This is huge, and unfortunately not surprising at all in the age of massive ever-growing out of control tech monopolies that do whatever the fuck they want. Whatever reads in the TOS now, they can and will just reword it when they need it. There's no trust.
Every service and utility gets enshittificated sooner or later, it's a given at the moment. I deleted all my private repos, github and all other MS services should be avoided in the future.
The only solution is to self-host. Gitea is good.
- andsoitis 3y ago> The only solution is to self-host. Gitea is good. I don’t understand your thinking and gitea’s marketing. They say in the same breath that it’s “self-hosting” and that they do “Git hosting… similar to GitHub, BitBucket, and GitLab”. — https://docs.gitea.com/ https://docs.gitea.com/
- Macha 3y agoIt's a "run your own github" application. akin to Github Enterprise Server or Gitlab CE/EE, except unlike Github Enterprise Server and Gitlab EE, it's open source.
- loudambiance 3y agoAs far as I am aware, they do not offer a hosting service. I believe that statement was meant to convey that the Gitea software, once installed is a git host similar to the others. I think they were trying to differentiate between a typical remote git repo and all the web components that come with Gitea. They do offer paid support, but that's still for self hosting.
- codetrotter 3y agoYou install Gitea on a server that you own. You use that instance of Gitea to host your git repositories. That is self-hosted git hosting. Gitea is an open source alternative to GitHub, that you run yourself.
- sureglymop 3y agoDo you have experience with self-hosting Guitea? I am on to fence about going with Gitea because of the recent fork of the project (Forgejo). Seems that many contributors are now contributing mainly to Forgejo.
- indigochill 3y agoThe reason for the fork was that Gitea was going for-profit and the folks that forked to Forgejo felt they went about that transition in a way that eroded trust. Here's their explanation: https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html
- dismalpedigree 3y agoI self host Gitea. Very reliable. Painless setup. I wish it had some sort of CI like github actions or bitbucket pipelines, but otherwise totally happy wit it.
- n3storm 3y agoIt's been added recently. Not sure how they compare.
- v3ss0n 3y agoGitHub actions works in gittea at version 1.19
- KronisLV 3y ago> I wish it had some sort of CI like github actions or bitbucket pipeline I use Gitea with Drone CI and it works pretty well: https://www.drone.io/ https://www.drone.io/ Some might also prefer the Woodpecker CI fork due to the license: https://woodpecker-ci.org/ https://woodpecker-ci.org/ I setup Drone as a part of my migration away from GitLab Omnibus and have no complaints so far: https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-nexus-and-drone https://blog.kronis.dev/articles/goodbye-gitlab-hello-gitea-... Here's the Drone example in particular: https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/moving-from-gitlab-ci-to-drone-ci https://blog.kronis.dev/tutorials/moving-from-gitlab-ci-to-d...
- mhaberl 3y ago> The only solution is to self-host. Gitea is good. Gitea project hosts its code on GitHub: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea. You must admit that is a bit ironic. > age of massive ever-growing out of control tech monopolies that do whatever the fuck they want GitHub is not the only option for source code hosting. There are alternatives like GitLab, Bitbucket, and numerous smaller ones.
- mejutoco 3y agoWhile not an option for everyone, if you have a server with ssh access you can do: git init --bare /path/to/repo.git on the server. Then locally you git clone that repo with a ssh url. It does not have any visual MR or enterprisey features, but it works.
- pmontra 3y agoThat's OK but too uncomfortable when managing a number of git repositories on a ssh server. I'm using gitolite [1] for that. The features are basic and managed by editing text files and git-pushing them to a control repository: create repositories, add users and their keys, readonly or readwrite. There is no GUI but once you have a copy of the repo on your machine you can use one of the several git GUIs available for any OS. [1] https://gitolite.com/gitolite/ https://gitolite.com/gitolite/
- actionfromafar 3y agoI was sold on the features but never got the hang of how to work with it.
- hoherd 3y agoWhat aspects of bare git repos over ssh are uncomfortable or subpar?
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoA large portion of people don’t want to memorise all the commands related merging, branching etc, catering towards the lowest common denominator I’d important.
- cmsonger 3y agoI am agreeing and adding another solution. The other solution is political. There's a reason that governments regulate and define economic rules of the road. This is a good example of where governments need to step in. The link between generative AI and the data it is trained on needs to be carefully thought through and properly handled especially given the capitalist nature of our economy.

- piva00 3y agoParroting ideologue-dogmatic bullshit platitudes is not conducive to a good discussion.
- thumbuddy 3y agoThere's an awful lot of very smart people who have studied economics for the majority of their lives who disagree with this. There are also alternatives to capitalism that don't entirely involve govt control.

- itsoktocry 3y ago>Whatever reads in the TOS now, they can and will just reword it when they need it. There's no trust. This is what is crazy to me. You can agree to terms, build infrastructure around terms you agreed to, then those terms can completely change. Don't like it? Click disagree and we'll close your account, no problem! And, thanks to politics around social media censorship, we have way too people willing to say, "Don't like the terms, don't use the platform!" to the point of normalization. Sad.
