The cost of self-hosting your projects remains gargantuan if you want to do a decent reliable job.

The cost of self-hosting your projects remains gargantuan if you want to do a decent reliable job.
- gmiller123456 8y agoThe vast majority of projects do not require reliability above what can be simply and cheaply achieved. If/once your project gets to the point where reliability is a concern, that's the exact reason you wouldn't want to rely on a free/cheap 3rd party. The case in point is the one I referred to, GIMP had already seen SourceForge as an issue and had abandoned them over two years before the incident. And lots of other projects have taken on the task of hosting their own. However "gargantuan" the task may be, it's still usually a drop in the bucket compared to the overall project.
