Shame on Atlassian that during their last full bitbucket outage took an hour to even acknowledge an issue on their status page, then another full hour until the status page reflected the reality (that it was indeed a complete outage).
Supports all sorts of alerts and can even tell you if it ever looks like your TLS certs will soon expire (if any automation is broken, or you use commercial certs with manual rotation).
"We are currently fighting against a DDoS attack against our service and our status page. We are analyzing network traffic with the help of our ISP at the moment and let you know once we have updates to share."
> At around 06:00 UTC on January 10th [2024], a layer 3 distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack began to target SourceHut’s PHL infrastructure. We routinely deal with and mitigate application layer (layer 7) DDoS attacks, however, a layer 3 attack takes place at a lower level and is not within our ability to mitigate without the assistance of our network provider.
Codeberg has been under DDOS attacks for most of 2025, someone out there has it in for them and has been attacking relentlessly. The volunteer team has been very transparent posting about in social media and their blogs.
I think that even with someone having it out for them, the unfortunate reality of running a web service in 2025 is you have to be prepared to handle this and going down for hours at a time isn’t handling it.
Currently Zig is the second most "stared" project on Codeberg (1443 stars). The first one is forgejo/forgejo (3154 stars) which is powering Codeberg, and the third one is dnkl/foot terminal emulator (1434). (see https://codeberg.org/explore/repos?q=&only_show_relevant=tru...)
It's always interesting to see big and significant projects moving away from major commercial platforms. Could it be a sign of something new on the horizon?
I mean, just disable the AI bloat features in GitHub. I’ve been using GitHub since 2010 (15 years - holy shit I am old) and it’s still the best. I never understood the mass complaining, though I give GitLab credit for building a massive company and taking it public. When GitLab launched I was like, this is going to fail as a business 100%. I was wrong.
Edit: Funny enough GitLab is down 9% in pre-market and near all-time lows.
The issue with Github is that they never denied feeding ai with private repositories. Gitlab, on the contrary, issued an official statement that they don't.
I always like to move as much as possible into the repo itself, 'issues' etc in a TODO, build scripts, or however you want to achieve that, so you can at least carry on uninterrupted when the host is down.
> All users who host projects on SourceHut are expected to pay according to their means. choose the subscription plan most appropriate to your means — there is no difference between the subscriptions besides price.
Interesting approach and asking for some money upfront to cover the actual hosting costs and other stuff feels pretty good - rather than having to worry about shady monetization and about whether your data is the product.
Drew's direct engagement into tech cancel-culture (with targets such as DHH, RMS, Andreas Kling, Jack Dorsey), makes it difficult to do business with him (assuming hosted sourcehut service as an alternative to codeberg). Furthermore, at the newly proposed service rates it is much more liberating to self-host (any lightweight forge–including sourcehut).
I haven't followed closely; but the few times I did, it seemed that he had reasonably nuanced opinions translating into upholdable values, rather than overzealous cancel-fever, whether I agreed with his opinions or not. To me this is not reason enough to not use his product, and I happen to like his product (much more than the alternatives anyway).
Also, it would be remiss of me not to appreciate the irony that you're effectively suggesting "cancelling" his business over his opinions which you consider of a "cancelly" nature ...
It’s an e.V., a German legal construct for public good organizations.
That doesn’t make it impossible to buy it, but all profits from a sale must flow into recognized public good efforts. The incentive to sell for huge sums is just much lower for all people involved.
It is a non-profit association based in Berlin, and its very existence is a protest towards Microsoft and the other big actors in this space. And it is built on Forgejo, an open source project with a strong community around it.
Both Codeberg and sourcehut are good options when escaping the walled gardens of Big Tech :)
Ah, I was wondering about that. Flagging didn't seem like quite the right thing to do, but at the same time I don't see a reason to leave bots hanging around.
Congrats to Codeberg for having a real status page and not a made up one like AWS and many others.
