Wow, github is planning to charge people to use their own hardware for self-hosted github actions runners. :rofl:

Not likely to impact any open source forks (who probably use github hosted actions anyway), but closed forks may have to either migrate off github or start paying them to use your own hardware.

the enshittification strikes again!, eh never been much of a fan of Github anyways, but I am still keeping the Dangercode repo up and public on github of course, but I am highly considering just mainly mostly making my new ss14 repos on Gitlab

Nice, gitea is really good

Github has also lately been demanding I login due to ‘rate limiting’ a lot recently. I guess they really want to do data tracking or something

probably since Github in the current world we are in now is a subsidiary of Microsoft and such

actually curious about the repo size limit of Gitea, since I know Gitlab has a size limit of 10 gigabytes bigger then bitbucket and Github, and that it’s sort of a major reason why i like Gitlab but yeah

Gitea is self hosted, so it’s theoretically based on the host disk size

I’ve heard anecdotally gitlab performs better than gitea for large repos, but haven’t observed this myself. It seemed to work fine for space station when I tried it. If you do plan to host large repo on there, you may want to check the git version is recent: Extremely slow performance with larger repositories · Issue #19812 · go-gitea/gitea · GitHub
