Due to changes in #Forgejo that we have recently taken advantage of, #SourceHut is now properly synced and is now up to date! Furthermore, we also accept patches via SourceHut over email (we have this whole time, but now it should be easier), so feel free to send one over! Just make sure they target the audacity-3.7-rebase branch!

I spent some time earlier in the week with my laptop running on #IPv6 only while running some tests.
Very interesting to note which websites are still reachable.
chaos.social codeberg.org
sr.ht gitlab.org github.com debian.org abc.net.au bbc.co.uk
I was surprised that #SourceHut failed, as IPv6 support was added a while back, so I did some digging (literally - I used dig).
sr.ht is missing IPv6 glue records. Important, but easy to overlook if you run your own nameservers.
My git forges accounts:
#radiostudent #gitlab (selfhosted)
KDE gitlab,
#kompot #forgejo (selfhosted)
#codeberg forgejo
#github for work (#giveUpGithub)
#sourcehut (didn't pay but I 
that project )
I had #bitbucket but lost credentials (I don't even miss). There are probably some uknown unknowns as well. Can't w8 for forge federation.
If you read today that #SourceHut is moving to Europe, know that it’s not a new thing. See this blog entry from 2022: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2022-10-31-tos-update-cryptocurrency/
Drew DeVault bravely flees the land of the free for #Europe, obviously to avoid US innovation taxes. 
Meanwhile, his #SourceHut update reads like a patchwork quilt of #boredom that even a robot couldn't digest.

SourceHut moves business operations from US to Europe
As I have been looking for a new home for my OSS projects, I've landed on #Sourcehut, an indie developer platform I've been following for some years.
Sourcehut has a lot going for it - 100% open source, funded by members, you don't need an account to open an issue or start a discussion.
I do think the design of the platform is a little too intimidating to be welcoming to non-technical users. I am worried it may put some people off.
Anyone else considering moving off of github? Discuss?
Why is your open source project still hosted on GitHub?

Seriously, we need to talk about your #github addiction!

Here’s a short tutorial to #sourcehut but there are many others ethical forges, like #codeberg

May be of interest to #PocketViewer and #BASIC fans:
I imported the Mercurial repo #OWBasic into a Git repo on #Sourcehut:
https://git.sr.ht/~raingloom/owbasic
I would like to upload the code to https://storyseedlibrary.org/ Solarpunk art library publicly and accept Pull Requests with any suggestions / submissions people have.
The repository is roughly ~200 MB, can grow up to ~500 in the future.
What would be the best platform to do it, balancing Solarpunk's #floss philosophy with user-friendliness?

I don't think centralization can be avoided completely. Or LLMs.
However, by using the services of #SourceHut or #Codeberg, I believe, one acts rather than says: "I trust you. I support you. Fight this fight for me. I'm too small/busy/specialized, but you can do it! I care."
That's why I struggle with these lovely open source alternatives my original question is about. What these projects care about? What's their added value?
LLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut | sr_ht status
｢ SourceHut continues to face disruptions due to aggressive LLM crawlers. We are continuously working to deploy mitigations. We have deployed a number of mitigations which are keeping the problem contained for now. However, some of our mitigations may impact end-users ｣
status.sr.htLLM crawlers continue to DDoS SourceHut | sr.ht statusWe have deployed Anubis to git.sr.ht.
After some internal discussions we have ultimately decided that the best course
of action to protect git.sr.ht from LLM crawlers is to deploy Anubis. This
software presents some users with a proof-of-work challenge which is solved by
the user’s browser with JavaScript.
This challenge is automatically bypassed for logged-in users. If your browser
does not support JavaScript (or you do not wish to enable it for any other
reason), log in at meta.sr.ht to circumvent it.
FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies.

LLM scrapers are taking down FOSS projects' infrastructure, and it's getting worse.
github offers pull requests
gitlab offres merge requests
Lists of both can be exported for backup in json with simple curl requests
What does #sourcehut offer ?
#git forges
Except srht others use #ai tbw

Thanks for sharing @sarahjamielewis, great to see more work being done on independent code-forging. Have you given any consideration to interoperation with other forges? Eg implementing @forgefed along with @forgejo and others who are working on that. Or using Git's inbuilt features to interop with SourceHut instances.

@kerravonsen Yes it's great to have multiple alternatives to #GitHub. My primary git hosting is my home network, secondary is #SourceHut (US/EU) which is retro and minimalist, but I see many projects now starting/moving to @Codeberg (EU). @forgejo is the self-hostable software that powers Codeberg.
