Forgejo CI is really easy to setup, though. Just get a cheap VPS or Oracle Free Tier and you don't have to worry about freeloading.

- rglullis 1y agoSure, for my private projects I already run my own Gitea and Woodpecker CI (and my own docker registry, and my own Taiga server for project management, and my own baserow server to replace airtable, etc...) but the moment you say "just get a VPS to run this service that is available for free at $BIGCORP", you lost 90% of the potential users.
- archargelod 1y ago> available for free at $BIGCORP Is it really free, though? You get free service - MS gets everyone's code for free. Only a fool would believe that they don't use private repos for training. And even if it was free, do you really believe it is sustainable to just offer unlimited service for free to anyone? They've created an environment where you're punished for using anything but github. This is not good.
