WolfeReader]

Forgejo does solve my problems, doesn't scale yet (I am really looking forward to ForgeFed), has fine UX, and at least it's run by people who care.

[Sammi]

Because they are Codeberg I'm betting they have a philosophical aversion to using a cloud based ddos protection service like Cloudflare. Sadly the problem is that noone has come up with any other type of solution that actually works.

[everybodyknows]

How well can Cloudflare protect against malicious account creation, where the attackers are set up to supply a response to email?
