@ironicbadger I don’t particularly disagree with your thesis here, but genuine question: I consider GIthub to be — in part — an offsite backup. Does that not give you the willies, if you’re hosting in-home?
(This is leaving aside the obvious answer of “host on Hetzner then, you worry wart”)

@caseyliss kind of.... but with git having local copies of everything anyway it's not too hard to have one on your laptop, one in a vm somewhere, another on a desktop, and so on. In fact, now I think about it my source code is likely one of the _most_ backed up things I have!

@caseyliss Centralised git is a problem in general, but there are really good alternatives. Codeberg is popular, but there are many smaller instances from different groups, collectives and other such initiatives. @ironicbadger
