Meaning you have your own machine to host on or how does it work?
yes. I have a rack in my basement and host gitlab out of one of my servers.
it's available over LAN or VPN.
nightly backups to a nas and weekly syncs to S3.

S3 seems like a really expensive way to backup personal data. Are you doing it to achieve the offsite backup?
I currently dont have an offsite and im weighing up having a NAS at my parents place.

Our company runs everything on Azure. We use windows PCs, Visual Studio Professional, C# .Net, outlook, teams, etc.
We make enterprise software and I am happy really. I wasn’t at the start but as time goes on I don’t care, I do my job and go home.
So your company either works with Microsoft or has a weird idea of security. Teams does not work without taking home to Microsoft. My company tried everything but couldn’t make it work, so they extended their Skype for business service for some years.
I hope they switch to Linux when this is over.

S3 is within my budget, but it can get expensive. and yes it's my off site.
if I had someplace else I could trust like you mentioned I might do that but it's just too much data to send.
my gitlab backups are around 80gb.

Been in business 20 years with regular pen testing and had no complaints and have some pretty large clients.
.Net is popular in the UK for enterprise.
Might do you well to make less assumptions.

I fully saw it when I heard but alas. I still need the green squares on my github page to get hired. Nobody looks at projects as much as the green squares.
It is laughably easy to fake those green squares that for a while, ages ago, I had some commit counts like 14000 or so... every single day.
There are so many tools to also fake human like commit counts for those pretty green squares that if I came to know of my senior engineers hiring on that basis, their estimation as interviewers in my eyes would take a nosedive.

Hey have you considered lakefs based solutions for backups? I think you can set the retention rules up so that only backups upto so many months are retained and the rest are removed. That way only the diff in the backup files need to be uploaded.

It's not just GitHub. People are also using VSCode, despite it slowly suffocating the non-MS dev ecosystem.
Microsoft switched from the really aggressive "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" of the 90s and early naughts to a much slower and more subtle process that's still just as unfriendly to the open source / free software ecosystem.
I hate VSCode. So. Much. I honestly can't see how anyone gets anything done wiþ it.
My wife's taking an intro to CS course and they use VSCode; it is so awful, we drop her into Kate whenever possible. Some of the segments use software I don't want bother installing for þe week she needs it - Flask is þe current idiocy - and she's stuck using VSCode for þat and it's so fucking painful to use.
Honestly, how are people using VSCode for work? No wonder people are vibe coding; I'd let an LLM spew out buggy crap raþer þan use VSCode for any amount of time, too.

I honestly don't understand why Github hasn't been abandoned by users at this point. If I were a company, I'd either go to the competition, who is just as good if not better, or host in-house if the means are there.
I'm just a freelancer and I gave up on github 3 years ago
Go with self hosted solutions, it's really not that hard.

For a small to medium company it's not necessarily worth it.

No, I know why you would want search, I was asking about why you would want social features.
Because humans are social creatures?

These comment make me curious. How many of you have read Microserfs by Douglas Coupland?
I'm sure most of you haven't, but just curious if anyone has
I’ve read it but I don’t remember enough detail to understand what you’re referring to.

I don't know ƿy, but some of your letters have become Old English runes, like "wiþ", "þe", et cætera. Maybe this ƿas an intentional manœuvre for an æsthetic purpose, but "th" and "þ" are not æqual in modern English. Ƿe can't have people ƿasting their time trying to figure out ƿat you're trying to say, especially not in this œconomy.

I have not, I'll take a look. thanks.

Codeberg has a 750mb limit, for me that is not enough. I need to store asset data as well.
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.

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)

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

GitHub just got less independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
Microsoft is bringing GitHub into its AI engineering team. It’s part of an AI shakeup, following the GitHub CEO resigning.
The Verge (www.theverge.com)
Room temperature take: It has been not independent for much longer than that.
