Most unfortunate... 😞
stony kark@nixCraft@mastodon.social welp, I guess today is the day I start moving my repos to codeberg

It always amazed me that all these free and open source projects decide to host everything on a proprietary page like GitHub - even before Microsoft acquisition ... not to mention to stick to it after.
Why not self host code repositories with GitLab/Gitea or something similar?
@nixCraft@mastodon.social Looks like it's time to search for alternatives... I have a backup on Codeberg, but I'll miss Github's pages and Actions
nixCraft 🐧Once upon a time, SourceForge was a leader in FLOSS code hosting. It lost the battle to GitHub and others. Now GitHub is part of a bigger corporation with a questionable history. I guess history repeats itself. This is why FLOSS folks should build its own core infrastructure with 0 dependencies on big tech.
Maybe good folks from the EU can provide grants. I don't know, and I don't have answers to all the questions, nor can I (or anyone) predict the future.
