Wednesday, 31 January 2024In the process of moving out of Sourcehut.
This is not necessarily a reaction to the recent DDoS attack suffered by them, which resulted in a week long outage, but that hasn’t helped. The founder of Sourcehut probably knows more than he is letting on about why Sourcehut were targeted so precisely. It wouldn’t be a surprise if it eminated from a faction of the internet intolerant of his often outspoken political [socialist] views (e.g here, here and here to pick out some recent ones).
I really like Sourcehut and what it stands for: simplicity, freedom, no Javascript, use of email, etc, but I only went there on the first stop on my journey towards eventual freedom from the likes of Github. The next step for me is self-hosting at git.yulqen.org using cgit. See you there!
