TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, "and shielding them from unauthorized access," Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows."

You can self host Forgejo (a Gitea fork) which is powering codeberg.org

It will be getting federation support someday with the ForgeFed ActivityPub extension, so you pretty much can stay connected with others' repos while owning your data.

I self-host Gogs, currently, but I am looking at Forgejo after several recommendations. Not sure how useful AP integration will be at first, but it'd be a "nice to have" once it's there for sure.

The reason I'm looking at a hosted one rather than on-prem is the hosted one is basically my "hot" backup.
