Pretty sure I had Embrace Extend Extinguish as my ‘status’ when microsoft inevitably introduced that linkedin style social media bullshit to a git server.
Plenty of good alternatives out there, or roll your own!
Comment on GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation

It blows my mind that so many devs did not see this coming the moment Microsoft bought it. I was waiting for this to happen the moment I found out about the acquisition.

Use Codeberg, or self-host Forgejo

Codeberg has a 750mb limit, for me that is not enough. I need to store asset data as well.

Split the repository? It’s not an unreasonable thing to do.
CamilleMellom@jlai.lu 1 day ago
If you ask nicely they can increase the limit :)
PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Good point! I wasn’t aware of that.
Im going to remove my Github content and host it just for myself in my own Forgejo at home.
Pity that the world is falling apart in so many ways.

I fully saw it when I heard but alas. I still need the green squares on my github page to get hired. Nobody looks at projects as much as the green squares.
jjlinux@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
I’m not a developer, but I can certainly understand your position. It’s unfortunate that companies rely on this type of company to decide if someone is worth hiring. There’s a need for companies to have streamlines that look at the actual capabilities and values of potential hires, regardless of where the evidences are hosted.
This world is way too broken, and getting worse every day.

It is laughably easy to fake those green squares that for a while, ages ago, I had some commit counts like 14000 or so… every single day.
There are so many tools to also fake human like commit counts for those pretty green squares that if I came to know of my senior engineers hiring on that basis, their estimation as interviewers in my eyes would take a nosedive.

I stopped sending updates to it and host my own gitlab now.
won’t ever look back.
Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Meaning you have your own machine to host on or how does it work?
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 1 day ago
yes. I have a rack in my basement and host gitlab out of one of my servers.
it’s available over LAN or VPN.
nightly backups to a nas and weekly syncs to S3.

S3 seems like a really expensive way to backup personal data. Are you doing it to achieve the offsite backup?
I currently dont have an offsite and im weighing up having a NAS at my parents place.

I’m only surprised it took this long.
