gollark: I can probably check this.
gollark: git.osmarks.net™ features:- 46 repositories, which are mostly just mirrors of neat open source projects I like- gitea, a very not lightweight git server written in accursed golang- Git LFS- a highly reliable* postgres database backend
gollark: Anyway, palaiologos/gnobody, you should obviously use git.osmarks.net for all projectuous hosting.
gollark: No, although it is in the repos somehow.
gollark: I have no idea what that is.
