Hello Codeberg

[…] I can't believe I didn't considered to move out from GitHub earlier.

Despite my local offline Forgejo instance being almost 2 years old,

it happened that only today I'm moving to Codeberg!

Testing out some alternatives I decided to remain in Codeberg because of Forgejo, which is competent alternative for:

• SourceHut which doesn't render Org (and asciicasts).
• GitLab which is heavy for a mere Raspberry.

The first impression was like if I was entering my own house for the first time after living years in a annoying hostel.

And the workflows runners being disabled for new users, forcing you to ask was nicer than I expected. Then I recalled this saying from Jordan Peterson in his book:

Benjamin Franklin once suggested that a newcomer to a neighbourhood ask a new neighbour to do him or her a favour, citing an old maxim: He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another than he whom you yourself have obliged.

In Franklin's opinion, asking someone for something (not too extreme, obviously) was the most useful and immediate invitation to social interaction.
