We are nowhere near fine. The country is being run by incompetent sycophants in thrall to a criminal who is musing about committing crimes against humanity on social media. He's using his own private paramilitary to terrorize anyone he dislikes all while gutting any institutions that may constrain him, working to subvert voting, destroying the economy for anyone that isn't already obscenely rich, destroying the climate at an accelerated rate, gutting international relations, destroying alliances. Congress enables him instead of checking him, as does the Supreme Court.

Orban is every bit as vile as the present US administration (and they spend a fair bit of time fawning over him).

Me as well. Calling it painful would be overstating it, but it's not pleasant.

I couldn't book travel at a previous company because my address included a `.`, which passed their validation. Awful, awful software. I wouldn't expect slop code to improve it.

Don't install these apps unless you absolutely have to. If you absolutely have to install them, uninstall them as soon as you're done using them.

I put most of my apps into freezer (Realme phone) so they run only in foreground. Apparently my mobile operator uses their app to prevent sharing my mobile into a Wifi hotspot, my food delivery app pretended to be Amazon having an issue with a package etc.

I keep most things inaccessible behind Tailscale. For any public things I 403 known crawlers when they access anything but robots.txt.

Hopefully it goes better for them than it has for GitHub.

hope in one hand and do something in the other to see which one fills up faster. hoping is always a strained good idea, but hoping on Azure really strains credulity

If you hope for a hand full of do, you win(doze?)

But increases credibility?

I've been using a self-hosted forgejo (which Codeberg uses and maintains) instance for all of my non-work projects and it's been great. I don't miss GitHub at all. I also keep it accessible only from Tailscale so that AI crawlers and such can speedily make their way into the sun.

I have moved to self-host Forgejo a few years ago and I can also highly recommend. It's working great. I have posted a tutorial [1] (verified last month that it still works), and recently moved from Hetzner to 2 Raspberry Pi's for hosting the server and the runner [2]. It's great. Really rock solid. Has been more reliable and faster than GitHub.

Yes, this.

I was self hosting gitlab for a long time. But forgejo is an order of magnitude less resource intensive.

It is a single very small go binary. You can use sqlite or postgres. But you can easily run it inside a small docker container on your local machine.

And it is fun to hack on it because it is so open. You build really fun workflows that are blocked by the corporate limits of Github.

Same. I installed Forgejo two months ago when Github wouldn't let me create agent accounts. It's been awesome. Any time I want a new feature I open my agent on the server and tell it to add the feature to Forgejo. Took all of 15 minutes for it to add a working Show/Hide "Viewed" files on the PR reviews.

You mean you upstream those changes or are you running your own fork?

Same - also installed a forgejo runner via docker so i've got CI. Forgejo has it's own artifactory/registry so the apps I make get a docker image and I just run that docker image. All on my own hardware.

Same, I've been enjoying it a ton. Recently, with the help of Claude, I've used it to set up an entire CI/CD pipeline for my home server. The flow is roughly:

Build Nix config into a VM image => Deploy VM to Proxmox via its API => Spin up Docker stack via Komodo

I've also trying to use it to sync my Obsidian vault via git to my phone, altho that flaked out on me recently (if anyone knows a reliable way to use git via the shell on iOS, please let me know).

Same! I've also recently exposed mine to the internet through a fly.io proxy, though. So far, no issues, but I'm keeping a close eye.

I did the same a few months ago when I read that multiple big OSS Linux projects were moving to it and it's been phenomenal so far.

I went with gitea, but for the same general reasons. I like It has the option to mirror repos up to GitHub for the stuff I actually want to share with the world. Is there anything that made you choose forgejo specifically? I’m not eager to move platforms, but I know there’s more options that have popped up in the years since I first stood up my gitea instance.

Same, Gitea (in Docker) has been running very smoothly for years. Havent had a single issue.

Also now wondering about differences with forgejo.

ICE is a relatively new creation and DHS itself is a massive organizational Frankenstein's monster. Both can and should be dissolved.
