Shame on Atlassian that during their last full bitbucket outage took an hour to even acknowledge an issue on their status page, then another full hour until the status page reflected the reality (that it was indeed a complete outage).
Currently Zig is the second most "stared" project on Codeberg (1443 stars). The first one is forgejo/forgejo (3154 stars) which is powering Codeberg, and the third one is dnkl/foot terminal emulator (1434). (see https://codeberg.org/explore/repos?q=&only_show_relevant=tru...)
It's always interesting to see big and significant projects moving away from major commercial platforms. Could it be a sign of something new on the horizon?
I mean, just disable the AI bloat features in GitHub. I’ve been using GitHub since 2010 (15 years - holy shit I am old) and it’s still the best. I never understood the mass complaining, though I give GitLab credit for building a massive company and taking it public. When GitLab launched I was like, this is going to fail as a business 100%. I was wrong.
I always like to move as much as possible into the repo itself, 'issues' etc in a TODO, build scripts, or however you want to achieve that, so you can at least carry on uninterrupted when the host is down.
"We are currently fighting against a DDoS attack against our service and our status page. We are analyzing network traffic with the help of our ISP at the moment and let you know once we have updates to share."
Codeberg has been under DDOS attacks for most of 2025, someone out there has it in for them and has been attacking relentlessly. The volunteer team has been very transparent posting about in social media and their blogs.
Drew's direct engagement into tech cancel-culture (with targets such as DHH, RMS, Andreas Kling, Jack Dorsey), makes it difficult to do business with him (assuming hosted sourcehut service as an alternative to codeberg). Furthermore, at the newly proposed service rates it is much more liberating to self-host (any lightweight forge–including sourcehut).
It is a non-profit association based in Berlin, and its very existence is a protest towards Microsoft and the other big actors in this space. And it is built on Forgejo, an open source project with a strong community around it.
Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech :)
It’s an e.V., a German legal construct for public good organizations.
That doesn’t make it impossible to buy it, but all profits from a sale must flow into recognized public good efforts. The incentive to sell for huge sums is just much lower for all people involved.
Ah, I was wondering about that. Flagging didn't seem like quite the right thing to do, but at the same time I don't see a reason to leave bots hanging around.
Congrats to Codeberg for having a real status page and not a made up one like AWS and many others.
A CI that's completely broken and not building anything cannot produce incorrect results.
If it's producing no result at all, you know it's broken, not simply incorrect.
:D

I don't care for Zig at all, and had never heard of Codeberg, they are now solidified in my mind aha

(Yes, I'm aware DDoS attacks are nothing new)

Thanks Gary, I'll use that next time.
