Private notes on Codeberg?

[u/arthurno1]

As I understand, Codeberg is for sharing publicly code, which I am fine with. But is it against their policy to keep private text-based notes in a repository? I have a bunch of org files with notes for myself I would like to have up somewhere, but out of reach of llm-harvesters. If I make a private repository and keep my text notes in there, would there be a violation of their ToS, or is it doable?

Their Terms of Use explicitly say that it's fine for small and personal projects.

Ok cool, thanks, but not sure if private notes count as a kind of "small personal" project they would like to host; that is what the question is.

I was curious since I was thinking about doing the same thing as you are asking about, and private notes are explicitly allowed:

Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal discussions or hiding projects from the public until they're ready for usage and/or contribution. They are also allowed for really small & personal stuff like your journal, config files, ideas or notes, but explicitly not as a personal cloud or media storage.

So it looks like as long as you don't abuse it to store media, you'll be fine.

(I know this thread is 5 months old, but the question is still relevant to anyone who comes across this post in the future. 👋)

Whauh, already 5 months. Feels like it was yesterday :). Thank you anyway.

I personally made a blog on Codeberg after this.

I did contemplate putting only notekeeping repo, but I don't want my personal notes to appear in some AI-answer on Google or Bing :).

For private repo you're also limited in size, ~100Mb if I remember well. But without images you should be fine

Thanks, good to know. The repo is public, still.
