Yes, Gitea is a hard-fork of Gogs and started years ago. Forgejo is a soft-fork of Gitea when the primary authors of Gitea created a company of the same name to provide paid support (there’s history there you can look up) but Gitea remains free and open source. Forgejo, supported by Codeberg, is a community fork and will upstream to Gitea.

Gitea/Forgejo is a great option, they recently even added build actions which are compatible with Github Actions.



Racknerd.com has their Black Friday deals page still active and I’ve had good experience with their shared hosting and support!


I would recommend Tailscale for connecting to the home network. You could run it on each box if running it on the router is wonky.


Just to clarify the entire Logseq app is open source including the sync mechanism, the server backend to receive the sync endpoint and store the data isn’t. I use Syncthing (FOSS and cross platform) to sync noted between my devices.


The comments here have been the most measured and useful about this topic, glad you got great information that others can benefit from now.



I would recommend looking into Syncthing. I use it on all my devices and share specific folders between devices (notes mostly) and all folders back to the server. The server then backs all that up offsite as well.


After reading that post and the linked github issues, with the latest updates and comments from the last 24 hours. Here’s the TL;DR:

  • This is only relevant if you want to use an email client with Proton Bridge.
  • If you’re just using Proton for encryption and signing (you can use the same PGP outside of proton too) then there is no issue at all.
  • If you want an external tool (like a hardware yubikey) to decrypt your messages that someone else has sent to you using the public key that corresponds to the external tool there will be signature validation shenanigans. This is because Proton expects to be the only entity doing any encryption.This is an important issue for those that need to send encrypted emails (and signatures) with specific keys.
  • It is not an issue for anyone using Proton email for a secure email service even if they want to use an external email client on desktop (like Thunderbird) with Proton Bridge.

Please correct me if I missed something.

Right? The zip ties even have trimmed tails!


Re: port-forwarding, I used traefik as a reverse proxy and that worked well (having a single domain cert instead of per service DNS is another layer but it’s just obfuscation), but it’s always a risk. I finally started using Tailscale after hearing about it for years and it is actually very good and deserves the hype. I had meant to setup wireguard myself but this is a lot easier. And if you don’t want to use tailscale server, you can run headscale (on a cheap VPS?) instead.



Ah gotcha, I’m not the admin. I believe @tyfi@wirebase.org is, maybe they can enable it?




Hey OP, you might want to edit your post and include the matrix link instead. Great work on listening to the feedback and moving over to matrix.


This person is trying to create a self hosting team to work with hosting fedi services, might be a good fit: https://wirebase.org/post/23321

Left a comment there pointing here.


You might be interested to also work with this person’s domain: https://lemmy.world/post/1046078 Putting a similar comment on that thread to point back here.


That’s cool, thanks for sharing. I wish there was a way to plug this as the backend to my android keyboard.


Responding separately to the license bit…

MIT licensed projects (like the libraries, etc.) you’re using allows it to be packaged with products that are governed by other licenses. MIT is a very permissive license and while I’m not advocating for a more restrictive license, I wanted to point that out.

The other point that @Perhyte@lemmy.world pointed out is also a bit confusing about the conditional licensing. Can a commercial entity use this software as a MIT licensed software as long as the flag is set properly? If so, it would be helpful to delineate what functionality is restricted. I haven’t seen conditional licensing based on run time settings before so I can’t speak to that but it would concern me to use it in any commercial endeavor even if I agreed to the business license.

I hope you’re taking these comments in the spirit they’re written, asking for clarification and providing feedback to help and not just a critique aimed at a takedown. Cheers!


Thanks for the reply, being able to see the data collected and then click delete is great. Does Bespoke keep all the data on its server and allows the customer to get aggregated results or does the customer get to download the raw data? If it’s the latter, the delete functionality becomes… less functional.

Unsolicited advice from internet nobody: I think it’s great to allow any kind of transparency in a very opaque industry, thanks for doing that. Since you don’t/can’t control the data usage after collection, I think leaning too hard into transparency and alluding to data sovereignty/privacy (by presenting yourself as an alternative to exploiting user data) might create unrealistic expectations (like it did for me). This is inviting unnecessary critique and distracting from your main message.


Hello Afi, it’s great that you’ve decided to open source your software and want to drive transparency. If you’re willing to share, I have a couple questions.

While it’s great that the data collection can be transparently observed, it’s not just the actual collection that’s problematic. Data ownership, protection, storage, usage, associating with other data sources, creation of personas (accurate or misleading) is concerning.

  • Do you have plans to address those in a transparent manner as well?
  • How about user choice in opting-in to data collection?
  • Or an observable deletion of the data (once collected) upon user request? In all the places the data is shared to?

Lastly, and unrelated, what made you choose an MIT license instead of say AGPL that would better protect your product/company while still being open source? I like the MIT license a lot, just curious.

Wish you the best in your open source journey!


Not what you’re asking for and others have provided a lot of options… but if you still want to support authors and get DRM-free audio books, check out https://libro.fm. It works like Audibe credits and easy to pause and resume membership (more cost effective than buying books retail and you can buy extra credits). They also support a local brick and mortar book store of your choice with your purchase.


Another vote for liberapay! It gives you options to show how much is being donated and gives the user options to be anonymous still.



Uh, say more about this… Do you have to have a Turkish credit card/address?


“all the compiled languages are worse because you get errors before you can even run them” got a good chuckle out of me!


That’s neat. Is the idea that the bot user would enumerate and then subscribe to the communities found through the Lemmy API?


It’s quite a different use case, it’s meant to facilitate wireless transfer between any device through a browser tab without having to have any local software installed first. So think more like sharing full resolution photo to a friend’s device who is connected to the same wifi as you by just both of you opening the same url, snapdrop.net or pairdrop.net (fork with more features) or your own selfhosted url.
