Yes, for personal projects I just self-host an instance of forgejo with dokploy. Everything else I deploy on codeberg, which is also an instance of forgejo.
Not any longer. It used to but the outages have become very common. I am thinking about moving all my personal stuff to Codeberg.
I love its UI (apart from its slowness, of course). I find it much cleaner than Gitlab's.
self-host your own services. There are a lot of alternatives to GitHub.
It always has been to just self host. Predicted GitHub's outage streak as far back as half a decade ago [0].

We're starting to have that convo in our org. This is just getting worse and worse for Github.
Hosting .git is not that complicated of a problem in isolation.
