Oh sorry, I might have misunderstood your question. Yes, Codeberg is centralised, but it is registered at a public e.V. in Germany making it more open (not a company).

But then you could use what they use, Forgejo to self host.

Or Gittea as suggested by somebody else.

Codeberg, I can recommend

I mean, still what is significant? It seems you see the Napoleonic wars as such. Considering involvement of countries, the Crimean war had 4 great and 2 minor powers involved and lasted for 3 years. Granted the Crimean war was shorter and had less than the 6 great powers involved as were during the different coalition wars, with 1/4 the of the dead, but politically it was very significant and certainly not small nor regional in its effects.

That is factually incorrect, there have been many wars between the 1815 and 1914 that would qualify.

See the Crimean war 1853 or the German-French war 1870. With two or more great powers involved.

Or what is your definition?

The distinction you make is fair. What I meant by active is as you describe “operating a vehicle”, pedestrians are active participants as well, but you arguably are more likely to cause harm when misusing vehicles than on foot.

I was generally speaking about cities where most of these fines/sentences happend. In rural areas it is harder in many countries, although bare extreme mountainous parts, Japan is generally OK here as well.

Though I believe in these parts you are not only less likely to cause harm when drunk driving + police is less likely to stop you as well.

Generally speaking, it is always possible to either plan well enough to be able not to operate a vehicle drunk, or to simply don’t drink if the former isn’t possible. Don’t you agree?

I gave Germany as an example, but this is the case for many countries. Japan, Germany, UK, some regions of Australia, etc.

Not really, same in Germany if you are generally drunk in traffic (except by foot or public transport, i.e. an active participant) the same sober laws apply. So the incentive is not to do that when drunk. Also believe me when you lose your driving license completely you will care if you need it, and even if you don’t, fines hurt, too.

Japan is even harsher as you can go to prison directly, and if you are in their court system once (that is after only a fine or simple suspension) due to customs and cultural norms you will be found guilty with a chance of about 99 % (the Japanese court system is notoriously bad).

Alternatives to escalating by using a car can bet walking or taking the metro, the latter is easily possible in Japan, for instance. When the trains don’t run there are plenty cheap manga cafes or capsule hotels.
