    And another reason to not use GitHub for new projects anymore and working on migrating older projects away from it.

      Codeberg is good for open-source projects.

      I don’t think they allow non-open-source except by special permission.

          The point is that people who privately host projects on GitHub might expect to be able to do the same on a GitHub alternative.

          Also, some people use GitHub for non-open-source projects with public code. (Remember, open-source has a specific meaning; merely publishing your code in public view does not make it open-source.)

            This strengthens my point even more.

              I don’t see any point that could be strengthened. All I see from you above is a question.

                  So mind telling us mere mortals what your point is, then?

                  Just asking why anyone would want to publicly host the repo for a closed source project isn’t a point – it’s just you not understanding the reasons for doing that, and just because you personally don’t understand something doesn’t mean there’s no valid reason to do it.

      where would you recommend going? i can self host but would like somewhere that can be monitored by cloudflare for rebuilding of static pages, etc.

        I’d either selfhost a Forgejo instance (which I already do) or use Codeberg (which I also do). The Cloudflare thing for selfhosting is something you need to set up on your own, though.

          I mostly use flare when I don’t want to host a static site that’s going to get hammered or penned. I used to traefik stuff at home. but lately I just use wireguard then hit things “locally.”

        I use codeberg as well as a self-hosted local forgejo for backups. On codeberg, lots of people use woodpecker-ci to automate building static pages but I just manually build with jekyll

        Selfhosted forgejo with something like woodpecker ci. We’re playing a game of hot potato, with the way these services are getting worse and worse, so it’s easier to jump ship early, and just be happy

        You can setup a Forgejo Action that deploys the site using Cloudflare Wrangler. Codeberg uses Forgejo, and GitLab CI/CD should work too.

        If Wrangler is too hard I think there’s a webhook thing, but I’m not too sure.

        what is the use case for cloudflare?

        is it still self hosting if you use an external service like that?

          cloudflare is not self hosting. it is however a simple place to have a page / worker on a free plan that watches a github repo and on changes does a pull and does a ci step like an install of a vue3 app. it then serves the app on a domain. so I can spin up a test vue3+ts app and know I can share it with the public. so like a personal homepage or something simple.

          knowing a bad actor won’t be thinking “flandish self hosts if I can break into site’s IP I can assume he also self hosts good stuff”

          at the worst a bad actor will ddos a free plan page on cloudflare which can handle it.

    At first it kind of seemed like Nadella might be a decent caring steward for Microsoft. Now it seems a lot more like he’s just relentlessly focused on profits at the cost of all else.

    Microsoft eliminating independence from companies they bought has almost never gone well. I don’t understand why they keep trying.

    Not really “exclusive”. This news is all over the Internet today. I don’t know why news outlets do this. No one cares if it’s “exclusive” or not.

      I don’t know why news outlets do this.

      Cause click-bait. Also, very likely, because the term has been abused with such frequency that AI headline generating tools are slapping it on posts with abandon.

      No one cares if it’s “exclusive” or not.

      In theory, long-form interviews and other deep-dive investigative journalism offer a more comprehensive look at an individual or event. And so an “exclusive interview” is noteworthy because it provides so much more content to the subscriber.

      In practice, the term’s been flogged to death for so long and so routinely abused that it has lost all meaning. So “no one cares” because nobody trusts the signal that the headline prefix is supposed to convey.
