This AI scrapping war is disgusting
Today, my ingress node was dropping packets because EVERYONE decided to scrape the hell out of my Gitea instance (Forejo soon)
OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon and some other rando were all trying to gather data THEY ALREADY HAD
I really need to configure Anubis at the ingress level...
#homelab #selfhosted #faang #ai #openai #microsoft #amazon #gitea #anubis #kubernetes #ingress #nginx
GitNex 9.0.0 will bring major UI changes, including a switch from the drawer menu to a bottom navigation bar. It's still a work in progress, so things may change before the release hits the stores.
This version will also include support for markdown alerts.

Gitea 1.24.1 is released
We just released Gitea version 1.24.2! This is a quick bug fix release that resolves a Docker push issue present in v1.24.1. https://blog.gitea.com/release-of-1.24.2/
Gitea Authors released #Gitea version 1.24.2. https://gitea.io/
Wrote a minimalistic github action to create pull requests in my local #gitea instance within the workflow. Currently only supports way to less configuration flags but it's working in its minimal form. Available here: https://github.com/deB4SH/tea-pr

Google stops using Pixel phones as reference devices for testing, device trees are missing from Android 16 source code release, making it harder for custom rom devs to port their roms to Pixel devices:

(Google doing their regular "boil the frog" thing... They started with giving Android app devs the option to block sideloading, then they announce to make the development process fully private, only push final releases to AOSP code base, and now this... We desperately need mobile Linux to become an Android replacement! (Although I don't really see that happening any time soon unfortunately.))

There turned out to be more:
Since I removed
/usr/local/bin/gitea
and put
/usr/local/bin/forgejo
but continued working with "inherited" .ssh/authorized_keys from previous gitea, changes had to be made in that file as well. There are lines in the form of
command="/usr/local/bin/gitea --config=/etc/gitea/app.ini serv key-1" ...
where I also had to replace gitea with forgejo.
Now, besides the very server and Web interface, I can push/pull, which is 99% of my usage of (#GitLab => #Gitea =>) #Forgejo
I finally made it, and migrated my #Gitea to #Forgejo 😀
Being on Ubuntu, not Arch Linux (the only dist Forgejo supports in migration instructions), there was a bit of trial and error. Finally, the approach that worked:
- download forgejo10 binary
- start it
- create forgejo user and /var/lib/forgejo
- copy the contents of /etc/gitea/app.ini to /etc/forgejo/app.ini (there is a permission block lurking all the time)
- copy all from /var/lib/gitea to /var/lib/forgejo and chown all to forgejo
So I am self hosting a #gitea instance just for some personal stuff. Nothing fancy. Should I invest the time to migrate this to #forgejo ?
I don't even have any actual gitea specific stuff in there as far as I remember. Basically it's just a mirror of my local code stuff to keep as a backup.... So I guess I could just set up a fresh forgejo and change all my git remote urls to point there and push...
I can see tons of #forgejo, #gitea or #gogs #selfhosted git servers out there in the wild. Which is cool. But I don’t see nearly as much about #softserve by the #charmbracelet peeps: https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve If you are after something small, and TUI is all you need, don’t miss out on this one! You can check the “demo mode” via `ssh git.charm.sh`. You’re welcome ☺️
