Yup, after the first series of outages (which were much worse for us in Asia than for companies in the US, because it seemed that nobody at GitHub noticed everything was down until the US woke up) we moved all our code hosting from GitHub to self-hosted Gitea (our CI/CD was already self-hosted with Tekton), and set up mirror repos from GitHub for all our dependencies too.
Before we were losing productivity for an entire day due to GitHub outages, now we only notice because there's a post on HN :)
As for the cost of self-hosting, we already host our own services, Gitea is no more complex than any of those. I wouldn't recommend self-hosting to a company with no backend/ops capability in-house, but for any other company it's fairly obviously a better choice IMO.
