Thanks for noting this, our company has been dogfeeding and running a Forgejo instance for over a year by now (we got over 100 customers that we are running on this platform) and are currently creating a self-service hosting solution for a lot of different projects/systems, but other than allowing others to get access to use our self-service we never considered hosting Forgejo for others as Codeberg existed and we weren’t aware of the FOSS only rule.
Feel free to reach out if it’s of interest, I haven’t discussed this in the team but there’s nothing in the way to set up a dedicated Forgejo instance for a company based on our current setup (on our servers, but we can also work with on-premises/other clusters) or letting others access our instance. Since we’re based in Norway everything is hosted on multiple data centers in Finland using Kubernetes with a hybrid architecture of “cloud” and dedicated servers.
Since we use it ourselves we’ve made sure we got as close to 100% uptime/high performance as we can with Forgejo. We also got ACT runners and for login with got a tenant/auth/OIDC system with auditing (for those that need that).
We’ve been working for 5+ years to become independent of external companies, which is why we’re a bit ahead of schedule.
It’s a great way to showcase that these things are in use and will be in use in places with bad privacy laws (and by those that ignore such laws). Most people don’t want to think that this happens on a daily basis, it’s logical for them when you tell them, but they’re busy with their lives and they don’t actually see it being done with their own eyes.
Now tell them how this data is connected to your ticket and your face/video being analyzed after the fact, which is then sold off to become what is basically an quantification of you as a person to judge you and determine what your addictions, views and flaws are, in order to expoit it to make you as miserable as possible. And people won’t really believe it since it’s uncomfortable to believe in. Showing someone’s face makes it more believable and difficult to ignore.
