- The Dillo project is migrating from GitHub to a self-hosted solution to address issues with GitHub's JavaScript-heavy frontend and single point of failure.
- GitHub's problems include poor usability without JavaScript, slow performance, and a push notification model that doesn't suit the developer's workflow.
- The migration involves setting up a self-hosted server with cgit for lightweight, JavaScript-free repository browsing and a custom bug tracker called buggy.
- Mirrors of the repositories are maintained on Codeberg and Sourcehut to ensure redundancy and avoid reliance on a single platform.
- The new setup includes OpenPGP signatures for authenticity and resilience against DNS issues, with plans to keep GitHub repositories updated until the migration is complete.
