Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

If it's for recruiters, put it on github. That's the one they are most probably familiar with and you want to minimize barriers to access.

Github is microslop, a company who supports a fascist regime. So no, worst choice.

That's a good point 🥲

Also seo, I've sadly seen 4 year abandoned random forks rank as the first result and the actual project way below, just because it was on a self-hosted git. iirc that was the freedesktop one, so definitely not small, new, or low volume either.

Yep.. Our official website somehow often ranks below long abandoned forks on github pages?

If a corporate recruiter or technical recruiter can't navigate a git forge that is not GitHub that is their failing not your problem to fix.

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yeah but they won't fix it. They'll make a note that this candidate is difficult to work with and look for another.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Then you know the kind of environment the company fosters and do you want to work for an org that doesn't have the decency to look at their applicants?

I don't work for an org, I work for money.

Why should I self-sabotage my options, they might have a shit hiring process and still pay well.

Amen brother idk why you're down voted!! Good to know it's a shit company right away.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

They don't even have to "look". Just grab the next resume off the stack.

I mean that really depends on how badly you want the job.
