+This is my self-hosted Gitea instance.
+
+Many of the repos are mirrored to Github, mostly for (imaginary) visibility and taking advantage of free Actions. This instance is the upstream for all my stuff.
+
+You are free to make an account here for collaboration, which can be done with GitHub SSO or a plain account. If you use this instance for personal repositories, I make no guarantees about the uptime. Automated backups run nightly (EST timezone), which causes a few minute's downtime each night.
