Hosting my #Git repos on GitHub is feeling increasingly icky because of the way Microsoft is scraping and reusing user code without consent, violating free software licenses in the process. I don't have code worth a shit hosted with them and don't care about the open GitHub Pages repo which I'm using as a quote-unquote free host of my static site. But I also have private repos of writing projects hosted with them and have no confidence at all that the privacy of this content will be respected.

So what are recommended alternatives for a use-case like mine? #Codeberg? Self-host? I don't need fancy actions or anything like that, just trustworthiness and integrity both morally and technically. I could probably self-host if it's just Mastodon- or wiki-levels of fiddly, at a much higher difficulty level (say: email hosting) I'm likely better off with an external host. An external host also has the advantage of not falling prey to my incompetence as a sysadmin, which is why I've held my nose and used GitHub all this time lol.
