This worries me, i can see the new owners killing the Community edition and/or enshittifying the software to uselessness. Do we have a FOSS alternative that does the whole CI/CD pipeline too?

Gitea and forejo are doing some amazing work

Codeberg, but you have to manually apply for the CI/CD part. Also, Codeberg only allows you to host FOSS projects.

SourceHut is worth checking out. It leans towards minimal aesthetics, but is actually very functional. Granted, the workflow is quite different than other VCS providers, but you may grow into it, like I have :)

SourceHut burns my eyes. Has Drew (or someone to whom he has delegated such things) announced a dark mode yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Dark Reader browser extension or just a userstyle. For me, Dark Reader works very well for sourcehut.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Thanks, but I know browser extensions exist. I was just curious whether it's going to be supported natively.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

No. But, FWIW, Dark Reader, and similar extensions work very well on the site.

BTW, SourceHut now automatically switches to light/dark mode based on your OS settings.

Unless I made a mistake checking it the last time, it’s like Drew saw your comment and took it personally xD

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Haha... Maybe he keeps tabs on the fediverse?

It doesn't work with Resist Fingerprinting mode (which hides OS settings), and doesn't have a manual toggle that I can see, but does now have a @media(prefers-color-scheme:dark) clause in its CSS. That's a step in the right direction. :)

Thanks for the tip!

Why not fork the latest CE?
