To me it seems more like it's there because it's supposed to be surprising. As if you'd expect such behaviour from others, but not from a CEO. Which is complete bullshit.

Interviewing criminals now are they

What does the fact that the accused is a CEO add to the story?

VPS, I wouldn't run a mail server from my home network. If you go with mailinabox you don't need to set up a proxy, it's pretty simple.

Pretty interesting to see live how quickly a democracy can turn into an autocracy

Thank you for the clarification! I indeed hadn't seen that disclaimer. I'm aware of the other public instances, I was just wondering why codeberg itself would host multiple.

The reason I started noticing this is because I saw projects like https://code.forgejo.org/renovate/renovate which seems to have migrated to https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/forgejo-renovate, but the images are still only available on code.forgejo.org (or is it data.forgejo.org which is used for the image URLs in the repo?). I suppose if code.forgejo.org is for testing only, one also shouldn't pull images from its registry.

Do you have a good tutorial on how to set up CI/CD on forgejo?

Ok, I would have thought they are somehow legally binding nonetheless

How can they just "limit the fines"? Aren't they set by a court?

What more you should ask is precisely that it's not owned privately. Otherwise, soon the next Elmo comes along and buys this one too.

I recommend void. It's rock solid, "stable rolling release", no systemd, amazing package manager. The installation is a bit more "advanced", but I guess coming from Arch that should not be a problem for you.
