<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> The Monero code repository archive on Gitea is currently under construction.

<jpk68:matrix.org> It seems to work for me

<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> wait

<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> @ofrnxmr: try now

<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> The Gitea server has relatively poor performance, and not all repositories have been finished. Please wait.

<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> @jpk68:matrix.org: try to sign up please

<jpk68:matrix.org> I'm fine, thanks :)

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Wen librejo revival

<321bob321> Yest part of CCS requirement

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: when everyone remotely related to progresql get murdered I'll think about it.

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> is it the only backend option for forgejo?

<syntheticbird> no there is also sqlite, mariadb and mysql

<syntheticbird> so basically the only other option is sqlite

<jpk68:matrix.org> If only we could just set up mirrors on the GitLab

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @jpk68:matrix.org: why would we do that

<jpk68:matrix.org> For the same purpose as having a Forgejo instance?

<jpk68:matrix.org> I am not the only one who gets banned/restricted from GitHub

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> ew

<jpk68:matrix.org> Could be used for submitting issues, PRs, etc.

<jpk68:matrix.org> I mean, GitLab is pretty heavy

<jpk68:matrix.org> Forgejo might be better

<jpk68:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: To what? GitLab?

<syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: It is

<syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: "Please go on our open source github alternative, written in fucking RUBY with ZERO feature unless you PAY" - Statement dreamed up by the utterly deranged

<syntheticbird> now tbf. Gitea wasn't a thing when getmonero gitlab was set up

<jpk68:matrix.org> I was just going to mention the whole Gitea thing

<jpk68:matrix.org> Didn't they force charging for the CI or something? I can't remember

<syntheticbird> Gitea?

<syntheticbird> afaik Gitea action is free to self host

<syntheticbird> and people were always using woodpecker CI anyway

<jpk68:matrix.org> My bad, probably thinking of something different

<jpk68:matrix.org> I wonder how many years would it take for core to switch to Forgejo, haha

<syntheticbird> I swear, all it takes is a yes

<jpk68:matrix.org> Realistically there is zero chance GitHub is going to get any better, let's be real here

<jpk68:matrix.org> Tor project had to switch to self-hosted, and it apparently hasn't gone too badly

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @jpk68:matrix.org: Its getting worse

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> All of their ai slop "improvements" are crippling the experience

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Maybe its just because is m$. They tend to ruin everything they touch anyway

<jpk68:matrix.org> True, yeah, but I mean in terms of censorship

<jpk68:matrix.org> I don't think that's necessarily the reason I got banned, but still, they're pretty antagonistic towards anyone who wants to use Tor or proxies

<jpk68:matrix.org> Requiring phone number verification to contribute to an anonymity-focused project is perhaps not very ideal

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Again, i ezclusively use tor

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> its provably cuz youre a new nym using tor

<jpk68:matrix.org> I didn't even use Tor

<jpk68:matrix.org> I was on a resedential IP, using Ungoogled Chromium, and a real phone number

<jpk68:matrix.org> Meanwhile, AI sloppers like Mr. Nakamura seem to get a free pass

<agorise:matrix.org> i love forgejo, we use it exclusively for a couple years now > <@jpk68:matrix.org> I wonder how many years would it take for core to switch to Forgejo, haha

<agorise:matrix.org> #fuKYC

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Element is reallt strugglibg to send messages. Switching to schildi next

<jpk68:matrix.org> Desktop or mobile? Nheko is pretty good

<jpk68:matrix.org> and isn't an Electron app

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> I think they just leav heavily on AI to do everything for them, and it flags a lot of new accounts, while missing bots

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Maybe they dont like your phone number. I'd never give them such a thing > <@jpk68:matrix.org> I was on a resedential IP, using Ungoogled Chromium, and a real phone number

<jpk68:matrix.org> It wasn't my actual real phone number; it was a legit burner

<jpk68:matrix.org> Anyways I'm sure you're right about the AI thing

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Mobile > <@jpk68:matrix.org> Desktop or mobile? Nheko is pretty good

<syntheticbird> With librejo I added github oauth2 and I think having all the monero source code on a forgejo instance with proper CI setup and githu oauth2 is the ideal solution to this. > <@jpk68:matrix.org> Requiring phone number verification to contribute to an anonymity-focused project is perhaps not very ideal

<syntheticbird> but hey it costs money and someone core trusts needs to maintain it

<jpk68:matrix.org> As long as you aren't forced to use GH's OAuth

<jpk68:matrix.org> @syntheticbird: Probably would cost less than GitLab because of less memory usage

<jpk68:matrix.org> Like crates.io >:(

<jpk68:matrix.org> (they require GitHub auth)

<syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: In a proper CI setup, the CI/CD virtual machines are not running on the same machine as forgejo. For security reasons

<syntheticbird> and since you expect it to be fast, the price for VPS goes up very rapidly

<syntheticbird> I am talking no joke 300€ per month

<jpk68:matrix.org> For the time being it might be better to keep CI on GitHub and just have the mirrors for PRs

<jpk68:matrix.org> Wouldn't be too expensive and it's not like we can't afford it anyways

<syntheticbird> the experience would be crippled tho.

<jpk68:matrix.org> Yeah, fair point
