As we have received a bunch of questions on the matter: If you'd like to explore machine learning and AI in the context of free and libre software (perhaps from a less commercialized perspective), you're absolutely welcome to use Codeberg.

We explicitly welcome researchers and solutions that are built more ethically. In general, we also love software that doesn't take lots of resources to run! As nuance can get lost fast, feel free to just ask us if you have any questions or concerns!

If Codeberg is trying to "compete" against GitHub and GitLab, why does it refuse to take a look at AI assistants? Apart from infringing on authors' rights and questionable output quality, we think that the current hype wave led by major companies will leave a climate disaster in its wake: https://disconnect.blog/generative-ai-is-a-climate-disaster/

Other _sustainable_ (and cheaper!) ways for increasing efficiency in software development exist: In-project communication, powerful automation pipelines and reducing boilerplate.

If there was malicious code in a legitimate project hosted on #codeberg, would we remove access to it, including for security researchers?

Short: No!

We are considering how to prevent fetching malicious code by accident, though.

In any case, we are open to collaborating with security researchers. Interested? Help us build a malware hunting team: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Contributing/issues/44

Background: #GitHub locked access to source code of xz, which was background of active investigation from the community.

Can you help #translate #Codeberg's user interface into more languages? Consider joining the #localization team of #Forgejo and review or provide translations for your native language.

We saw #malware uploads to Codeberg increase in the past weeks. Although our users are likely not the target audience of these files, we still want to remind you:

Watch out and stay secured. Do not run files from untrusted authors.
On Codeberg, double-check the project's legitimacy (e.g. user age, stars / issues / activity) or the source code itself.
Visit the project's homepage and use official download sources.
Never let emails panic you, consider if it's part of a #phishing campaign.

You want to become involved with #Codeberg? Join our first regular contributor meetup, this Thursday at 20.00 CEST, online via BigBlueButton. See https://codeberg.codeberg.page/Events/events/2023/2023-07-13-contributor-meeting/

🔔 Heads-Up: We're deploying Forgejo 1.18 in a few minutes. We expect no unusual downtime.

aaand we're officially migrated from #Gitea to #Forgejo. Nice!

Thanks to @forgejo, it was a pleasure :)

Hi all, sadly, we have to admit that we lost about 1 day of emails.

Yesterday, about this time, changed unix permissions on a config file broke email delivery for the user Gitea runs with.

Today we investigated reports of missing emails from Gitea, and noticed that all emails since then were completely dropped. We are sorry!

Please check your internal notifications, or re-register if you are still waiting for your activation code.

Friendly reminder: Our hackathon-weekend starts tomorrow. https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-hackathon-goes-v2.html

Are you a #GitHub or #GitLab (EE) user? Did you ever try to put your code on the side of liberty?

We might have an offer for you: https://Codeberg.org.

Run by a community-maintained non-profit, and funded by your donations!

Not the place you want to work on? Consider joining our missions by using a like-minded project. Learn about alternatives: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/what-is-codeberg/#alternatives-to-codeberg

Hello from our new home. Nice to see that a #Mastodon migration works quite well.

Thanks to @Anoxinon for hosting us.
