I self-host forgejo, it’s one of the easiest systems I self-host.
But which features other than a plain git repo are you looking for? That will mostly determine your options. There are tons of git repos, and even just a plain git repo on a server with an ssh tunnel is enough if you don’t need anything beyond that.
My main goal is to stay independent from big tech and have full control over my data, but I’m still new to programming (2/8 in Software Engineering).
Fun fact: you didn’t have to reinstall; you can actually boot up a live usb and chroot into your install to fix things.
That’s what I tried! But I couldn’t do it! I should have asked for help.
I have my system select the default option really quickly, so I don’t see GRUB. This makes it tempting to not do that, but I think I’ll accept the convenient option instead of the cool option still.
On mine, it’s already set to boot into Arch automatically. It shows in the bottom right corner: “Joining world in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.” It’s really cool, man!
That is kind of awesome.
I wish Debian’s default Grub theme was less ugly; I know I could change it (and I have on other installs, but I’m quite lazy about theming these days. Part of it is I have a laptop that I rely on for college and don’t want to risk any theme glitches, so I keep its Debian install as vanilla as possible.
The first time I tried doing it (alone, without watching the video), I broke the system ;(, had a boot problem, so I had to reinstall everything again.
The background (versions) and the yellow text change with each reboot :D

Yes, codeberg, and it’s going to be decentralized soon when forgejo implements federation
amazing!
Lmao, exactly me!
@fajre @Codeberg ist “a non-profit, community-led organization that helps free and open source projects prosper. Our services include Git hosting (using @forgejo ), Weblate, Woodpecker CI and Pages.”
interesting man, i'll try!
OMG, I didn’t know this site, thanks man!
Brave has already had several leaks and a history of selling data, that’s why I switched to LibreWolf.
No, because the people hiring and the people working with you will be using GitHub.
maybe not! Life isn’t just work.
This is how I do it.
Brief
Imagine if there were 5 clones of twitter, all owned by different companies, but they could all still talk to each other.
So, a person from Twitter could talk to people from threads and bluesky.
Why do it this way?
Each twitter clone could have its own quirks. Like one could have a dislike button where as the rest won’t. If one of the clone owners decides to become a nazi, we can just migrate to another clone. This makes sure power is not concentrated in one place! If the system is open source, you can even start your own version of twitter where you rule!Don’t care about talking to people on twitter!
But you say “I don’t want to have to talk to people from Twitter!”. Well, doing it this way allows you to choose not to do so. (There’s an option to block clones you don’t like!)
What is fediverse?
It’s the network through which all these different but similar apps can talk to each other.
Social media formats like reddit, twitter and Instagram have been replicated for fediverse and available for people to join or create their own version.
Lemmy is a fediverse alternative for reddit, there are 100s of lemmy apps that can talk to each other (or choose not to if they don’t want to). Mastadon is alternative for twitter. And there are more.To get them to join
Join the biggest instance or join any instance! You can figure out what you want specifically later, easy migration allows that!
But if you want You can read about them before joining: Each is focused on different things like privacy, literature, tech, and even gaming.
Fun Extra
Unlike with instagram and twitter and reddit, fediverse apps like mastadon and lemmy can theoretically talk to each other. So you will be able to see your “tweets” with your “reddit feed”.
Notes
Emphasize pain points and incentives like:
being banned for no reason free speech safe spaces like minded people Tighter knit communities Decentralisation, if they’re into some form of socialism or left leaning ideologies.
awesome man, thanks a lot!
Absolutely!
