Personal GitHub profile for Joost Jansky — maintainer of Energyausweis.
Product and private git no longer live on GitHub. Day-to-day development runs on a self-hosted Forgejo instance. This account stays on GitHub for public material, identity (OAuth / integrations), and achievements — not as the source of truth for the Energyausweis monorepo or deploys.

We left GitHub as the host for private and product repositories in 2026. GitHub remains useful for reach; it is no longer our source of truth.
Self-hosting gives us:
- Control over where data lives and who can access it
- Predictable performance on our own infrastructure
- Clear retention and backup policies we operate ourselves
- Tighter integration with our deploy stack without coupling to an external SaaS API
For a European product, keeping project data on infrastructure we govern also simplifies privacy and compliance compared to relying on a U.S.-hosted platform by default.
GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Many teams are uncomfortable with long-term dependence on a single U.S. corporate host for code, issues, CI metadata, and contributor identity — especially when platform direction can shift toward proprietary AI tooling, enterprise monetization, or policies maintainers do not control.
Our view: that is a strategic risk. We prefer a forge whose roadmap and governance we can reason about without betting the product on one vendor’s commercial priorities, legal exposure, or jurisdiction.
We run Forgejo — a lightweight, self-hosted Git forge (issues, pull requests, wiki, webhooks, CI integrations).
Forgejo fits when governance matters: community-oriented, non-profit governance (Codeberg e.V.), after the Gitea project’s direction moved toward a for-profit structure.
One line: Forgejo for sovereignty, privacy, speed, and independence from U.S. corporate control.
We recommend Gitea for community and OSS projects that want simple, low-maintenance self-hosted collaboration — repos, PRs, issues, wiki, webhooks — without heavy operations.
| Forgejo | Gitea | |
|---|---|---|
| Governance | Community / non-profit emphasis | Pragmatic, company-backed in practice |
| Best for | Sovereignty + community control | Easy self-hosted “GitHub-like” forge |

GitHub’s live contribution graph dropped after private and public product repos were removed in July 2026. Achievements on this account were kept; the activity heatmap on the profile tab no longer reflects years of work.
Below is a static screenshot of the profile and contribution graph from 2026-07-21, captured before deletion (warm archive).
Snapshot only — not updated. Historical repos are preserved in an offline warm archive.
