Moving (closer to) home

I have been using GitHub to host my online repository for over a decade now. The problem is that I'm getting errors -seemingly at random- like this one:

Too many requests

You have exceeded a secondary rate limit.

Please wait a few minutes before you try again;
in some cases this may take up to an hour.
Signing in may provide a higher rate limit if you are not already signed in.

even if all I did was try to access a page with my own commits. Even more infuriating, those errors now  persists even if I delete all the cookies.

Also, in not-so-distant future (I hope!) I might want to use CI/CD. However, broken GitHub implementation was one of the reasons why e.g. Zig moved over to Codeberg, and I'm inclined to do the same.

So, I'll be moving my online repository to Codeberg, and also primary email and probably even this blog. In short, there will be delays before I can continue development. In theory, it should be simple to switch from one online git host to another; in practice, there is a difference.

Home? you ask. Well, this time around I'll prefer European services, preferably non-profit.
