So long and thanks for all the fish indeed

And, which is the real Copilot now? Fuck MS and their terrible terrible naming.

Side note, now that GH is in Microsoft “CoreAI” it just feels even more gross than before.

My data is front and foremost the product.

I’ve been self hosting forgejo for a few months and it’s pretty nice plus low maintenance. It does all the stuff I care about. I might have to just make a public instance and figure out how federation works or join codeberg or something.

Here we go...all the grayware GitHub projects are going to be culled

[–] loveknight@programming.dev 22 points 2 days ago

We've been warned. (And unsurprisingly, Roy Schestowitz is being bomarbed by Microsofters with a chain of SLAPP suits.)

Man, I just got my personal website running on GitHub pages last week, and I'm too broke to host it elsewhere and too lazy to host it myself

Cloudflare supports same pages and for free

[–] napkin2020@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

and it's arguably better of a service. CF supports private repo page for free.

Ya wanna host it on my forgejo instance?

I'm about to move it to a kubenetes cluster once my parts come in.

Can't wait for the extra Product Decay

[–] JumpyWombat@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I would not hold my breath considering that GH was already supposed to die in 2018 and we are still predicting its imminent end in 2025.

I wonder how Nixos feels about this

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I mean, it's clearly not really been independent for a good while now

I'm running a self hosted Gitlab instance right now but thinking of switching to Forgejo. Anyone tried both and have thoughts on each?

[–] doeknius_gloek@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I use GitLab at work and Forgejo at home. GitLab is huge, Forgejo is lighter. GitLab Runner is very nice, Woodpecker was a pain to setup but it now does everything I need. GitLab supports subgroups, Forgejo does not. Forgejo is FOSS with a non-profit behind it, GitLab Inc. is for-profit.

At the end, I like to work with both. GitLab has lots of features, but for my own stuff Forgejo serves me very well and I like the openness of it.
