I’ve once again brought up a Gitea instance on my server space, but there are two highlights here:

1. No self-registration (accounts are tied to the e-mail server, which is in turn tied to the system accounts)
   
2. Going beyond the landing page requires to be logged in, no excuses. (It also could scare the AI crawlers to oblivion, avoiding Anubis at that)
   

That’s it.

Additionally I won’t be opening registrations until New Year (I will also be retiring from system administration by that point, but will come every now and again)
