• Codeberg launches Forgejo – Gitea fork

  There was no drama as far as I recall, just complaints that he wasn't agile enough or something like that. The different project is Gogs https://gogs.io/ and its author is Joe Chen ('unknwon:). - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Gitea controversy timeline

  I don't know if anyone remembers but Gitea is a fork of https://gogs.io/. If I've understood correctly they forked because the feeling was that Gogs wasn't a true open source project. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Free self hosted platform like github/bitbucket with jira integration?

• Private or self hosted registry options for composer/php dependencies

  I found Gitlab a bit of a pain to configure, and went instead for a simple docker solution with: GoGs. - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Gitlab Architecture Overview

  My experience with GitLab is that they accelerated very quickly in the beginning with a focus on new features. This made the whole ecosystem incredibly slow, and it's unbearable for me to run as a service on my own hardware / cloud accounts. I guess that's the problem with these open source services that also rely on paid platform income. I have tested out https://gogs.io/ and the difference in speed is just... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Why is Apache clinging to OpenOffice's corpse?

  > I tend to install FOSS because imo they are more "future-proof", but some of them are developed by companies (e.g., Fedora Linux) and that makes me wonder if they're truly future-proof. The story of CentOS should be telling that, no, many pieces of software that are backed by a company will not be future-proof and will probably experience certain changes as a consequence of that, be it being transformed to... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Recommendation for home server

  I have a bunch of containers running like gogs, drone, k3s, postgres, mongodb, docker registry, pypi, NFS and it barely wakes up my machine, only when I compile a raspi kernel using 16 jobs does it finally spin it up some. - Source: Reddit / almost 2 years ago
