Touring alternatives to Sourcehut for my personal repos. Partly because I hate git, partly because I know I’m abusing the binary files and repo size rules there.

#Diversion works well… but it’s totally closed and only offers a cloud tier for indie license. Not sure about what would happen in the event they’re acquired or fold. Does the indie license entitle me to any backup of my data/property??

#Perforce, the devil I know and easily self-hosted. But… closed. That hasn’t bothered me in the past and I feel that the company is possibly more viable (I’m less worried about losing stuff).

#ArkVCS, very reasonable licensing, also closed. But ultimately a hobby thing. I’m wary about hitching my wagon to it still.

#subversion, my old faithful. Tried and true. Easy to self host and free and open.

In all self-hosting cases I’m going to just run a small machine at home with tailscale to avoid dealing with internet bullshit. Backups are key then. I’m considering #tarsnap. Any others?
