Microsoft’s GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – “specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context” – to train its AI models.

I still don’t quite understand. I self-host my runners, it’s really easy (even behind a dynamic & shared 5G IP), free and limitless.
This all obviously depend on your CI/CD needs. As I said, problem is with resource heavy stuff.
I tried building my project on a base tier VPS from Hetzner using gitlab runner and it run out of memory. So I would have to pay for a more expensive VPS that would be sitting there idle most of the time. Doesn’t make sense for me but if someone is running CI/CD all the time it may be a good option.
I ended up installing the runner on a spare PC I have because I just needed it for couple of weeks. Having this PC sitting idle all the time also doesn’t make much sense but if you’re building a lot it may be a good option. But you do need a quite strong server at home and this costs money.
And that’s because I only need Linux machine. If I wanted to also build my app on Windows and Mac things get more complicated.
Different people have different CI/CD needs. In some cases self-hosting runners is easy, in other cases replacing github, which gives you linux, windows and mac compute time for free, will be complicated.
Running those in VMs on the same machine could work.
