I've moved this site's repository from GitHub to SourceHut, an alternative, open-source Git host. Why? For a few reasons ...

Why?

• GH/MS kind of lame
  • Sales people
• AI
• Git is decentralized/open source; GitHub is centralized/closed source
• I like and follow DD (maybe not)
• Tim Harek uses it
• I'm still a happy enough GitHub user at work, but this is my place where I can be as fussy as I my heart desires.

• I paid for it
  • Happy to support independents
  • Cheaper than self hosting Gitea or similar
  • Cryptocurrency is an abject disaster

Stuff to know

Adding a new remote is as simple as

git remote rename origin github
git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~dce/davideisinger.com
git push origin main

But switching from GitHub Actions to SourceHut Builds took some doing.

• No actions marketplace
• & doesn't work
• Secrets go in files, not environment variables
• Shared config file
  • https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/#build-environment
• Disable logging
  • https://man.sr.ht/builds.sr.ht/#keeping-your-secrets-a-secret
