Gitea
Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD
Project mention: Anonymous GitHub account mass-dropping undisclosed 0-days | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-27I have a correction for CVE-2026-20896 (Gitea trusted-proxies / X-WEBAUTH-USER) was not part of this dump.
It was reported by @rz1027 (me) as in Gitea's coordinated 1.26.3 security release, credited in the release notes. The exploitarium's actual Gitea PoC is a different bug (act_runner container-options escape).

Project mention: GitLab Announces Workforce Reduction and End of Their Credit Values | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-05-11
What would you suggest as an alternative? Gitlab really sucks in my personal opinion, but what are your experiences with:
Gogs https://gogs.io/ (this IS gitea btw)
Forgejo https://forgejo.org/
Self hosted or cloud hosted. Also excluding Github because, please just fracking don't.

Install GitHub CLI and run gh copilot to get AI command help, verify syntax, and simplify GitHub workflows from the shell. It’s a great way to keep working in one place while still getting quick guidance on commands and workflow steps.

Project mention: Building a Local AI Code Reviewer with Ollama That Catches Bugs Before Your Team | dev.to | 2026-06-15
For a hook the whole team shares, use husky instead so it lives in the repo. Either way, every git commit now runs the diff past a local model first. Need to skip it for a quick WIP commit? git commit --no-verify.
-
Many diff tools, such as delta (https://github.com/dandavison/delta) and the ones built into VS Code and IDEs by JetBrains, can configured to highlight changes within each line (by word) and ignore changes to whitespace. Those features save me a lot of time when I review diffs that include indentation changes or variable renames.

That's how GitHub discussion works :- )
Look here: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/discussions/ — by default, sorted by last activity. But you can also sort by newest, or by votes.
For comment threads, look at e.g.: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/discussions/5509?sort=old — sorted by time, by default. But you can also sort by upvotes.
**
The forum software I'm developing, https://www.Talkyard.io, is also threaded, and can sort by time or by votes. (Both discussion topics and replies.)
F.ex. go here: https://forum.talkyard.io/-9qb49/solving-problem-first-comme... and scroll down to the replies section and click `Oldest first` to change order.
In addition to oldest/newest/"best", you can sort top level comments by time descending, and deeper comments by time _ascending_ or by votes — creating a kind of "micro blog feed" where each top level comment is the most recent "micro blog post" — but replies don't have to share the same sort order. "Newest, then popular" and "Newest, then oldest" I call these sort orders.
Anyway. So, there's people who think the hybrid approach you mentioned is an good idea.
