Self-host the git please.
can still be DMCAd 🤷
It can but they have to go through the effort to actually follow through with the end goal. It's not just an easy automated bureaucratic process to keep stupid safe harbor provisions (that's why copyright claims are so abusable).
Not really self hosting if youre not hosting it yourself no?
This is such a stupid argument considering you don't need a fucking giant ass data center to host a tiny little git server. I've seen this argument time and time again, but the real reason people go with VPSes is convenience and laziness.
I would absolutely agree with the other person that renting your own VPS is not self-hosting, not by a long shot. You could argue that you need a massive host for a large video or music platform, or even a large git platform with thousands of repos, but not for a tiny single user, single project forgejo or gitlab instance or a single static web page.
Yeah but like not everyone has a a thousand acres either - though you dont hear shoppers at the farmers market calling themselves farmers
It's not even needed for a tiny single user git instance, they're grossly over-representing the amount of resources required to host one of those.
