Ahh gotcha, makes sense.

Got it, thanks.

When you switched, did you lose all of your Gitea data? Or was that somehow importable?

Out of curiosity, how did you switch to Forgejo? I thought Gitea and Forgejo have diverged to the point where you can no longer just switch over without losing stuff.

It makes a certain amount of sense. More deduplication means more CPU (and IO) spent on that work.

The only disadvantage I find is that there is no cross system deduplication.

You could achieve this by having all machines write to a single Borg repository, where everything would get deduplicated. But downsides include: 1. You lose everything if something goes wrong with that one repo, and 2. You’d have to schedule backups across all systems so as not to run at the same time, because the single repo can only have a single writer at once.
