Got impacted by this. So tired of this AI slop bringing everything down.

I highly doubt there will ever be parity. There will also be some differences where there can be improvements made over GitHub. Right now you only hear about individuals moving over or open source software. This is mainly because they don’t need the enterprise features that GitHub has. I am not sure if you self hosted forgejo if you would get those as well. It’s meant to be free. This is the biggest thing that would be missing. For individuals, I don’t think you’ll notice many differences.

For your second question. It doesn’t matter. What matters is git. There are 2 main ways to access this. SSH and http. All you really need is git. There are other tools out there like gitlab. Gitlab is pretty decent too, but the workflow is a bit different. You can even self host with gitlab too. You may not see many direct integrations to gitlab either, but people have been working with it for years now. There is also bitbucket. I think forgejo has a better chance at succeeding though if it continues to do what it’s doing. Just tailor to the free and open source community. Really the only thing people need to do is create an account and set up some ssh keys. Beyond creating an account, there is no difference in how you clone a repo from GitHub and codeberg. Just copy the URL and do git clone.

TL;DR GitHub and codeberg have different missions. It will be a similar experience and features for individuals or open source projects are close to the same on both platforms. You probably won’t notice much of a difference.

If anything, just get some external drives or something lol. Depending on how much space you are using, you can also look at hetzner. They have storage boxes that are relatively cheap for cloud backups.

You could also use OneDrive or Google, just make sure you encrypt everything. This way they don’t actually have any of your data. It’s just for backups.

I have also been using storj with truenas. You get a discount this way, but storj just introduced new pricing, so I don’t know how that impacts the discount or not

Please tell me you have proper backups for your next cloud instance

Stability? Update management? Window tiling? What? Linux does have all of these things. In fact Linux is way more stable than Windows, has better update management. Mind you, it does depend on the distro and the amount of stability you want, but I have been running Debian servers for years and I hardly run into problems.

The only thing windows offers over Linux is gaming and a better UI. Even both of those are dwindling away. I hate the new windows 11 UI and most games work on Linux unless you require a rootkit for some anti cheat software.

Just use wire guard. This is what tunnels is and this is what tail scale uses

No it’s not. It’s very expensive to run and there are a lot of edge cases. It’s much easier to have regional redundancy for a fraction of the cost.

You have a lot of responses here, but I’ll tell what k8s actually is, since a lot of people seem to get this wrong.

Just like k8s, docker has many tools. Although docker is packaged in a way, that it looks like it’s just 1 tool. This is docker desktop. Under the hood there is docker engine that is really a runtime and image management service and API. You can look at this more if you wanted. There is containerd, runc, cri-o. These were all created so that different implementations can all talk to this API in a standard way and work.

Moving on to k8s. K8s is a way to scale these containers to run in different ways and scale horizontally. There are ways to even scale nodes vertically and horizontally to allow for more or less resources to place these containers on. This means k8s is very event driven and utilizes a lot of APIs to communicate and take action.

You said that you are doing kubectl apply constantly and you say feels wrong. In reality, this is correct. Under the hood you are talking with the k8s control plane and it’s taking that manifest and storing it. Other services are communicating with the control plane to understand what they have to do. In fact you can apply a directory of manifests, so you don’t have to specify each file individually.

Again there are many tools you can use to manage k8s. It is an orchestration system to manage pods and run them. You get to pick what tool you want to use. If you want something you can do from a git repo, you can use something like argocd or flux. This is considered to be gitops and more declarative. If you need a templating implementation, there are many, like helm, json net, and kustomize (although not a full templating language). These can help you define your manifests in a more repeatable and meaningful way, but you can always apply these using the same tools (kubectl, argocd, flux, etc…)

There are many services that can run in k8s that will solve one problem or another and these tools scale themselves, since they mostly all use the same designs that keep scalability in mind. I kept things very simple, but try out vanilla k8s first to understand what is going on. It’s great that you are questioning these things as it shows you understand there is probably something better that you can do. Now you just need to find the tools that are right for you. Ask what you hate or dislike about what you are doing and find a way to solve that and if there are any tools that can help. https://landscape.cncf.io/ is a good place to start to see what tools exist.

Anyway, good luck on your adventure. K8s is an enterprise tool after all and it’s not really meant for something like a home lab. It’s an orchestration system and NOT a platform that you can just start running stuff on without some effort. Getting it up and running is day 1 operations. Managing it and keeping it running is day 2 operations.

I don’t think that’s what they meant. I think they are just saying that people are still buying EVs, but they are just going to Chinese and other manufacturers instead of buying a Tesla. The article specifically calls out the stupid shit Elon has been doing.
