Where do you host your code?

I host all my code on github:

But recently I saw this:

Github for me is a real on-go, i don't like it's current owner. For me this illustrates the problem with services like that, you might be ok with a service now, but that can change outside your control.
By the way: 2FA does not necessarily mean a proprietary app, it depends on the implementation. If they use TOTP that's an official standard and there are a lot of free (as in freedom) implementations for that.

I'm using a VPS with cgit to host some repo's, but that doesn't have all the functions github has. There are other options for self-hosting, and i guess a VPS might be a solution for you CGNAT problem. IPv6 could work, but keep in mind some users are still on IPv4-only networks.

Other alternative services could be gitlab (https://about.gitlab.com/) or source hut (https://sr.ht/).

As for the 2FA, I use Aegis on an Android phone (I'm pretty sure there are similar iOS alternatives).

It is free and open source (GPL). You can backup the contents of the "vault" to a file, and save it anywhere you like (desktop/laptop/server, external hdd, whatever). With this, if you lose your phone... you can still get your account access back.

1. Aruba used to have dirt-cheap VPS, so that's an option for self-managed hosting, might be worth checking out if they still offer something like that (their user interface absolutely sucks though, and cheap vps don't offer any easy way to install your own system; gotta get creative to escape the default templates).
2. Apparently, gitlab offers free hosting for small projects, 10 GB transfer is a bit tight, but still good enough for a personal overlay.

That's it from me for now.
I actually wonder how many people here maintain private overlays or publish their own programs. I think gentoo actually lacks some good catalogue of community packages. I do know zugaina exists, but quite frankly I'm not too happy with it.

Two-factor authentication has been a requirement for the Gentoo project for quite a long while now, but luckily it doesn't mean one needs to purchases a smartphone for it (I use 'oathtool').

See for example:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Infrastructure/Two-factor_authentication

I would definitely prefer something else than GitHub, like GitLab for example, but the latter does have some annoying disadvantages in that it is completely broken without JavaScript, uses infinite scroll for commit history, and other not-so-fun UI decisions to mention a few.

I pretty much work with non-personal projects though, so I'm not entirely sure where I would host my things...

I started with github, switched to gitlab for obvious reasons then finally recently signed up with codeberg to report an issue.

My aim there is to have atomic per package repositories (in progress).

Additionally I wish to bind my portage config /usr/local trees and which current manual maintenance is binded to alias/scripts using emacs. app-emacs/magit-popup is there already. (work undone).

I have a "Hetzner" root server in their datacentre which is running Gentoo of course and hosts my gitea, but yet only private repos.

But hosting a gitea on a raspi or such would work just fine, too.

Did you both set USE=-acct on www-apps/gitea and not create the user by hand? The ebuild seems to default to USE=acct, so this should work out of the box.

i have a paid account on sr.ht, and have been gradually moving my stuff there. i find the UX has some rough edges, but overall i prefer the email-based workflow, even though i've had a few teething issues. i like the idea of not forcing users to set up an account just to report an issue, submit a contribution, etc.

I do. In the past, I haven't. The only thing I've found that doesn't work are the bbcode "shortcuts."

I do let some jaascript run, but github isn't one of those. That it recently (months?) worked well enough suggests intentional breaking of an interface that did work (the intent may have been "laziness" rather than blocking users, though I wouldn't bet on it given the "benefits" of forcing js).

Never heard of ublock making a browser.
You seem to have quite a lot of browsers installed.
If you compiled all of them, it seems like a lot of time was spent. Probably more than it takes to rebuild my whole system.
Can't you just install browsers as needed, instead of having them all installed at once?

uBlock doesn't make a browser. I was avoiding the name to emphasize what I'm using. Without uBlock, I'd use the internet only if unavoidable.

Waiting to install something until you need it seems a bit late. Especially if it needs to be compiled.

Previously I would periodically install Vivaldi or some other Chromium based browser to see if they implemented a usable UI. Since none appear to be interested in doing so, I usually end up uninstalling them after an update or two. I know I don't like Vivaldi, so I can probably uninstall it. I haven't used the others enough to form an opinion.

I read a news item a while back about someone having received funding to create a browser without relying on existing browsers or engines. I don't recall the name, but I'll be curious to see if there are any follow-up stories about it.

I use ublock and noscript. Too much bloat and "fancy" stuff.
I use palemoon right now, but I haven't used cromium-based browsers since my windows days other that to test them.
Yet somehow, the chromium engine is a must have for 65% of web users.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have such isues:
https://github.com/chromium/chromium/commit/6f47a22906b2899412e79a2727355efa9cc8f5bd
By the way, are the gentoo sites in danger of adopting this "feature"?

The Google Origin Trials evokes... some thoughts.

Although I can't make sense of what that actually means... forcing "features"?

I have no idea what Gentoo may or may not implement. Given that upgrading phpbb has been delayed for a long time (decades?), it seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.

My memory of Plaemoon was that they were "unfriendly" to Gentoo users because of compiling, so there's that. If they support something like uMatrix, I'd have to reconsider (I actually primarily use uMatrix because I don't understand uBlock. The latter provides updated lists I guess).

For 2FA, I had to setup it once for GitLab (even worse than GH, ew) and used the FOSS app-admin/pass-opt with success, even if I had a lot of pain in the process, needing media-gfx/zbar to decode the QRcode that didn't have its contents available in plaintext form.

For code hosting, I currently pay for SourceHut, though I'm not a big fan of its slowed development and lack of internal links between every project areas.
My big issue with codeberg/gitlab/notabug/etc.. is the lack of granual Atom/RSS feeds like GH (I only want to see new commits to a specific branch, for example).

In the future, I'll probably rent a VPS to run cgit/stagit with a mailing list or bugzilla/mantis. Anyone knows a mailing list software that allows static HTML generation of its archives, by the way?
