I had an interesting email come in about billing. GitHub thinks I owe them money…cents on the dollar but still $$. I am on the free tier on GitHub and have been the past 15+ years.
Up til recently, ive had no bills and im not an admin on any org. It looks like all my GitHub actions on my repos are accruing billing now. None of these repos are private. So im not 100% why this is occurring.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something im missing here?
I’ll be damned when Forgejo (or gitlab) starts charging me for selfhosting.
Sounds like a hard you-problem to me there.
User 1: “I’m having an issue with a service, has anyone else experienced this?”
User 2: “I do not use that service.” <-- This contributes nothing to the discussion, and makes User 2 sound like a prick. Don’t be like User 2.
User 1: “I pointed a loaded gun at my foot, and now shot myself!”
User 2: “Don’t do that.”
Since you’re getting downvoted, maybe you want to explain why using Github free is “pointing a loaded gun at your foot”?
I’m using github for a bunch of my public repos as a free backup service… Why would I want to use a self hosted or way more obscure git forge? Seems riskier than just dumping it on github
a loaded gun, sure. is that what you also think about the billions of windows users?
Yes.
I have to use Github for work. And prior to all this ive had no real issues with it…other than all the ethical arguments of course.
I have my own forgejo (and codeberg, contributed to lemmy and other projects too). works really well for my tiny projects.
According to wikipedia Forgejo development is run by Codeberg which is a non-profit organization so I doubt they will start charging money. GitLab is managed by a for-profit corporation so anything is possible with them.
