Almost all code lives on GitHub or GitLab these days. Convenient, but your whole workflow runs on infrastructure you don't control.
By self-hosting Forgejo, a free, #OpenSource Git platform, on a small VPS you can change that. You get repos, pull requests, issue tracking, teams and it runs comfortably on modest hardware. Then your code stays for sure where you put it.

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social Anyone considering self-hosting a publically available dynamic service should be prepared to spend considerable effort in protecting against non-consensual scraping (by AI companies). Perhaps your marketing could also include a blurb about good practices on how to build such defence when marketing self hosting for more complex services?

@hetzner@mastodon.hetzner.social the negative effect is that AI bots start flooding your server like locusts.
