Who cares if nobody can work, the important is that those illegal streams are blocked

Codeberg is supposedly located in the EU while not requiring self-hosting, maybe that's why.

Codeberg is a free/nonprofit hosted instance of Forgeo. Forgeo is a fork of Gitea created by Codeberg about a year ago when the governance of Gitea changed suddenly.

You can selfhost either Forgeo or Gitea.

There are other hosted instances of forgeo and gitea also available.

Gitlab is a hosted instance if gitlab.

You can also self host gitlab.

I assume there are other hosted instances of gitlab tho i cant think of any off the top of my head.

Is there a reason I shouldn't use gitea locally?

Uh well idk you personally so hard to say.

For me i like the remotely hosted ones.

Lots of other people run gitea locally.

What's the point of a local git server? If you're after that why not just use a regular Git repo?

Easier ci/cd integration and viewing diffs from my phone on the toilet. Nothing I can't do with regular git, it would just take more effort.

Makes sense, though GitLab very much doesn't require self-hosting

I know, but most people are lazy these days (and self-hosting stuff in the EU has become a legal battle against every week's new rules).

I don’t think you understand what I mean. It has its “main instance” which most people use. It’s just open source so you have the option of self hosting.
