People have open registration on those things... Thats.. Brave...
I have my own gitea instance in my homelab but of course its not accessable from the internet.
Well that kinda kills collaboration
I do the same thing. Anything I put on there isn't something that I would share with the Internet anyway. If it was a serious project, sure. It's just nice to have a personal git you can access over a VPN sometimes.
I can't understand why anyone would waste time writing code that won't be shared
Personal projects. Not everything has to be FOSS. My tiny little script to automate my lights turning green and my smart speaker playing All-Star by Smash Mouth at full volume, so I can jork it in peace? That shit doesn’t need to be public.
Home Assistant hs communities to share exactly that
My similar script has a very different goal: at midnight if someone is still up, it dims the family room light and announces on speaker”hey kids, it’s time for bed”
Yes, it needs to be public. The videos too.
Take my money.
For personal use? To automate tasks you do or solve a problem you have? Or people use git repos for notes and the like too
Dunno, I just don't believe my NixOS config files are particularly valuable. What is the benefit of sharing garbage code from a novice? I'd rather share things worth sharing, that could be useful to someone else.
For personal use. As someone who has all my non-trivial creations, including dot-files and scripts I replicate between machines, in repos since CVS has a thing it’s a habit. Version control. This stuff is mostly private but not secret, why should I have it public?
Edit after spell check.
Don't kink shame, man
