Not GP. Probably less dependencies on github, e.g. actions which sometimes don't work. This way github is a "dumb backup".

I selfhost forgejo (gitea fork) on home sever (nuc), similar setup with tailscale. I was planning to setup git mirror on a remote VM for backup, but since I am the only one using it and have everything on dev laptop and remote backups of nuc server I didn't bother to do that (I know I still should).

Eh? What GH department do you work in anyways? Training Data Sustainability?

I don't understand your question. If I was working for GH would I be selfhosting forgejo?

edit: If you think I sound like an LLM, I guess that is what happens when most of your interactions in English language are with LLMs.

Given the state of it, you might well ...

I missed the opportunity to add "you are absolutely right".

Why not. But you are saying github as a dumb backup makes sense when you do self-hosting. I don't think you really believe that.

GH as a backup and a downstream public mirror for a self-hosted gitea or similar is entirely purposful. None of your comments have made any sense.

Yeah I should've asked why they are self-hosting in the first place. I was wrong in assuming that they wanted to host it themselves (that is, avoiding an external dependency).
