I deleted my repos on github and moved to a mix of codeberg and selfhosted forgejo.
But I do occasionally fork/clone/reupload random projects from github to github so they have to spend money on storage and the scrapers.
Git objects are deduplicated, the storage cost doesn't increase.
What if they run a rebase script that changes the timestamp or sth on every commit, before the reupload?
