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.
Uptime Kuma is really nice: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Supports all sorts of alerts and can even tell you if it ever looks like your TLS certs will soon expire (if any automation is broken, or you use commercial certs with manual rotation).
"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."
(Yes, I'm aware DDoS attacks are nothing new)
> At around 06:00 UTC on January 10th [2024], a layer 3 distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack began to target SourceHut’s PHL infrastructure. We routinely deal with and mitigate application layer (layer 7) DDoS attacks, however, a layer 3 attack takes place at a lower level and is not within our ability to mitigate without the assistance of our network provider.
:D
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?
Edit: Funny enough GitLab is down 9% in pre-market and near all-time lows.
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.
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.
Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech :)
I don't care for Zig at all, and had never heard of Codeberg, they are now solidified in my mind aha
