When Github anounced its impending acquisition by Microsoft unlike many others who just flooded gitlab, I took it as a sign to just go ahead and host my personal git repo. Sure it takes some more effort and it "hurts my pocket" yet.... hosting a git repository on a raspberry pi costs no much more than having a lightbulb on permanently and having a cron job to back it up and save it somewhere once a month its not too much maintainance, my code is as free and/or private as I want it to be now and I actually think I gain so much more control of what I get to do with it instead of being limited to be a hostage of making my code opensource in order to get full feature capabilities.

And no, I have not switched (yet) to a non propietary git system, I am using Bitbucket (yes on a Raspberry PI) since it has plenty of already built in integrations, sadly they ended their offer of self hosted for small teams. It used to cost 10 bucks to get a licence to host your server for 10 users... lord most OSS is a lone effort or surelly under 10 guys, i am sure they would have continued that offer given they had more small customers. Anyhow there are plenty good alternatives as Gitea that someone might use, and that would be the true intent of git as a decentralized platform... nontheless while software is one of the best paid professions nowdays it is full of cheap (greedy) people
