 Today is the last day to apply for the fellowship for maintainers, our new program that will pay #FOSS maintainers for a year to work on the important work of critical software infrastructure. For the pilot year, we're looking for up to 5 fellows, with freelance contract and employment options. Submit your application by the end of the day: Sunday, 20 Oct 2024! Boosts appreciated! Details: https://www.sovereigntechfund.de/news/apply-to-the-fellowship-for-maintainers #GetFediHired Forgejo v9.0, which we'll (hopefully!) start using in a few hours, ships with a new quota feature for public and shared Forgejo instances! We explained what this change will mean for you, the user (as well as some background information), in a new announcement titled "More power for you - what a storage quota will bring". https://blog.codeberg.org/more-power-for-you-what-a-storage-quota-will-bring.html TL;DR: We'll eventually starting enforcing a quota to curb abuse (e.g. people creating repositories full of empty commits taking up more than a GB), nothing drastic will happen immediately, and you will be able to request more space if you do need it. Don't panic, everything will be fine! (Feel free to ask us questions if you have any.)  @Codeberg Is there somewhere you can look up how much storage you are currently using ? (I have a few docker images in the packages storage used in CI jobs, that get updated a lot on dependency updates. I think I configured the auto-deletion of old versions correctly, but with those muti-arch images it's hard to know if it's working 100% correctly) Codeberg has two downtimes scheduled in the next two days, upgrading #Forgejo to the latest version as well as operation on our owned hardware. See the notification at https://status.codeberg.eu/status/codeberg for more and up-to-date information. Thank you for your understanding. We'll try to minimize service disruption. Sun 2024-10-20, starting around 16.00 UTC / 18.00 CEST: We're preparing for and updating Forgejo to version 9 which will probably involve a brief period of downtime in best case. I have used a 2D library called gg to make the clock render more quickly and with less CPU load. It is still far from perfect and has the wrong DPI on a mac. But I put it on #Codeberg none the less. So anyone, who is interested, may have a look. In other news, I'll share something that you may have missed: @forgejo ships with a couple of theme variants for the colorblind: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/pulls/1746 These are also available on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/user/settings/appearance @Codeberg I guess it just broke because your imprint is still on the "old" TMG instead of the brandnew "DMG" as are 90% of all the other sites in the country. While @Codeberg is working on fixing the outage, you can get Forgejo container images and binaries from an alternate location: https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/-/packages/container/forgejo/versions Hi. Yes, we have a full outage right now (https://status.codeberg.eu). This acknowledgment comes from the social media manager that _isn't_ a system administrator. I can't share more details right now, so all I have to say is the following for now: It has been a weird and challenging week, sorry for the inconvenience. ~n EDIT: We're back for now. :)

 @Codeberg hello social media manager that isnβt a sysadmin. Another social media manager that isnβt an admin here π. Sorry to hear you are going through this. Let us know if our team can help in any way with the situation. Comrades, the #Guix Science channels have moved from GitHub to Codeberg π Migration was very easy and complete, with pull requests migrated without loss. We have yet to see how contributors can resume work on PRs opened pre-migration, but it looks great so far!

 @forgejo Soon available on Alpine! https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/73605  @forgejo This confuses me a little... Why does v9 seem to have an overall shorter LTS than v7? For those wondering why Codeberg is slow right now: βGitHub took down the XX repository due to "Excessive Bandwidth Usageβ. Welcome to Codeberg. Feel free to move on. But thank you for the stresstest.

Just to clarify our stance: We're happy to accept large free/libre software projects migrating to Codeberg. This can even happen in a hurry. And we're ready to help with the migration as good as possible. But to reiterate: Hosting proprietary content on Codeberg is not allowed. Thanks. @Codeberg You folks really post the most confusing updates π Between this and the naming thing I just have no idea what is being said

You might have guessed it already: We are struggling with excessive crawling today. We have - again - blocked several large IP ranges, but were not yet able to identify the new actor. We are working on restoring service availability and fine-tuning our rate-limiting. If someone is interested in implementing an improved native rate-limiting in #Forgejo that also protects other instances from abusive crawlers, please reach out π

 @Codeberg Any chance you put some honeypot paths in robots.txt that trigger fail2ban against any requestors? @Codeberg It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be. #opensource #freesoftware #gamedev https://blog.minetest.net/2024/10/13/Introducing-Our-New-Name/

@Minetest https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results/?domain=luanti Today is the 2nd and last day of the #Codeberg #translathon. A hackathon, but for translations. I have submitted my 3 game projects #Repixture, #Lazarr! and #Glitch. To my surprise, Spanish got translated very fast for Lazarr! π And I also contributed a bit to other games like #HurryCurry or #Librerama. If you want to help with translating my own game projects, I hang out in this Matrix room tonight to answer questions: German translator meeting starting in our #translathon meeting room at https://lecture.senfcall.de/ott-78d-3o5-z9o The other scheduled times for today: 14.00 - 17.00 UTC: Knitting our Internet https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/translathon-2024/issues/10 16.00 - 18.00 UTC: #Veloren translation session https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/translathon-2024/issues/11 One of your favorite alternatives to one of Microsoft's most popular products will probably change its name over the next 24 hours. We're super excited about it. Stay tuned!

 Oops, sorry for the confusion! We were actually talking about Luanti (formerly known as Minetest)! We wish the @Minetest team all the best with its rebranding effort: https://blog.minetest.net/2024/10/13/Introducing-Our-New-Name/ For better or worse, we will stick to our established names for Codeberg and Forgejo. Thanks to all the contributions for our #Translathon so far. You can help with software #localization into your language, making it accessible to a wider range of users. Check out https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/translathon-2024/ for more details on how to participate, or join the first scheduled meetups later today, starting at 14.00 UTC. If you can, consider spreading the word and advocating for software translation outside of the free/libre tech bubble. Getting started with software localization can be easy, get started here: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/translathon-2024/#for-translators I might be interested, but translate.codeberg.org is literally unreadable due to low color contrast. π€¦ I'm not changing my browser or theme because the site has terrible dark/light mode coding. If you need help with your #Weblate setup, join the #translathon meeting room now. See https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/translathon-2024/ for all details.  @Codeberg |

@sovtechfund If only the maintenance of LibrePlan (https://www.libreplan.dev) would be possible I would submit an application in a heartbeat.
