I am happy that my git host of choice has a very simple monetization/sustainability model: I pay money, they host my code.

Thanks ddevault and anyone else from Sourcehut who may see this!

I mean, that's part of the model mentioned in the post above (Instance Hosting/SaaS).

The thing is, I'm very happy with that not being part of the model, but the whole model.

I don't want to deal with experimentation or complex organizations or "an enhanced enterprise version" or free tiers. I want someone to take money from myself and other customers, and use it to make a good product without shenanigans.

E: As far as I know, it is still possible to get free accounts on sr.ht - however, it is very transparent that this is not a permanent offer.

Bus factor: 1?
Re:Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea by ddevault on Wednesday October 26, 2022 @03:40AM (#33340884)
SourceHut's bus factor is something like 3.6

fyi: I was just checking out SourceHut ... something is wrong with this link https://sr.ht/projects (get a "bad gateway")

We're in the midst of a planned maintenance window:

Merely for your consideration, if you were to rewrite the 502 template to mention your status page, it could save these kinds of "communication gaps" in the future

Yeah, it's on the todo list.

Thanks :)

I just wish they offered more than one payment option. I don't have a credit card.

Other than that it's great, uncomplicated and doesn't try to be some special CI cloud toolchain as a service and won't spam me with notifications.

We're working on more payment methods, hopefully before the end of the year.
