The "first hit's free, kid" period is over.
"They" (including GitHub) will have to discourage self-hosting soon so as to keep their users, I wonder if the "software BoM" crap is enough or will there be further efforts that way.
- figmaheart255 4y agoSelf-hosting on a reliable VPS is already $5+ per month. Github/Gitlab could easily undercut that. And frankly, users should start getting used to paying for software, at least it's better than having your data sold out. I'd be willing to pay $2/month to keep all my repos online.
- detaro 4y ago> Gitlab could easily undercut that Of course Gitlab also got rid of the $4 tier last year, making their cheapest price point $19/month/user. If that was still around restrictions on the free tier would seem a lot more reasonable, although I think deleting abandoned stuff is fundamentally bad.
