Just self host an open source runner like woodpecker and you’ll never have to move again
hell you can even self host github actions via
actThis. As someone who migrated an organization’s repos from a self hosted Git server to GitHub (begrudgingly) and then back to a self hosted Git server again when it didn’t meet the business needs … emphatically this.

How painful is the setup and general maintenance/security?
I’m considering the idea but I just don’t want to deal with people abusing exploits in the actions that give them access to my LAN.
If you’re working with a team, you can only let certain people trigger checks
I was more thinking along the lines of having FOSS repos that are primarily used by me but which can accept external pull requests by anybody with a Github account.
I like the idea of running my own machine for CI but I don’t like the idea of having to become knowledgeable about avoiding exploits.

What makes GitLab CI better than GitHub Actions in your eyes?
I’ve not extensively used either, and GitLab CI has been a while, but they felt pretty similar. I had put them into the same category.
We use Jenkins at work. I administrate it. For the most part, I find it horrendous.

Article topic aside, is anyone else getting annoyed by those AI generated images for articles?
As a small protest against problems with the AI industry, I don’t read posts with them. It costs little to not contribute to the issues at hand, and being unwilling to drop the slop doesn’t endear the authors to me.
Not much more than the stock images we had before. When they’re added to articles, most of the time, they added nothing but noise and wasted layout space the same way. It’s just that the image is generated, sometimes [even more] silly now.
The only good thing about Github Actions is the “marketplace” or that you can publish and find actions. The rest is just… not the way I’d do CI. I’m so glad I don’t have to touch that anymore. Only thing worse than Github CI is Jenkins. *Shudder*
You like the marketplace? I dislike it. Or at least its form. I appreciate that there is sharing of actions.
But I dislike having to navigate between repo and marketplace pages. I dislike that I have to assess who publishes them and inspect whether they and the code are trustworthy, and I have to assess risk or whether to copy or extract the relevant code. (And then you have to add and configure via text and magic strings and look up params elsewhere which of course is a consequence of the tech, not a fault of the marketplace itself.)
I feel it adds so much indirection and diffusion it’s hard to do good trustworthy actions/code well. Which if course stands against it’s usefulness of sharing workflows and actions. I know I’m more concerned and more thorough with that stuff than most people.
I like the concept. It helps with not having to rewrite the same stuff over and over again. It’s like a package registry. Whether it’s implemented well is debatable of course and it’s understandable you don’t like it.
