Moving to Codeberg

I have migrated all my source codes from GitHub to Codeberg.

Codeberg is a community-driven software development platform operated by Codeberg e.V., a non-profit association based in Berlin, Germany. I am a supporting member of this association. The platform is based on Forgejo, a Gitea fork.

Three of my projects remain fully mirrored on GitHub:

You can continue to open issues and pull requests there. All my other projects are now archived on GitHub, and the development takes place on Codeberg.

You can also log in via GitHub and GitLab there, so you should have no problem with continuing to send me bug reports and pull requests. You don't need a separate account to do this.

I did not make the decision to move to Codeberg lightly. There are two main thoughts that made me do it.

  1. The recent history of the former Twitter platform showed me how fragile a social network can be when it is under the control of a commercial company. I deliberately chose the federated platform Mastodon as my new home because it is not owned and operated by a single company. As a non-profit association, Codeberg is also owned by the community.

  2. I am deeply concerned about the recent events in the US following the inauguration of Donald Trump. Therefore, I want to reduce my dependence on US-based commercial platforms as much as possible. I prefer to act in time rather than having to react when it's too late.

Cilla source code released

Finally, after almost three years of development, I have published the source code of Cilla. Cilla is the software that runs this blog.

I started working on a new blog software on June 3, 2009. It should replace my old home page made with PHP. I decided to write an own blog software in Java, as there was no open source Java blog software that suited my needs. However I never expected that this project would grow that huge. The core modules alone consist of 27,000 lines of code in 295 classes.

The core modules of Cilla are now available on my development site shredzone.org. The source code is published on GitHub. The documentation, a few plugins, and a simple example web frontend are still missing. I will publish them later.
