Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my 'status' when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.
Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!
Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo
All I want for Christmas in Forgejo federation.

Dvorak layout, my bad. This typo happens way too often on phone.
I know that pain, brother. Colemak + 3 languages often plays tricks on my autocorrect.
Codeberg has a 750mb limit, for me that is not enough. I need to store asset data as well.
Split the repository? It's not an unreasonable thing to do.
That said, FreeBSD's repo is 2ish GiB, and Linux is 3, LLVM is huge too. Not unreasonable to want to mirror those.
If you ask nicely they can increase the limit :). They have the limit to avoid abuse with people storing movies or whatnot (the limit is a recent addition)
Thanks I ll try that
Good point! I wasn't aware of that.
Im going to remove my Github content and host it just for myself in my own Forgejo at home.
Pity that the world is falling apart in so many ways.
As I said to the other person, the limit can be waved if you ask. They have it to avoid people abusing the system to store movies and stuff
