I've been an avid GitHub user for a very long time.

I remember way back in the "olden days" in San Francisco seeing people with Octocat signs on Market. GitHub was awesome. Fond memories.

But times are a-changin', and for lots of reasons I just don't feel like GitHub is cool or "for me" anymore.

So, with my new Mac Mini, because they were on sale and everyone was getting one for OpenClaw... I put that puppy on my tailnet, installed Gitea, and I've been using it exclusively for all my projects. It's been weeks since I've pushed anything to GitHub.

I feel free.

Same here, I now self host Forgejo and Tangled Knot + Spindle.

Only use GitHub for employers at the moment, but don’t intend to put new code there going forward.

Hey, I know it’s supposed to be simple, but any chance of a write up of the macmini as a server approach? I would be interested in learning about the details of how you set it up. I would read this blog post if you ever write one!
