Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

If a corporate recruiter or technical recruiter can't navigate a git forge that is not GitHub that is their failing not your problem to fix.

yeah but they won't fix it. They'll make a note that this candidate is difficult to work with and look for another.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

They don't even have to "look". Just grab the next resume off the stack.

Then you know the kind of environment the company fosters and do you want to work for an org that doesn't have the decency to look at their applicants?

I don't work for an org, I work for money.

Why should I self-sabotage my options, they might have a shit hiring process and still pay well.
