What a useless gesture. It’s git code. So long as it remains on one machine, you can upload it to any git instance.
No one should be surprised though that GitLab is protecting their business.
It was an anonymous DMCA takedown with spelling mistakes, they’re just being extra careful. Plus Suyu isn’t going anywhere, it’s run by junior devs with 0 experience. Sudachi is run by one guy and he’s made more tangible progress, just for reference.
Now I need to consider Gitea and Codeberg. Thanks for the reminder GitLab.
They’re required to take down content following a DMCA takedown request. It’s up to the uploader to counterclaim if they’re so inclined, at which point they’re able to put it back up.
Don’t use Gitea, use Forgejo - it’s a hard fork of Gitea after Gitea became a for-profit venture (and started gating their features behind a paywall).
Codeberg has switched to Forgejo as well.
Also, there’s some promising progress being made towards ActivityPub federation in Forgejo! Imagine a world where you can comment on issues and send/receive pull requests on other people’s projects, all from the comfort of a small homeserver.
I mean, if you’re going to scream “I’m doing this!” as loud as you can, it’s not a surprise when you get noticed.
That was the intention. Even the name Suyu is to bring more eyes
Just torrented it out of spite. I don’t even care about the system…I own one and I don’t play it because they got the A and B buttons backwards (that’s a joke)
Edit: also, everyone should see this.
Not too surprising but still disappointing regardless. Self-hosting is the only way to go for this.
Another, even better way is IPFS.
Regulators can take down your self hosted site. They cannot take it down if everyone has a piece of it (IPFS).
Works just like torrents do. Spread it out, and no one can stop it.
Still selfhosted, kind of, but by everyone.
Why TF would you put it on gitlab instead of hosting your own forejo instance?
I swear, some people are just too eager to get in headlines rather than thinking things through.
They did. https://git.suyu.dev/suyu/suyu
