have you considered moving or having at least an alternative? asking as someone using caddy for personal hosting who likes to have their website secure. :)
> have you considered moving or having at least an alternative Not who you're responding to, but my 2 cents: for a popular open-source project reliant on community contributions there is really no alternative. It's similar to social media - we all know it's trash and noxious, but if you're any kind of public figure you have to be there.

#164Of course they're down while I'm trying to address a "High severity" security bug in Caddy but all I'm getting is a unicorn when loading the report. (Actually there's 3 I'm currently working, but 2 are patched already, still closing the feedback loop though.) I have a 2-hour window right now that is toddler free. I'm worried that the outage will delay the feedback loop with the reporter(s) into tomorrow and ultimatel…

At its core antitrust cases are about monopolies and how companies use anti-competitive conduct to maintain their monopoly. Github isn't the only source control software in the market. Unless they're doing something obvious and nefarious, its doubtful the justice department will step in when you can simply choose one of many others like Bitbucket, Sourcetree, Gitlab, SVN, CVS, Fossil, DARCS, or Bazaar. There's just t…

Re: GitHub is down again
#169What are good alternatives to GitHub for private repos + actions? I'm considering moving my company off of it because of reliablity issues.
Don't listen to the clueless suggesting Gitlab. It's forgejo (not gitea) or tangled, that's it.
