Moving from GitHub to Codeberg, for lazy people - Markus Unterwaditzer

Lazy has nothing to do with it, codeberg simply doesn't work.

Most of my friends who use codeberg are staunch cloudflare-opponents, but cloudflare is what keeps Gitlab alive. Fact of life is that they're being attacked non-stop, and need some sort of DDoS filter.

Codeberg has that anubis thing now I guess? But they still have downtime, and the worst thing ever for me as a developer is having the urge to code and not being able to access my remote. That is what murders the impression of a product like codeberg.

Sorry, just being frank. I want all competitors to large monopolies to succeed, but I also want to be able to do my job/passion.

OP is about Github. Have you seen the Github uptime monitor? It’s at 90% [1] for the last 90 days. I use both Codeberg and Github a lot and Github has, by far, more problems than Codeberg. Sometimes I notice slowdowns on Codeberg, but that’s it.

The Missing GitHub Status Page

Historical GitHub uptime reconstructed from archived status data.

To be fair, Github has several magnitudes higher of users running on it than Codeberg. I'm also a Codeberg user, but I don't think anyone has seen a Forgejo/Gitea instance working at the scale of Github yet.
