code-hosting-hopping (without particular dates):

1️⃣ Launchpad.net
2️⃣ Savannah.nongnu.org
3️⃣ Gitorious.org
4️⃣ Bitbucket.org
5️⃣ GitLab.com
6️⃣ ?

Maybe there will be no 6️⃣. I'm drained and also tired of feeling like a freeloader 😔

Is it too much to ask for an unconditional hosting platform with unlimited resources? 🙃
