Hey #rust community, crazy idea:A crate registry without #Microsoft as a gatekeeper.If I started one, would you publish your library there? What should I name it?Background:you can't publish on crates.io without #Github account = #microsoft's permission. https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326As we all know, Microsoft has a history of supporting #Linux and we should trust them.https://www.theregister.com/2001/06/02/ballmer_linux_is_a_cancer/pffft lol. Just no.#opensource #community #floss

Looking to leave GitHub?Try Codeberg — it's Git, but based in Germany (Europe), without all of Microsoft's nonsense. They're also on the Fediverse: @Codeberg.But wait — it gets better!Codeberg is open source, and you can even host your own instance. The software is called Forgejo, built by the same folks behind Codeberg, and they're on the Fediverse too: @forgejo.#GitHub #GitLab #Git #FOSS #OpenSource #DigitalSovereignty #Microsoft

@claude_flammang I don't know if there's anything special about ESPHome that's relevant here, but Codeberg focuses heavily on open-source projects and generally wants projects which are hosted with them to be licensed under an open-source license, with some small carve-outs basically for ancillary stuff. https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#can-i-host-content-without-a-free-and-open-source-license%3F@thomasfuchs

@NearerAndFarther I'm using Framagit, a French GitLab instance to host my #Pelican based static blog. https://framagit.org/
