Delighted to hear this! I’m working towards purging as many applications as I can that are hosted on GitHub and ffmpeg is one I use regularly.

Ditching a tool for another one because of where the source code is currently stored on? That sounds a little like the people's liberation army vs. the the liberation front of the people.

I mean, you do you, but please try not to use that as an argument when discussing open source in a general audience.

I don't think the general move over to free-er software and less silos is supported by this kind of more outlandish zealotism.

Splitter!

It sounds like they are going to be ripping out a few components from their operating system too. Strange.

Does it mean they will be self hosting it?

Does it alsoean to write a bug report or a fix, I red a new account?

[–] artiman@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

Yes they are self-hosting forgejo the software behind codeberg, for now yes you need an account but forgejo is slowly implementing federation via forgefed like lemmy https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation/src/branch/main/FederationRoadmap.md

Forgejo supports SSO, and from a quick skim of the diff it looks like they support GitHub and OpenID logins.

Still way more annoying than Github. Still, they apparently are moving from an existing mailing list / git send-email "solution", so it is at least a huge step in the right direction.

If they're philosophically against Github I don't know why they didn't just move to Codeberg though. Maybe that's too modern for people who have only just moved on from mailing lists.

[–] artiman@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Codeberg is just hosted forgejo why are you discouraging self-hosting? Using codeberg has nothing to do with modern they use the same server software.

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because if you already have a Codeberg account you don't need to create another account to contribute.

Forgejo is implementing federation via forgefed making an account until then is not that hard when you use a password manager also you can log in with your preferred OpenID provider.

[–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Ah that sounds cool for the future at least.
