i did some research, and apparently this format is officially called “coolyori”, which sounds like “cool yuri”, which is very based.
also, i’ve ditched imagefilp! i found the original meme on knowyourmeme and cleaned it up a bit using pixelorama and krita (it’s perfectly square now, and the dividing lines are pixel-perfect. i also fixed the background, which was very noisy, since that makes it difficult to recolour).
i got the logos from the wikimedia commons.
I’ve been hosting Forgejo for about 6 months and realized that I have less downtime than Github. Seriously. You know it costs $20 per user per month to be in enterprise Github? Wtf
It’s like Windows. Why the fuck does everyone pay Microsoft for inferior options compared to ones that are literally free? (and libre :3)

the image does look very good :)
Genuinely? I wasn’t sure if it would even be noticable.
yeah :)
Looking sharp!
Thanks :3
Sourcehut FtW!!
I’ve been meaning to check that out. Are their terms of use more flexible than Codeberg regarding commerical/proprietary stuff?
I literally just spent the last 4.5 hours setting up selfhosted forgejo (putting statedir on nfs meant fighting ssh up hill the whole way) behind caddy with cerberus. Worth it tho.
You sound like a wizard to me. I don’t know any of these incantations.
You must ponder your orb.
Well, I do know that a caddy lugs your golf clubs around the course with you and Cerberus is the three headed dog that guards the underworld. So just start from there and we can work the rest out together.
So I’m guessing that “forgejo” thing is guarded by a golf club hauling three headed dog who’s day job is keeping the unerworld.
Yeah… I think “forgejo” will be safe…
Forgejo on yunohost was trivial to me. Kinda just click and host.
fojero yayayayayya mprmrmpmprmpmpr
meeeow gaaay gayyy, do gay be crime, yaaaaa i know thisss hostinggg meoww
Yeah. It’s fantastic. Only thing I wish for is federation, and better project boards, but oh well.
For my “important” stuff, I still push-mirror to Github though… Should probably change that to Codeberg.
Lovely meme upres. Also gitlab is cool too. You can even self-host it, if you’re masochistic enough.
I work with GitLab a lot. I think it’s better for organizations than using GitHub, but my SW Engineer Spidey sense gives me death spiral vibes.
They’ve swallowed the AI Kool-Aid and are redesigning the UI to push their Chatbot on you (disabled by my org fortunately, but I still see it). They are feature creeping the fuck out of their already bloated product and are engineering features specifically to keep lots of usefull stuff behind the paid tiers, which are getting more expensive.
It’s fine for institutional use if you have sane admins, but long-term I 100% bet on Forgejo.
We use gitlab (free) for our organization and have definitely noticed the feature creep. It’s a little worrying, and the software has become quite heavy.
Forgejo is much nicer.
Just realized this is also how I feel about Element.
You can selfhost Forgejo (the backend of Codeberg) as well. I personally don’t like GitLab; it gives me the same “look at us we’re a new walled-garden” vibes that Proton and Mozilla give me. But, to each their own.
Forgejo runs on a shoe box and and is practically maintenance free.
Gitlab very much does not.
I like gitlab as a user but I have to bow to practical considerations.
I think that might be at least somewhat intentional. They’d rahter you pay them than selfhost.
Oh yeah, they don’t have a lot of incentives to clean up the decade old mess of Ruby scripts they are dependent on.
Do you know any good alternatives to Proton for e-mail? Preferably with the option to bring my own address. I’ve heard that self hosting can be a bit of an issue for e-mail…
Been using Migadu for a few years now, never had any issues with them. They are less than 1€/month if you apply for the student discount
Posteo has been really great for me so far. The only thing missing is custom domains, but that’s because of their privacy focus.
edit: whoops someone else already mentioned it
edit: thundermail looks decent-ish. i might be able to get you into the early access program
startmail is really great! some nice features:
- you aren’t limited to their own shitty client, like with proton or tuta
- you can use your own domains
- you don’t need to connect a phone number
- it’s set in netherlands, so eu privacy laws apply (which is nice to have if it’s not your normal)
Not sure if they allow custom domains, but posteo is great. I also heard good things about mailbox.
Posteo does not allow custom domains. I would recommend the mxroute lifetime plan, but I don’t know the ethics etc. of the company(I got mine for around 80€)
Check out infomaniak. Also Swiss.
Tuta is alright
I’ve been hosting my portfolio on codeberg pages (and messing with their new migration thing) but I’ve always been unsure about whether it was compliant with their tos, codeberg only hosts non profit project and my portfolio kind of is an entry point for my freelance stuff
Their FAQ kind of covers this where they talk about private repos (which your homepage doesn’t have to be, but it’s still not particularly useful as an open-source project):
If you are a contributor to free/libre software projects, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Use it for your personal notes, your side project or any other you want to keep private.
And then somewhat further down:
If you do not contribute to free/libre software (or if it is limited to your personal homepage), and we feel like you only abuse Codeberg for storing your commercial projects or media backups, we might get unhappy about that.
https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/?pubDate=20260712#how-about-private-repositories?
Thanks, that’s some good information!
Yep, so far it’s a public repo for the static site output and a duplicate of the original astro template I customized, so I guess in a way I’m somewhat contributing (the template is GPL3) but yeah
That is open-source. Just because it might not be useful to anyone doesn’t change that. Not everything has to be an active community.
