Codeberg's uptime is so bad, that it actually makes GitHub look good. ~96.5% over last 2 weeks [1] [1]: https://status.codeberg.org/status/codeberg

The operate on less than 100_000€/year, so I would cut them some slack ;-) btw. codeberg is not a company, more like a foundation, Verein is the german word.

I fail to see how this is relevant to the point I was making. With uptime being so low, it's not a viable alternative: budget / resources / etc. don't change that fact.

Don't get me wrong — I am glad that they are doing what they're doing, but it's a long way until it becomes a real alternative.

This seems backwards. Why charge for me to run the thing myself instead of them?

I develop software, I also test and run it. All in my machines. But you (yes, you personally) have to collect the results and publish them to a webpage for me. For free. Would you make this deal?

I'm only going to charge you if you do most of the work yourself

Am I right in assuming it’s not the amount of payment but the transition from $0 to paying a bill at all? I’m definitely sure it’s saving me more than $140 a month to have CI/CD running and I’m also sure I’d never break even on the opportunity cost of having someone write or set one up internally if someone else’s works - and this is the key - just as well. But investment in CI/CD is investing in future velocity. The…

You're sounding a lot like a Microsoft damage control artist.

The only company I’ve held a grudge against longer than MS is McDonalds and they are sort of cut from the same cloth.

I’m also someone who paid for JetBrains when everyone still thought it wasn’t worth money to pay for a code editor. Though I guess that’s again now. And everyone is using an MS product instead.
