Has anyone used the Repository Mirroring Feature [1] to mirror repos across self-hosted Forgejo/Codeberg/Github? How effortless is it? Ideally, I'd like to only ever push repos/branches to my self-hosted Forgejo, and have those changes automatically reflected on Codeberg/GH without thinking about it.
I suppose this is a good opportunity to ask, why do people get so affected by DVCS hosts going down? You can work locally with Git without uploading every change. Despite the constant reported GitHub downtime, I have not ever been adversely affected even once, since pushing and pulling are done every few days and I can freely branch/commit/merge locally.
I have always wondered why don't they charge at least based on storage or so? Maybe above a basic/generous tier? I mean if I'd love to pay a few USD a year for say a few tiny repos that no uses other than me, and a static landing page (like Github Pages) that no one visits except me (every few months; maybe a recruiter or two, though I seriously doubt that). I'd rather pay a place like Codeberg than Github. From latter for such basic offerings I'd expect free services, yup! (Because I already pay them in other ways, like my data and all that.. but that's really beside the point). As for funding or becoming a member, I am not there yet and also that is not regular enough for me, that is not streamlined for me personally.
How… why… what? Let's say it's like.. well… I don't know.. anyway.. people (esp. from USA), please don't be offended (discussion on this topic has felt like we are from different planets), I'd rather pay a simple restaurant bill where 2Y tip is mandatorily part of the bill than a Y tip that I would "leave at the table" or "drop in a tip jar" or "generously" "hand it" (or slip it) to the staff. I have lots of problems with the latter but let's not get into that here anyway.

This strikes me as odd, only three servers?
