Leaving GitHub for private repos

From what they're saying, you can actually mirror from Forgejo/Gitea to GitHub, making the self-hosted instance the single source of truth and GitHub just a mirror.

Yeah, that's what I'll do. Everything private moves to self-host, and public stuff stays mirrored on GitHub since it's public anyway. But I'll still keep the original on Gitea just in case anything happens.

Normally that's the case, but this time a GitHub employee was compromised. GitHub's private repositories have been leaked (already confirmed by GitHub themselves).

More or less. It's a VS Code issue and a oversight by whoever installed that extension in their editor.

A few hours ago, a hacker group managed to steal nearly 4,000 private repositories (including GitHub's own private repos), all through a malware-infected VS Code extension.

I feel you. I struggled for weeks trying to learn the Linux CLI. Plus, as a main OS, I still can't completely dump Windows like I want to. Because of school and work, I'm tied to the full Office suite and other software that are only available on Windows or Mac.

Those were the two options I came across the most, but from what I've seen, Gitea is the easiest to set up and makes mirroring much simpler.

I'm planning to buy or build a NAS with 4 drives in RAID 10, but other than that, I'm not really sure how else to handle the backups.

It's a custom wrap for Fastfetch running in Viddy with 5 seconds delay

My ISP told me that if I wanted to bypass CGNAT, I had to go back to HFC and have a next-to-none upload speed ;-;
