Codeberg is up again! And I got spammed too, does that mean I’m a good FOSS developer? 😳
who’s a good FOSS developer? you are!
if you are on codeberg you are a good FOSS developer
Based on recent news I’m guessing this might be the result of a DDoS attack from the far-right
Before the ddos they were also spamming a certain n-word. Why are far-right groups targeting codeberg anyway?
This is a good argument for self-hosting Forgejo (which is quite simple compared to gitlab from what I hear).
But good to see they are standing up to this shit.
Self hosting git repos can be super minimal. If you don’t have a lot of users or repos, just use ssh. Hell you can host a repo on a local SMB network share eben.
I wish I could upvote this a hundred times.
If you’re not stuck on git, give fossil a try. It’s a distributed source code version control with an integrated bug tracker, wiki, forum, and more. All that in in one 3 MB sized binary.
It can even mirror to GitHub and export/import git repositories.
It’s very easy to host yourself.
Codeberg keeps calling the group the far right. Is there any political motivation or something else here? To me, it just looks like troll behavior. Is there more details about the attacks that I missed?
Its right-wing because of the content and target of the trolling. They’ve said this started as a target harrasent of certain projects.
