I forgot I had my https://blainsmith.com site hosted at Netlify. I finally got it moved to https://srht.site

#Sydbox is NOT hosted on #Github and this is an ethical decision. Main repository is the #Exherbo #Gitlab, we have mirrors on #Sourcehut and #Codeberg. Having said that, the code is GPL-3 and I can't legally prevent anyone from mirroring it on Github. I can just kindly ask not to...: https://github.com/tamaroning/sydbox/issues/1 #exherbo #linux #security

Dear kind people, I am Ali Polatel, the main author of Sydbox. I want to kindly ask you to remove this repository from Github. There's a reason I don't host code on Github. I don't want my code, my...

@ben There is no #OpenAI or #Anthropic for me any more. There is only Ed #Zitron: https://wheresyoured.at/ Also, I #shitcanned #GitHub for #SourceHut for anything REAL and of OPERATIONAL IMPORTANCE.... but #Codeberg is probably slightly better for its collaborative tools, so I will spin up there too.

@codepo8 I need food and drink. Nobody needs GItHub (or its host, Microsoft). So that's a really bad analogy.

At that time (around 2022) I was using Cloudflare's Warp. And if you tried to use sourcehut back then while using Warp, it would block you, to make a statement about how Cloudflare should not have so much control over the internet and yada yada.

Now, on one hand, I agree with the statement. These days I try to use Cloudflare services as little as possible, especially due to their recent vibe-coded outages.

On the other hand, I find this unprofessional. Even if I agree with the message, this artificial restriction left me with a sour taste. I believe they removed this restriction sometime around 2024.

Besides that, I cooled down to the idea of a minimal git forge. The thing is, if you want really minimal — working over mailing lists like linux kernel etc, you don't need a forge, you can host it yourself (especially since sourcehut doesn't provide a free tier — which I don't blame them for, but worth mentioning).

Git forge should be accessible for as many ppl as possible to contribute to FOSS. PRs are easier to get into than patches over mail. But maybe that's just my opinion.

GitHub alternatives: I'm less educated on evils of github (I'm yet to read stuff that @mogi sent me: https://nogithub.codeberg.page/, https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/)
But I think I know where people are coming from. The 2 big alternatives I've heard of are codeberg and sourcehut (gitlab is rather for corporate use).

Codeberg seems like a solid project that mirrors most of github functionality without the evil parts. I also know that @forgejo (that codeberg uses) works on implementing ActivityPub protocol which is awesome.

Sourcehut on the other hand is more unique, which is why I liked it more at first. But then something rubbed me the wrong way...
