Goodbye Sourcehut
21 days ago
- SourceHut's new terms of service, effective September 10, prohibit original content written with or facilitating LLMs, but private use is allowed.
- The author uses LLMs for grunt work, proofreading, and planning, and doesn't want to second-guess compliance, so decides to leave SourceHut.
- Author loved SourceHut's minimal UI, CLI (to which they contributed), snappy performance, and CI/CD system, but not project configuration.
- Over five years, author accumulated 43 repos, emails, and tickets, which they cloned and migrated.
- After considering options like bare repos, cgit, legit, Tangled, GitHub, and atproto PDS, the author chose a self-hosted Forgejo instance with its CI-runner.
- Migration to src.timharek.no is nearly complete, self-hosting is fast, and all data is stored locally in the author's garage.
