Time to make a move? #GiveUpGitHub
My new blog post is just out #BurgeonLab
https://www.burgeonlab.com/blog/migrate-github-pages-to-sourcehut-bunny/
It's a thorough guide of switching from an automated CI static site deployment workflow using GitHub Pages & GitHub Actions to SourceHut Git and Builds + hosting on Bunny.net Storage & Bunny CDN.
@untitaker @whitequark forge's CI is one of its weak points imho. Both from the design point of view and the infrastructure point of view. The infra will get better as Codeberg grows in _paying_ members.
#Sourcehut's strongest point is their CI. One alternative is to use yojo to host your projects on codeberg but use the CI from sourcehut.
@lontrachen > "also free"?
#GitHub isn't free. We are all paying in so many ways. Microsoft is one of the world's trillion $$$ corporations, and they sure didn't get there by giving stuff away freely!
@Codeberg is a Free alternative for FOSS projects using #Forgejo, based in the EU with a low-cost (optional) membership.
#SourceHut is another libre option with a different approach and low-cost membership.
Both are excellent, and both support #IPv6, unlike GitHub!
Due to changes in #Forgejo that we have recently taken advantage of, #SourceHut is now properly synced and is now up to date! Furthermore, we also accept patches via SourceHut over email (we have this whole time, but now it should be easier), so feel free to send one over! Just make sure they target the audacity-3.7-rebase branch!
I spent some time earlier in the week with my laptop running on #IPv6 only while running some tests.
Very interesting to note which websites are still reachable.
chaos.social
codeberg.org
sr.ht
gitlab.org
github.com
debian.org
abc.net.au
bbc.co.uk
I was surprised that #SourceHut failed, as IPv6 support was added a while back, so I did some digging (literally - I used dig).
sr.ht is missing IPv6 glue records. Important, but easy to overlook if you run your own nameservers.
My git forges accounts:
#radiostudent #gitlab (selfhosted)
KDE gitlab,
#kompot #forgejo (selfhosted)
#codeberg forgejo
#github for work (#giveUpGithub)
#sourcehut (didn't pay but I that project )
I had #bitbucket but lost credentials (I don't even miss). There are probably some uknown unknowns as well. Can't w8 for forge federation.
If you read today that #SourceHut is moving to Europe, know that it’s not a new thing. See this blog entry from 2022: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2022-10-31-tos-update-cryptocurrency/
Or buy the account at #Sourcehut (as I do).
As I have been looking for a new home for my OSS projects, I've landed on #Sourcehut, an indie developer platform I've been following for some years.
Sourcehut has a lot going for it - 100% open source, funded by members, you don't need an account to open an issue or start a discussion.
I do think the design of the platform is a little too intimidating to be welcoming to non-technical users. I am worried it may put some people off.
Anyone else considering moving off of github? Discuss?

two more repos deleted from github and moved to #sourcehut
- https://git.sr.ht/~mvexel/nostalgickr - flickr 2005 interface (experimental)
- https://git.sr.ht/~mvexel/plurk-graph - visualize #plurk activity for you and your friends in a chart (perhaps interesting for the 100 people in the world that still use plurk? It's the only social network I am on besides Mastodon)
Why is your open source project still hosted on GitHub?

Seriously, we need to talk about your #github addiction!

Here’s a short tutorial to #sourcehut but there are many others ethical forges, like #codeberg
