That's wrong, first of all it's the central bank that controls money supply, which is independent from the government. In addition, even if the government could magically create all the money it needs to pay its debt, without borrowing more, it would completely devalue the dollar.

Interesting, didn't know that about Bretton-Woods (or probably forgot), thanks for the info!

They say they have their own index, but they also say they send every search request to bing..

How would that work exactly? Trade surplus is just an accounting balance. It's the difference between what US importers paid for German goods and what German importers paid for US goods. The money went to the companies involved, how would it be used to buy gold for the German state?

These cutbacks are completely stupid imho. The EU is undoing decades of good work by jumping on this dumb deregulation band wagon. I guess it was always run by a bunch of neoliberals..

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.

 

The difference between forgejo and codeberg.org is clear. Forgejo is the software and codeberg is the entity that owns it, provides the domain name, etc. and also hosts a public forgejo instance at codeberg.org.

Lately, I've seen that there is also code.forgejo.org, which I assume is run by the same people. Why are there two public instances run by the same organisation? Are users supposed to migrate from one to the other? I see that code.forgejo.org currently has version 11.0 deployed which afaik is not released yet, so is that instance just for testing purposes?
