now that I got CI working on codeberg, I'm ready to proceed with moving Leiningen off github for #giveupgithub

I've opened an issue here to gather feedback from the community; please chime in if you're a Leiningen user and you have thoughts about where to move: https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/issues/2800

@technomancy @codeberg Does your list of projects ever end? I'd known you as Cool Mastodon Dude for weeks before learning you ran Fennel, then several more months before I learned you were behind the Atreus keyboard, and I've now been following you for over a year, possibly years plural, before learning you did Leiningen

This is like the Russian Stacking Doll of code productivity and smash hit projects

@conservancy holy god damn i wish the whole emacs community development ecosystem would ditch github

Gratis resources often entice & trap FOSS developers into a proprietary gated community — the walled garden of @GitHub. Remember: FOSS faced similar before — triumphantly. We'll do so again if take action now to protect our communities.

We call on people in positions of power in their FOSS communities to stop using GitHub and stop recommending it. GitHub, as a proprietary, trade-secret platform cannot be the singular development community for FOSS projects.

@conservancy i can say moving from github to codeberg was very painless! The gitea migration tools are excellent

@thamesynne I think the Catholic Church might be consistently "pro-life" as in being against the death penalty, but the U.S.A. political attitudes are set up in a way that it's hard to see coherency...

The Org I migrated was the old #Chrysalis development organization, before it was rewritten in JavaScript and moved to keyboardio.

The issue tracker has some interesting gems, such as:

• macro editing support: This was opened 5 years ago. Implemented in Chrysalis in May 2022.
• First time user guide: Still missing.
• "We need a logo": 5 years later, we're still using the temporary one, and it's kinda official now.

Organization migrated too, and only 22 repositories left. I'll tackle those some other day.

From 114 repos down to 22 in a couple of hours, I'll call that a success.

#Gitea's GitHub migration support is very, very, very nice.

Oh dear, the amount of junk I have on GitHub is astonishing.

@algernon Just a personal note here, I don't like links to stop working, it happened so many times and I do not enjoy it... a pointer to the new place is the least bad thing I can think on...

I will be moving my personal repositories from GitHub to my own Gitea instance. I just need to figure out a reasonable strategy...

I mean, I have a lot of repos on GitHub, a lot (about half of them) archived, never to be resurrected. Do I move them to my main account on Gitea, or to an archive account?

What do I do about repos that are obsolete, but are linked to from elsewhere? I can update my own links, sure, but what about links in packages? Do I add a README?

Of all the things Microsoft controls why can’t the position of Fn vs. Ctrl be one of them?

I'm definitely not the first person to make this joke

i wonder whether spinning Oklahoma's resumption of executions as "US state resumes program of human sacrifice" would make people think twice about casually supporting it?

The most insecure place in the world? A hacker paradise? 😂

@Truck Oof, yeah time zones are a whole other mess! My company recently got acquired by a company whose main office is 10 hours ahead of where my team is, and they work Sunday-Thursday...so not only do we have zero workday overlap, their workweek ends before our Thursday begins! It's been a bit of an adjustment 😅

Today is the day to #GiveUpGitHub
