- simonw 1y agoNot self-hosting and having a cost of zero is one of the features that makes GitHub Issues such a great solution. I don't want to risk my notes on a configuration error or billing mishap.
- xeonmc 1y agoSo Codeberg then.
- simonw 1y agohttps://codeberg.org/ https://codeberg.org/ says "Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led effort that provides Git hosting and other services for free and open source projects." Wouldn't hosting my own private notes on there be against the spirit of what they're trying to achieve? I have no problem at all freeloading off GitHub!

- simonw 1y agoMy protection against that is nepotism: I'm a "GitHub Star" which gets me direct access to GitHub staff, plus I know a lot of people who work there.
- layer8 1y agoYeah, I’m writing this for the benefit of people who want to follow your usage. It also means that your advice doesn’t generalize.
- simonw 1y agoTotally fair - if you don't have a deep relationship with GitHub it's absolutely a good idea to arrange your own backups in case of your account being suspended!
- prepend 1y agoI mean, there are my local clones. The odds of all my locals crashing at the same time as GitHub seem to be the same as local+github+sourcehut+whatever crashing.
- layer8 1y agoThis thread is about using GitHub issues. Those aren’t contained in local repository clones.
