First, they restricted code search without logging in so I'm using sourcegraph But now, I cant even view discussions or wiki without logging in.
It was a nice run
Honestly for selfhosters, I can't recommend enough setting up an instance of Gitea. You'll be very happy hosting your code and such there, then just replicate it to github or something if you want it on the big platforms.
+1 for Gitea. It's super lightweight, and works really well! I recently switched to Gitlab simply because I wanted experience with hosting it, but Gitea is much lighter and easier to use.
The only thing surprising is that it took Microsoft almost three years to turn on the shit-spigot.
I'm honestly blown away by whomever finds this surprising. This is Microsoft we're talking about. Everything they touch turns into this. Taking what is not theirs, using it for profit, and not even giving credit where credit is due.
What are good alternatives to GitHub except selfhosting? I only know gitlab.com. Anything else?
I'm not a developer so I'm not very familiar with this world. But it kind of amazes me that the code for so many open source projects are hosted by Microsoft. Isn't there a FOSS alternative? edit: seems Gitlab is an alternative. Then the question is, why are people using microsoft products?
Github started independently and was amazing service(and still is except now its going downhill) but Microsoft acquired it it 2018
