It’s time to consider leaving GitHub. The community aspect no longer truly outweighs the harm of feeding the corporations models.

Self-hosting Forgejo is easy and free. #selfhosting

@ironicbadger
And essay to Schedule sync with public git, eg. Codeberg.

@ironicbadger is the CI as easy to replace than the git hosting part ?

[ironicbadger@techhub.social]

@slash yep! I just did a video for Tailscale about it but if you can self-host anything, it's easy enough.

@alf149@social.data.coop @ironicbadger@techhub.social yup I've got a codeberg mirror for a key personal repo just in case something explodes my stack between that and offsite backups I could (very painfully) rebuild ...

[caseyliss@mastodon.social]

@ironicbadger I don’t particularly disagree with your thesis here, but genuine question: I consider GIthub to be — in part — an offsite backup. Does that not give you the willies, if you’re hosting in-home?

(This is leaving aside the obvious answer of “host on Hetzner then, you worry wart”)

[ironicbadger@techhub.social]

@caseyliss kind of.... but with git having local copies of everything anyway it's not too hard to have one on your laptop, one in a vm somewhere, another on a desktop, and so on. In fact, now I think about it my source code is likely one of the _most_ backed up things I have!

[caseyliss@mastodon.social]

@ironicbadger Hah! Touché!

Though I would posit that this is true only if your devices are regularly doing `pull`s.

I don’t mean to “️ well actually ️” you; this is something I’ve been kicking around myself and haven’t come to a conclusion about.
