When I asked researchers if they have started planning what to do if the US gov't decides to restrict access to GitHub or other bits of US-hosted digital infra, I was hoping some people would say that they are forming federated multi-institution/multi-national collaborations because any single site in any single country is just another single point of failure. It's not "can my university spin up a self-hosted version of [thing]" but "let's figure out how to federate this stuff."

@gvwilson Federated forges are the way to go here and @forgejo is leading the way.

I will also say that the UN also has a new inter-agency, extraterretorially hosted GitLab instance, although its not particularly mirroring any repos yet. (And resources are limited.)
