cgit for tangled knots why not

self-hosted options for git hosting do exist, and they're important now more than ever, with how the internet is trending

Gitea and cgit are two solutions off the top of my head

There is some stuff to be optimised in cgit itself, I think. I set the robot on it and it was able to make some improvements: github.com/nf/cgit/blob...

The change to reduce the work in finding decorations on the commit page seems particularly promising. (github.com/nf/cgit/comm...)

Any single one of those cgit calls can use upwards of 4Gi of ram to answer it. Core OSS infrastructure is built for 2 requests per second at most. Not 200. It has not kept up to scale. The tools need to be fixed to keep up with scale.

Citation: the last 18 months of my life firefighting this.

Looking at the access logs on my web server (because nginx was misbehaving) and most of the traffic is just various AI companies’ scrapers hammering a cgit instance

Yes, Facebook, go ahead and take these 300 versions of the same .c file, I'm sure that will be very useful to you

Someone should definitely make an anonymous cgit renderer that's up to 2010s qps standards, though, agreed.

It's actually a very LLM friendly job, because you can even target HTML byte-equivalence on—ironically—a large example dataset.

i made a tiny git instance :3
( took me 8 hours to debug all the cgit & nginx issues )

cgit, pleroma, prosody, radicale, and an excessive amount of nginx configuration for each

after over a decade of running a cgit instance on my server (to provide public views of a few repos that I didn't want to put on GitHub), I've finally had to turn it off because of scrapers DDoSing my server through it

I hope the slop was worth it, you fuckers

cgit and accept patches by email. apparently people *very much* dislike this workflow for some reason.

I am *begging* people to get off of GitHub *if you can*
Go to Codeberg
Host your own GitLab or Forgejo or cgit or whatever instance
GitHub has just become so slop-encrusted that it's genuinely started to annoy me that so many things depend on it

Also how are all GNU/FSF websites unreachable *again*? One of the most famous software advocacy groups has a worse uptime than my personal cgit instance. Despite both running free software- ah, wait, my Linux kernel probably includes non-free firmware and so they'll think it's tainted~

looking at the access logs for my web server has taught me that running cgit (web-based git viewer) is a great way to waste a lot of resources for scraping bots that i have never heard of

amazonbot wants 5000 copies of the same .c file from 2010? yeah sure, treat yourself queen
