My suggestion, get as many private copies of emulators you can before they go after all the Github ones. Seems to be more and more take-downs are happening lately.

It really is too bad we dont have a federated github alternative. I know theres some projects in development, but I can see the emulator scene getting harder and harder to get into if popular repos go down. Decades of work, gone.

We do have a federated GitHub alternative. Perhaps not too mature yet, but it does indeed exist. Forgejo

I just discovered that this is Codeberg - I've seen a lot of projects there and I had no idea that it was an instance of Forgejo

[–] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 34 minutes ago

Originally, it wasn't. Codeberg used to run Gitea. Forgejo is a fork of that, which came later.

Not really federated. You can't, for example, raise issues or set PR requests from another instance.

Yep its not nearly done....but I have a server and running through testing. git itself is fairly federated, but the support structures (PRs/MRs, review process, easy wiki/issue tracking, etc...) is where the real work is at.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm running as server as well, but have not tested federation (yet).

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nice! Them and gitea are really stable!

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

I thought codeberg was just a really well maintained and customized gitea instance...?

They have been doing so for a while now.
