I am this > < close to just running Gogs or Forgejo on some Hetzner boxes, quit my job, charge people for access. Why aren't there like 10 startups doing this yet? Please? I want to give you my money. Just give me a git host that doesn't suck. (All the current ones suck)

Gitea has a paid plan. On Forgejo forums you can find 3rd party offers of paid hosting as well.

I actually tried to use Gitea and their login page wouldn't work, so that told me all I needed to know about them

Codeberg and Sourcehut are doing it for free, for open source. Corporate probably won't ever move off Github, because they need the prestige of using Github - the actual service quality is completely irrelevant. This is an aspect of the enshittocene epoch - I repeat, quality is irrelevant to corporates.

Sourcehut isn't free and has weird UX, Codeberg is free but has poor performance and weirdly over-moderates discussions. I know corporate will always suck, I'm just talking about having something that approximates the "old GitHub" for personal/professional use

Corporate will move off GitHub as soon as it loses prestige and they will move on to the next thing.

Azure webapp deploys are also trash right now. Microsoft needs to stop slathering h1b copilot slop and get basic things like Windows patches working.

Microsoft again.
I think it is time that Microsoft lets go of GitHub. They are handling it too poorly.

Seems like outages are increasingly more frequent nowadays. Obviously, this is not the best state of affairs, and developers should not be limited by services. In the meantime I've been experimenting with building third spaces for people to chill while they wait for the services they are dependent on to go back up.
The first one I've built is a little ASCII hangout for Claude @ https://clawdpenguin.com but threads like this make me want to build it for Github too.
