By 'Git instances' they mean Gogs instances that allow open registration. I know most of the community moved from Gogs to Gitea, and then to Forgejo, but thought this was still worth noting.

Good note, and good callout, we should always call out these things.

But yes if you're self hosting and you both have a public facing instance and allow open registration, you are a much much braver person than I.

    I'm not allowing random people hosting their git repos on mine but it's public and they can fork my own stuff on it in theoretically upload some bullshit.

    I live in South Korea, brew beer

    Way off topic, but I use to be a prolific brewer of beer. In fact the rig that I built can turn 50 gallons of wort in about 3 hours and it's ready to pitch the yeast in. Brewing beer is a very fascinating process. I also made meads, wines, and have dabbled in sake, tho I wouldn't say my sake was ready for prime time. LOL And you are a musician. I already like you and I don't even know you. LOL

    Haha, yeah, although some of my hobbies slowed down a lot since I got a family. Small children really take up a lot of time.

    Today for example the 2.5 years old ate a lot of potato's and schnitzel without really chewing. Then he drank a ton of milk after dinner. While his big sister already went to bed at 21:30 he was still jumping on the bed at 22:00 und suddenly he puked out everything on the bed. So we had to clean RhE bed, the floor, him and us, was everything, shower etc.

    Now it's 23:00 and he is still excited about it and is singing in the freshly made bed instead of sleeping.

    Actually we wanted to watch a episode of some TV series bit now it's way too late for this.

    Any time you have a server willing to process random data uploaded from randos, just expect it to be compromised eventually and prepare for the eventuality by isolating it, backing it up religiously, and setting up good monitoring of some sort. Doesnt matter if its a forge, a wiki, or like nextcloud or whatever. It will happen.
