💰 Please help cover server costs.
When are people going to start hosting their own git servers ? It can’t seriously be that hard.
When they can afford to get sued by content owners and feel like coming off with that kind of money and/or bump their heads, I would imagine. Unless it goes to dark web.
It costs money
You can rent a vps for 4$ / month, Forgejo for server is open source.
old laptop in you closet is free forever
But dont a lot of ISPs assign you a dynamic IP which makes hosting something that can access the Internet, and be accessed from the Internet, difficult?
You just update DNS entry if your ip changes (automatically over api ofc)
my isp doesn’t assign me an ipv4 and i have a dynamic ipv6 prefix, I’m hosting stuff over ipv6 just fine with dynamic prefix (i even have a ipv4 proxy set up, but it doesn’t see much use), just need to update it like every week in dns records (automatically of course)
I mean, the hosting company would be the likely target then and they’d probably lock your account and switch off the server. Depending on your nationality and that of the hoster, at least.
The hosting company would refer LEO to the person renting the server. The hosting company would be a target of LEO in such a case only if they refused to cooperate.
What does it really change? If you’re in legal troubles, the same request will come from your hosting or internet service provider.
My guess is Russia and China and other countries aren’t giving a fuck about laws of the USA and the UK
Host it in Iran or Cuba or Venezuela or something. Copyright law for western products don’t really exist in my country Iran. We have entire streaming service companies that provide you pirated content like Netflix here lmfao
“Host it in a country that your country has imposed sanctions on. What could possibly go wrong?”

How so? Contrary to popular belief, that the 14-eyes countries can’t do shit about civil-level stuff on other countries. Sure, but they can push and try fear mongering, but that’s as far as they can go.
No government is stupid enough to go to war over some DMCA bullshit.
Hosted on I2P, it can’t be found. Cease and Desist will be sent to some anonymous party that can immediately ignore it.
