Codeberg is up again! And I got spammed too, does that mean I’m a good FOSS developer? 😳
Yay, I didn’t get spammed! …so the stuff I have on Codeberg is officially stuff nobody but me cares about. (Sadness, or an opportunity?)
if you are on codeberg you are a good FOSS developer
Ok. “I am a good FOSS developer”
who’s a good FOSS developer? you are!
All we need now is a CodeTitanic, to make the story complete.
Reminds me: long ago, one comedy website made a bunch of awards that you could put on your own website with if you didn’t get awards from anyone else. (Having a bunch of random awards was the style of the time.) One of these was the coveted Titanic Navigation Award. I don’t think it can be awarded to anyone any more, as the developers of React have been the most deserving one to receive it in recent years, for their unending efforts in making navigation more confusing for everyone.
Hehe!
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.
True, although it’s nice to have a web UI. And I haven’t tried it myself but there’s Forgejo actions which seems useful if you need it.
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.
So much simpler than gitlab. An executable and a single config file. That’s all there is if you use sqlite as the database.
Gitlab was a farmyard of different things to worry about.
Traditional server-based self-hosting will have lower average uptime, will be easier to attack, and will have a much higher chance of disappearing out of nowhere (bus factor event, or for any other reason).
A decentralized or distributed solution would make more sense as a suggestion here. Radicale (this one) is such an effort I’m aware of, although I never tried it myself or take a look at its architecture.

It’s not a single point of failure at least but if your particular project is targeted then yeah. I was thinking more about using it for private repos, where it isn’t public at all but that’s a separate case.
Hm. Got tagged on a spam post that just says “hi”.
https://codeberg.org/austedan/thisisatest1/issues/45
Ah, I didn’t know you could
@moderationin the conversation.I got tagged in one called “N***er balls”.
Imagine waking up and seeting that email notification.
PS: Picture just to confirm:
NOTE: I have also seen since yesterday that my crowdsec instance has been blocking way more ip’s for bots trying to crawl and shit like that so I think that this all might be a more general uptake in bots and that sites that never really had great protections against it are now taking the fall.
Just from yesterday to today I got over 100k more blocks.
That’s the same one I got.
Got the same message, but from a different issue
It looks like someone is spmming the issue tracker of Codeberg/org with mass mentions
Uptime status may not be representative though.
When I open the dashboard right now it loads the HTML but then only shows a loading icon.
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.
If you’ll examine the last 20 years of history, you’ll find that generally, unfocused and unclear trolling with racist elements is usually sourced from the far right.
