    I use GitHub private repos for my home configuration stuff. So it’s not open source since I’m the only one using it and I don’t want someone else to know how to attack my network.

    For certain configurations, self hosting doesn’t make sense. For people like me, who would rather spend his time doing the stuff I care about instead of maintaining the stuff I don’t care about, I’m okay giving Microsoft some “control” over my code for the convenience.

    That said, I am thinking about moving my FOSS code off of GitHub since that is an option. I’d have to see their CI/CD pipelines though.

      Just FYI, you can keep personal repositories for configurations and whatnot on Codeberg, check out the FAQ: https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#can-i-host-personal%2C-private-repositories-that-i-do-not-intend-to-publish%3F

      I’d have to see their CI/CD pipelines though.

      Codeberg hasn’t deployed their Actions yet, but the software Gitea and Forgejo both have it, so I believe it will come some time in the near future (don’t know how near though, could probably ask them over on @Codeberg).

      EDIT: not completely true, actions have been ready for a while apparently, but you currently have to provide your own compute: https://docs.codeberg.org/ci/actions/
      Which isn’t ideal, though

      In the meantime you can either use Woodpecker or use another forge like Gitea hosted (has Actions already) or Gitlab with their CI/CD

        Doesn’t appear that you are allowed to host personal code projects though.

          Of course not, that’s the point. I don’t know what their stance on little toy projects kept for yourself is if that’s what you’re asking

            Yes, but you would have to publish them at all.

            I wouldn’t mind publishing my projects except that they are of no use to anyone except me and the code is shit.

              no reason not to publish them as long as they aren’t infringing on any IP, I’ve published some very niche projects
