Been moving some stuff from #GitHub to #Codeberg (mostly for stuff I could see getting contributors) and sr.ht ( #sourcehut? almost exclusively for throwaway stuff, as an archive). It's easy when there's not much metadata (primarily issues) to move over.. Still haven't decided how to handle CI though - that's kind blocking me from even getting started on larger projects.

Migrating #Dillo from GitHub to our self-hosted server.
I wrote a post about the current situation with #GitHub and how we ended up self-hosting our own infrastructure to be robust against data loss. We now store all important data (including issues) in git repositories which are replicated accross #Codeberg and #Sourcehut.

So much for the federated merge requests via #ActivityPub.

When I called in https://lwn.net/Articles/963427/ @sir position as the pragmatic one, I was called disingenuous.
(And, BTW, https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9225 doesn’t seem to be finished either).

#GitHub isn't free. We are all paying in so many ways. Microsoft is one of the world's trillion $$$ corporations, and they sure didn't get there by giving stuff away freely! 😃
@Codeberg is a Free alternative for FOSS projects using #Forgejo, based in the EU with a low-cost (optional) membership.
#SourceHut is another libre option with a different approach and low-cost membership.
Both are excellent, and both support #IPv6, unlike GitHub!

I spent some time earlier in the week with my laptop running on #IPv6 only while running some tests.
Very interesting to note which websites are still reachable.
✅ chaos.social
✅ codeberg.org
❌ sr.ht
✅ gitlab.org
❌ github.com
✅ debian.org
❌ abc.net.au
✅ bbc.co.uk
I was surprised that #SourceHut failed, as IPv6 support was added a while back, so I did some digging (literally - I used dig).
sr.ht is missing IPv6 glue records. Important, but easy to overlook if you run your own nameservers.
