I used to self host Gitea, just private repos for university assignments and other personal projects that I was going to open source one day (I have a real problem with finishing things). Then a big storm hit where I live and the internet was out for 2 weeks (I could still use my phone if I stood in the right spot), over that time I was able to work locally but for when I was out and about I couldn't collaborate on anything because I couldn't access it so I begrudgingly moved to GitHub.

At least with GitHub I get very reliable and fast hosting even if everything I write is being fed to AI. Their search is also amazing.

I do plan, however on getting Forjego set up for private stuff again, because some stuff cannot be made public. When the day comes that I finish something and open source it, I'll probably put it on Codeberg. Hopefully my project will be good enough that people are driven to join Codeberg to get involved.

As for my GitHub account, I won't be able to ditch that so I may continue to fix random bugs and typos I come across. I wouldn't want to impose my beliefs on someone else's project
