Published on in 🔗 Links

Just today I migrated my hosting setup and use my private Gitea instance instead of GitLab. But because this is hosted at my home, I don’t want to trust it and it’s backups completely and have a fallback too. In the past I used GitLab for such tasks, but now I’m choosing Codeberg instead.
