Got this email last night and felt validated for never uploading any code to GitHub because I don’t trust Microsoft. lol I don’t have any big coding projects, but I self-host a ForgeJo server in my mini rack at home behind a Twingate VPN.

FYI: it is not “ForgeJo”

Forgejo is derived from Esperanto where the “ejo” suffix means “place”. The J is pronounced like y is in English.

It’s “forge-ejo” not “forge-joe”

I live in the smack middle of the South in USA, so my brain automatically says “forge Joe” with the space and everything haha. But I get ya, thank you for explaining!

How is codeberg?

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

It's great. I also self-host my own Forgejo (that's the software Codeberg runs on) instance for private repos, to avoid using up space on Codeberg's servers.

Main problem is the lack of federation, leading to splintering across Codeberg/GitLab/sourcehut/self-hosted forges. I know there's Radicle, and Forgejo is working on ActivityPub integration, but it's slow-moving to get what should be inherently federated by design (git) to actually be federated. In practice you need accounts on a dozen different websites if you want to regularly contribute to foss.

i love codeberg, though i haven’t had a chance to test the collaboration features all that much

Has everything I need, but not more

My god, this is such a positive review these days.
