    A note to the developers in the project, if anyone is reading: your repositories are in violation of the new Codeberg policy that forbids AI-generated code [1].

      It’d make the most sense for the Dutch government (or DAWO) to have their own Forgejo instance if the goal is data sovereignty.

      edit: looks like this was originally the case and then they moved?

        We can insist everyone self-hosts everything, but is it worth it? Do you have your own email? It&#x27;s quite normal for a government agency to contract a third party to supply e.g. furniture, instead of chopping its own wood.

          But furniture is a one time sale, not an ongoing service. That&#x27;s a bad comparison.

            A third party supplies their electricity too.
