FSF Urges Moving Off Microsoft's GitHub to Protest Windows 11's Requiring TPM 2.0 (news.slashdot.org)

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."

What's a good alternative (assuming this is one of the few things I don't want to self-host)?

I self-host Gogs for my internal projects, but my public stuff is on Github. The only "fancy" GH feature I use is the actions since it will do ARM builds which I can't do locally.

https://code.onedev.io/ - built upon Java, feature-rich but suffers from HTTPS-only clones (yep, the main instance can't use SSH)
radicle - federated sourceforge. Doesn't have a CI but they are actively working on it, but your repo is replicated across multiple instances, "pull requests" (they call them patches - example) can be done across instances, and the devs dog-food it (one of their repositories), and it also works on TOR

I'd love to support gitlab, but they refuse to invest in federation and there have been rumors about inter to be bought by Google, which will definitely kill any federation suggestions.

OneDev does support to clone via SSH if self hosted. Only that SSH access to code.onedev.io is turned off.
