#forgefed — Public Fediverse posts

I have been using GitHub (https://github.com/steinbring) for a long time, and I have been seeing a lot of people dunking on it lately (e.g., https://mitchellh.com/writing/ghostty-leaving-github) because of its many failings. I don't think that something like Codeberg (https://codeberg.org) or Bitbucket (https://bitbucket.org) is the answer because there is still a central point of failure and hosting bills to pay. I like the fact that things like ForgeFed (https://forgefed.org) and tangled (https://tangled.org) exist to at least federate comms.

I really don't know what the answer is.

okies, decided, today's the day... gonna start moving my repositories to codeberg... notabug.org's too consistently inconsistently available. n_n a little sad. mmmmmmuch fondness for notabug.org. ... i wonder, if i leave the repository off the end of the url in codeberg's migration tool... does it allow migrating everything in one go? :3

or should i skip codeberg, and go full forgejo? :)

MINI RANT TIME.... #openSource is the hashtag to use when bending over and want to serve the #corporateState.... it could probably be labelled, #openWide or #openSeason, take ur pick.

#FOSS is the hashtag to use when you care about #freedom. Some other good ones are #Libre and #copyleft

#github is the microshaft platform to use when u want OpenSeason on ur software. If yuo do FOSS on #griftHub ur work will be stolen by #microshaft and handed over to the corporates, using the excuse, "the 'AI' stole it".

If u are using GriftHub, u are part of the problem, either due to ur #ignorance, or malevolence. This includes the #bitcoin ppl.

Gitlab is also quite nasty as it requires javascript to browse a repository, and its official service (gitlab.com) is via cloudflare, Avoid using for anything other than backup/#collateralFreedom.

Please look in #forgejo and #forgeFed and other types of forges /END RANT

Is the recent #Fediverse #spam wave over? We hope so. Thanks to all #instanceAdmins for cleaning this up.

What can we learn from this? Some thoughts regarding #ForgeFederation: https://blog.codeberg.org/what-we-can-learn-from-the-fediverse-spam-for-codeberg.html

@christiansilvermooon
You say CloudGlare is a "security company" we say it is a "MITM attack on the internet" or a "protection racket".

Tomato, tomato, right? #useI2P

MicroShaft GitHub is centralising development, exclusive, does evil including decriminates based on national identity, deanonymises, steals code from people, trains AI, and generally should not exist.

Git-issue sounds interesting thanks. We wonder how #ForgeFed is doing, too.

Has anyone successfully setup #BTCPayServer to federate over #I2P network, rather than than Tor?

From this resource it would appear not:

While on the topic of #federated systems, aren't #bitcoiners embarrassed that they're on the invasive #MSGitHub platform? This question extends to #fedizens who list the #MicroShaft forge prominently in their bio.

The sooner we use alternative #forges day-to-day, or move to something like #ForgeFed the better.

@itsfoss

We should move away from github and here is why: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/

As far as I understand publishing docker images should also be possible woth gitea, forgejo and codeberg. I haven’t tried myself.

https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/packages/container/

Forgejo is a “soft” fork of Gitea with a focus on scaling, federation and privacy under the umbrella of codeberg.

https://forgejo.org/

Those popular projects that do want to self host might want to use a CDN to reduce costs.

Codeberg and sr.ht are alternatives for those who do not want to self-host. I am not sure if it is easy to use sr.ht for publishing docker images.

Towards a federated future for software forges.

NLnet supports the ForgeFed project and forgejo is implementing their protocol. https://nlnet.nl/project/ForgeFed-RPC/

ForgeFed is a federation protocol for software forges and code collaboration tools for the software development lifecycle and ecosystem. ForgeFed is an ActivityPub extension.

@MarkusEicher

Yes, our pubic launch announcement is imminent, basically coinciding with this next #Gitea release.

Forĝejo will remain a drop in replacement, as we continue to develop out #ActivityPub based #forge #federating capabilities.

You have a great day!

With all the chaos happening in the #twitterverse, it's looking more and more the #fediverse is proving to be a reliable alternative. 😎

There's so many instances and types of #ActivityPub implementation to choose from. All interconnected with one another. 🕸️

My most favorite right now has to be the work for #ForgeFed. Making code forges part of the fediverse.

There are a few projects, like Tidelift and Snowdrift.coop, attempting something similar to what Colin describes, and he references some of them in footnotes. But he seems to think the funding pools need to be tied into the forges hosting the code. Something for the ForgeFed folks to consider.

#ShowerThoughts: the MVP for federated code forges is the ability to login to a new forge as a guest, using your account on your home forge. Obviously that would need to use something like OpenID that sends you back to your own forge to login, rather than expecting you to give your login credentials to the new forge. There would need to be a name and logo (ForgeFed?) that could sit alongside (or ideally replace) the 'login with GH/ GL' logos presently in use.

#GitLab is shutting down it's #GitHost.io "single-tenant" hosting service, which means that like the Gitorious shutdown, a bunch of projects are going to be scrambling to find new project hosting, including #GNUsocial and #SnowDrift. We really need #ForgeFed!
