This is just the start, but a big milestone.

It is time to call it a day, but what a productive day it was. I was able to boot a FreeBSD VM on a Github action, which is itself a Ubuntu VM. The FreeBSD VM was assigned an IP, it has sshd running, and is ready to use.

Migrating #Dillo from GitHub to our self-hosted server.

I wrote a post about the current situation with #GitHub and how we ended up self-hosting our own infrastructure to be robust against data loss. We now store all important data (including issues) in git repositories which are replicated accross #Codeberg and #Sourcehut.

@Erpel because the spammers are assholes?

• I wished @Codeberg had some #AI #bot / #blocklist feature to flatout block #spammers and #bots cuz given the fact that #GitHub refuses to allow blocking #Copilot, this may be the straw to move the projects over there if I can't be assed to #SelfHost and merely abude GitHub as a #CDN!

• Which I certainly would intent…

While procrastinating something, I noticed a wave of script kiddie traffic with a browser ID string matching a Github hosted "security scanning" project, but one without contact info. #github #security #scriptkiddies

Should I

Just a periodic reminder that Forgejo, the software that powers the open-source GitHub alternative Codeberg, has been working towards implementing federation.

Might be worth contributing, if you have the time and skills!

#forgejo #codeberg #opensource #github

I'm running Forgejo in a container now to isolate SSH access, but I also had it installed directly for some time.

This is what I use now, after #selfhosting Apache SVN, Perforce, Tuleap, RhodeCode, Phorge and Gitea so far.
