Some are asking: why does privacy-focused Organic Maps use GitHub? The largest open-source contributor network, familiar PR & issue workflow, Actions CI, broad integrations, zero infra to maintain, and easy onboarding/discoverability. This lets us focus on improving the app instead of running and maintaining servers. Development time is the most precious resource nowadays, and most of our users don't care where the code is hosted, but care about the app functionality and usability…
Do you care?
In that case, I have the perfect task for you (yes, you!): https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9282
Retejo
I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.
I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.
...
What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽
Well, of course, it supports HTML.
But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

The software powering Codeberg Pages seems like it isn't being maintained anymore beyond minor fixes
№2:
Although Codeberg is pretty reliable, Codeberg Pages doesn't that reliable.

So, I thought — what if I just ran my own web-server to server files from Codeberg.
And thus, Retejo was born.

But, while I am at it, I can also add automatic ActivityPub / ActivityStreams support to it.

Although I've had a Codeberg account for a number of years — I recently started the process of migrating over to Codeberg (from GitHub).
Codeberg has something similar to GitHub Pages — called Codeberg Pages
However —

Loudly shouting at Microsoft to stop forcing "AI" one Github users might lead to some sort of success. Until the next shiny thing comes along.
I took stock, understood what is really happening, that you are accepting to be locked in to a walled garden that you do not control.
So I silently packed up my stuff a while ago and moved to a place and community that accepts, respects and defends my freedom. My repos have moved to #codeberg, I am running my own #forgejo instance and build runners.

Just watched @andypiper's talk from @FrOSCon

Really good talk, good points made and some tricky questions.
Also reminds me I need to move from #github to #codeberg or something else...?
Nice site - https://european-alternatives.eu bit like https://alternativeto.net/ but #EU focused
What #OpenSource and #SelfHost can do. Had an idea, discussed it here. Seemed to rhyme with people. Booked two domains. Created a landing page with #Jekyll and CI/CD from a #git repo on my #Forgejo instance. Created logo with #Inkscape. Added #letsencrypt certificate. Put it on my VPS (Virtual Private Server) running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, (#RHEL) where it is now served with #Nginx. Git repo mirrored to #Codeberg so all can join. In under 8h.
