A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

codeberg is such an obvious choice, i have no idea why people don't immediately switch from GitHub
They don't allow for private repos, so it's a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.
What? All my codeberg repos are private.

There are terms and conditions for private people too regarding this (read next two sections): https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#before-i-start-using-codeberg
I love codeberg but can't move my private, non-foss repos there. FOSS repos for sure though.
it's very understandable though, and 100MB is a lot of data
it's a lot of code, not a lot of data. If any repo has binary files you'll most likely need to store it somewhere else as there's not even an option to pay that used storage.
Yeah no I'm not complaining about their decision. Quite happy about it! I just comment this in every "github alternative" comment section when codeberg is brought up for the sake of codeberg too because we don't want to flood them with people who would also set up private repos that break their ToS.
I have an account and contribute on Codeberg but keep my private, non FOSS/not-sure-of-license-yet repos somewhere else (currently gitlab).
