@0xabad1dea @ireneista I honestly think it’s mostly just that the Silicon Valley Brain is incapable of not designing a panopticon even if it’s not explicitly trying to make one

I am very surprised that ordering by date is less popular for tags than for branches
Perhaps I should have explained that alphabetical order causes tag orderings like v0.1 < v0.11 < v0.2 < v0.3 …, which is entirely correct if your version numbers behave like decimal fractions and completely wrong if your version numbers behave like lexicographically-sorted series of integers separated by dots
The latter is more popular nowadays, but using ‘natural’ ordering by name then breaks the other case

Isn’t it curious how Apple has brought out its cheapest laptop ever at a time when hardware is otherwise at its most expensive in a long time? It’s an underpowered client for cloud services
Welcome to the future of computing. The ‘thin client’ dream of the 90s is here!

Cloud providers will have identified self-hosting, community-organized services, and digital sovereignty campaigns as a threat, in the same way Microsoft identified free software as a threat in the 1990s and 2000s, and they will want to stamp out that threat. Keeping prices high to make self-hosting uneconomical is one way to do this

The cloud providers and the AI companies are the same companies, and what they have learned is that they can tie up all the high-end hardware for themselves and make it unaffordable for plebs
The hardware companies in turn will be happy to keep prices high even if raw materials are ever more easily available again and demand is (somewhat) lower

Unfortunately I fear the structural failure here is too big for us to save it (we’ll find out some of that later today when the administrator explains the situation to us), but I think everyone loves this company and knows that our prospects elsewhere are currently universally worse, so maybe it’s worth talking about

Moderatorially speaking, we tend to regard accounts with *only* private repos as a red flag (and such people who have accounts like that are usually rejected as active/voting members if they apply). But they’re allowed as long as their size remains reasonable.
The rules are there because unfortunately, we do see blatant abuse of our resources (like people uploading their whole home directory to a private repo as a personal backup).
I think we should work on making our rules about this clearer!

Something else I saw is that our messaging on what private repositories can be used for with us is not clear enough.
To take the opportunity to clarify here:
• Private repositories are absolutely allowed, but subject to rules, just like public repositories are subject to rules
• Using a private repository for a software project that you’re not yet ready to release publically is absolutely okay
• Using a private repository for personal software you wrote for your own use only is absolutely okay

Some other people were concerned about our uptime in comparison to GitHub. Fortunately, GitHub has recently been taking care of that concern for us 😅
My personal feeling, as a user, is that Codeberg’s uptime is acceptable for what the site provides. If you are seriously messed up by your forge maybe being down for an hour or two a week, don’t use Codeberg: self-host!
Fortunately, as a FOSS site, the chance of anything as important as a ‘profit margin’ depending on our uptime is very low :-)

In general, I think Codeberg stands for a future in which people are a lot more suspicious of free goodies given to the FOSS community by for-profit companies.
But it also stands for a world in which self-hosting is not the only practical alternative to the present situation. We stand for community-run infrastructure, volunteering to provide a common good, and making decisions for the benefit of all.

There are a couple of options being explored here:
-
We could maybe offer some things like increased quotas to association members. That has been mentioned before as a possibility but no action towards this has been taken yet afaik.
-
Some interested members of Codeberg have, in their private capacity, been investigating offering e.g. a hosted CI runner service that would have seamless integration with Codeberg.
Nothing solid on either front yet, though.

There are limitations that come with being a non-profit association in Germany.
Something that was mentioned in the thread is why don’t we let people and organizations pay for more resources. One answer – apart from the fact that we’ve only just reached the size where we start to get such requests – is that, under our current legal form, we can’t really do this. A non-profit association cannot offer commercial services.

And I have a positive example for this, too: our Pages service was going to go away because nobody wanted to maintain it any more.
But we asked the community, and they really wanted a Pages service.
So a heroic volunteer (thank you @whitequark) stepped up to write us new infrastructure, and our infra team found the time and motivation to work on patching up the existing infra. And now the future of Codeberg Pages is safe – because the community told us they wanted it.

So no, we don’t offer massive CI resources, unlimited repo quotas, etc.
What we offer is different: if self-hosting isn’t for you, but you still want to know that your repo hosting is not at the whims of Microsoft’s bottom line, Codeberg is for you.
If the Codeberg service you depend on goes away, it won’t be from one day to the next in order to boost our income. We will warn you about the reasons, ask you and the other members what you think, and you’ll have a chance to change things.

Codeberg is different.
Codeberg is a non-profit.
Moreover, it is a *democratic* non-profit. You can (and, if you actively use Codeberg, should) become a member and you will have an equal vote and a fair say in the running of the association, and in any decisions we make about what to offer and what not to offer.
This democratic right is guaranteed to you not only by our constitution, but by German law, which guarantees that the membership as a whole has the ultimate decision-making power.

