@carsten I am sure your own Gitea install will not last as long as GitHub. Same applies to having your repositories on envs.net. But that aside. Is Mike centring all his complains on GitHub JS usage? Pfff! Dear lord. 😒
@david It seems that he is doing that.
@david Now that you said it, the JS usage, it seems that he is doing that. And maybe your right. Own things might not last that long as github.com does.
@movq I meant odds are one own self hosting will not last as long as GitHub. Many factors might influence the impermanence of self-hosting. Now, as with everything, there might be exceptions (you may consider yourself one, for example).
@david I see. Hmm, you could be right there. Those projects would be equally abandoned if they were on GitHub, but at least they’d still exist. 🤷 (You know I like self-hosting, so I’d say: Do it, @carsten! 😅)

@movq I disagre. If the projects were actually worthwhile they'd have been forked or cloned or mirrored, or all three and likely found on numerous Git hosting "services" both centralized and self hosted 😆

@prologic what makes a repo worthwhile? Even the least seemingly important, or interesting, might have some use, sometime, somewhere.
If the history of mankind relied on self hosting, we would have no history. Or a very incomplete one.

This statement alone is flawed, because it makes me think of all of the times that entire libraries (_think centralised services in today's terms-) were burned to the ground. Like the infamous Library of Alexandria that was burned to the ground in 48BC by Julius Caesar where much information was lost. 😅_

@david
> what makes a repo worthwhile?
To be honest I'm not sure. I'm just saying that if it was really important to someone, they'd have forked it or cloned it and put more copies of it somewhere.
I would do the same and I do.
