I will be affected. I think I will take a serious look at sourcehut[1] now. I get a good vibe, but the bus factor scared me away before. [1] https://hg.sr.ht/

- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agoDon't worry, in the event of my untimely demise there are trusted people with access to the servers to pick up the mantle.
- vnorilo 7y agoSir, I wish you long life and godspeed, but my threat model includes acquihire and lost interest ;) However, I keep talking how we need to avoid monocultures, so I guess it is about time I assume some minor risk.
- Sir_Cmpwn 7y agohttps://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md https://man.sr.ht/billing-faq.md Sourcehut has accepted no external funding and once the alpha period ends, all accounts must be paid. Even with optional payment, it already turns a profit. I'm pretty confident in the sustainability of the service. As for me losing interest, the good news is that I need software hosting no matter what I'm working on, so I'll always be working on it. And, since it's open source and patches are welcome, so could you add anything you need.
- bjoli 7y agoYou just got another paid user. I am very much in the amateur hacker camp, so I might not add much revenue. Anyway, thanks for sourcehut. Mercurial is my preferred way. I have managed to shoot myself in the foot so many times with git that I just gave up on it and since it is my hobby I don't want to spend much time with git.
