They should really self host their own codeberg instance

EDIT: looks like they do now! https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu

that DMCA link is quite the thing

edit: to preserve context, there was previously a DMCA link in the footer. You can see it in archive http://web.archive.org/web/20240322163857/https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu/

They need to move to a P2P model of hosting. Radicle is an open source P2P GitHub replacement. Ideally all open-source development would move to Radicle or a similarly P2P hosted model. If it were made easy enough I would set up an instance to help with hosting on my NAS. These corporations should have no right (or ability) to take down projects that the community has funded and built.

Not a fan of crypto-currencies generally but I would also set up recurring donations to any legit fork of Yuzu that will accept donation via Monero. Fuck these corporations.

GitHub replacement

You mean a code forge? These have existed long before Git & Microsoft GitHub.

I never heard of Radicle but it looks very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I love the idea of Radicle, but it looks like it doesn't support Windows natively, so it seems like a non-starter for now.

Eh, you could use WSL, no?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

sure, it's possible. But for many, likely not convenient.

Why codeberg over forgejo or others?

[–] nix@merv.news 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Codeberg is the forgejo software i just forget how to spell forgejo and i like the name codeberg way more

Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge

As an Esperanto nerd, I love that this and Monero are from Esperanto. Now I want to use it more.

I want this trend of naming distributed stuff after Esperanto names to continue. :)
