Is it 100% confirmed now that the DMCA is from Nintendo themselves? I find it weird that they'd go after (initially small) forks when Ryujinx exists.
The Suyu team also hosts their code under https://git.suyu.dev, so I wouldn't exactly call it dead (yet).
There is no confirmation that this came from Nintendo, nor does it list the actual infringing parts like a normal takedown request should.
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.
Now I need to consider Gitea and Codeberg. Thanks for the reminder GitLab.
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.
ActivityPub integration on git remote repos sounds very interesting. Thanks for sharing that, I'll definetely take a look at Codeberg/Forgejo.
Can't wait for forge federation, it's super annoying that I need an account for each individual instance just to report a bug
What features are paywalled?
From here:
None?
If you need action runners you have to ask for them which is fair as it's expensive.
If you self host it's all free.
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.
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.
Like I said, it's an empty gesture. Unless Nintendo seizes the computers of all the devs, the code will live on and uploading it somewhere is very very easy.
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.
if you put it on gitlab, you're not the one getting sued when they take it down
I am more saying it's not surprising Gitlab would take it down.
For example. With yt-dl /github they immediately went to a self hosted Gitlab instance. It wasn't simply a hasty move to the public Gitlab instance.
For all the free publicity when it gets taken down. They were probably hosting it six different ways already
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.
they got the A and B buttons backward
I can't tell if you're joking or what
I have permanent Xbox brain, so I'd say they made an oopsie daisy even though I grew up on SNES
What is arguably even more egregious is having X/Y backwards. On a graph, X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis. Xbox got it right.
Codeberg next?
They already have their own Forgejo instance at git.suyu.dev
No one wants Nintendo's wrath. Who can blame them.
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.
If someone needs the name of the next fork, I'd suggest "Yutu". (or Ettu)
Still mad it isn't named 2zu
At least it seems suyu has devs now though
So uhhh, what now
another one will rise no doubt, either they use a platform that doesn't care for DMCA's or they play the whack-a-mole game with the enforcers