Microsoft’s shareholders are probably very pleased about this.
But if Microsoft needs to please its shareholders and turn the revenue dial up a bit again (say, because they’ve got themselves tied up in a huge economic bubble, and need to bolster the bottom line after it pops), they might choose to take away some of those free goodies.
In fact, it’s not just a hypothetical – they started doing that just recently. https://web.archive.org/web/20260223084443/https://github.com/resources/insights/2026-pricing-changes-for-github-actions
Those changes are ‘postponed’, but assume they will come.

Microsoft is a for-profit company. They have attracted a lot of projects to them by giving away free goodies, like an immense amount of computing power for CI, and over the years have increased the amount of stuff you get for free. (Not long ago you had to pay for personal private repos …)
By continuously sweetening the deal for smaller users, then getting orgs to pay once they start needing collaboration features, GitHub built up over a billion dollars in revenue per year (as of 2022).

Apart from that, many people listed things that GitHub provides for free which Codeberg doesn’t provide or requires self-hosting for. The biggest one was CI, but there were other things too.
And I think the only way I can respond to that is by talking about the fundamentally different organizational models that GitHub and Codeberg have – not to plead on our smaller size, but to plead on principles.

(If someone’s forge were hosting completely objectionable, hateful content we might choose to turn their OAuth support off. But, for example, you can have as many private and non-free repositories as you like that way. More on that in a bit though …)
(Furthermore, this thread reflects only my own views and not those of the remainder of the Codeberg presidium, board – nor (most importantly) does it reflect the views of the members of Codeberg as a whole, who ultimately make the decisions.)

Forge federation is something we’re actively pushing for because of this. Full federation support is still a few years ahead of us, probably, but you can already set up your own forge in a way that minimizes inconvenience to users by using Codeberg as a single sign-on provider for a self-hosted forge.
https://git.madhouse-project.org/ which hosts the Iocaine project, is a great example of this. If you set up Codeberg as SSO for your own site, almost all of our content rules are irrelevant to you.

We are much more excited by the idea of creating an ecosystem of forges (and different forge software) than in becoming the new one place where absolutely everything is hosted.
I am, for example, very pleased that even while switching to Forgejo, Fedora decided to keep on self-hosting rather than jumping to us.
To be clear, we’re open for everyone who needs us, especially individuals working on their own smaller projects. But other forges are our friends, not our competition

To begin by addressing what seemed to be a misconception underlying a lot of the comments:
Codeberg, the website, does not aim to replace GitHub. We poke fun at their recent foibles in our PR sometimes, but we do not want to become them.
We do not want to replace one single point of failure with another! (Admittedly, I think Codeberg.org, run by a non-profit, as SPOF would be better than GitHub.com, run by Microsoft, as an SPOF, but that’s not the goal!)

There was an article about moving to Codeberg on the orange website yesterday, and out of interest to get an impression of what average programmers think of the idea of moving, I took at look at the comments. (Yeah, I know …)
I’m going to write here my thoughts on a general impression of the comment thread as a whole. (Rather than respond to individuals.)

@libbymiller I think that’s the same one we have! It’s great but as a fairly regular green tea drinker, I wish it had a temperature control

Kernel security bugs are fixed three times faster when fixed by the same person who wrote the bug https://pebblebed.com/blog/kernel-bugs-part2
Applying this result to a world in which devs aren’t the authors of ‘their’ own (slop) code left as an exercise to the reader

@vcfberlin Oder basiert der Ausschluss auf reinem Hörensagen, ohne klaren Bezug auf einer einzelnen Person?

@vcfberlin Dann entweder lügt die Person, oder euer ganzes Awareness-Team ist nicht vertrauenswürdig.
Ich wiederhole folgende Ja-Nein-Fragen, die ihr beantworten könnt, ohne persönliche Infos zu offenbaren:
Stimmt es, dass ‘erle’ ausgeschlossen worden ist? (Das hat sie schon öffentlich behauptet.)
Wenn es stimmt, dass es gegen erle irgendwelche Vorwürfe gibt, die zu einem Ausschluss geführt haben, ist es klar wen sie belästigt/o.ä. haben sollte? Hat das Team mit dieser Person gesprochen? […]

@vcfberlin Es gibt Vorwürfe ggü. einem Mitglied eures Awareness-Teams, dass diese Person selber jemanden belästigt bzw. das Amt im Awareness-Team missbraucht hat, um jemanden aus dem Festival auszuschließen, der sich von dem entsprechenden Teammitglied bedroht fühlt. Könnt ihr euch bitte dazu äußern?
