I would like to know the reasoning why Zig chose Codeberg instead of self-hosting something like gitea or forgejo.

Seems to be a safer bet to limit hosting related weaknesses and unknowns, considering move from github being quite disruptive already.

View on HN

We always have the option of exiting Codeberg to a self-hosted Forgejo instance if that should become necessary for some reason. (Not that I expect it will, considering Codeberg is a non-profit.)

We do self-host all our CI machines.

But when you exit

It will be less controlversial than the standard library changes that are coming in the future.

One great thing about Forejo is that you can have a FreeBSD builder and on GH you cannot, have to spin up a slow VM.
