I've used GitHub for years knowing that Microsoft owning it, they're headed for a place I won't like.
I just haven't experienced that until now.
I've been trying out sr.ht and codeberg.org.
Sadly the product is nowhere near GitHub.
- atmosx 3y agoMy understanding is that sr.ht doesn't allow a user without an account to collaborate with a user that has one. So effectively _all_ developers must pay for the privilege to "work" on a project.

So effectively _all_ developers must pay for the privilege to "work" on a project. That is a misunderstanding: sr.ht only costs money if you host your projects there. Since the official supported workflow is email-based, you don't even need a sr.ht account (paid or otherwise) to submit patches.
- herbst 3y agoI just installed gitea and never looked back. Lightweight, does all I need and full control. Microsoft killing the place was very foreseeable
- sshine 3y agoGitea just has way too many security vulnerabilities for me to confidently run an open instance: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-19185/product_id-49829/Gitea-Gitea.html?page=1&order=1&trc=33&sha=c86adb63705a678a26817f8aed4c8075124ab0d6 https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-1918... I don't think that a modern git web front-end needs to either look ugly and lack basic features, or be a security vulnerability, or be run by a gigantic corporation. It just happens that you can only choose between those right now. I really wish there were something as nice as GitHub, self-hosted, with a better security model.
