I'm aware of the problems with osdn.net for quite a while now. But

Osdn.net was sold to a mobile app gaming company called Appirits, but since
then it seems that osdn.net has been abandoned.
Logan Abbott who owns sourceforge reached out to me a few times already,
suggesting that I move TSVN back to sourceforge. But I haven't forgotten
the desaster SF had when they moved everything to new servers. All data was
lost, no backups available for most repositories! I was lucky I had a local
svnsync of the TSVN repo, or we had lost everything. So while SF *now *seems
better than osdn.net, I'm reluctant to move back there.
Also, moving the repo also means a lot of work, that's not just done in a
day...
are there other options available besides sourceforge.net?
Just in case, our proposal from 2015 ("Where shall we go?" @ tsvn-dev)
still holds.
We are ready to set up a virtual machine on AWS with VisualSVN Server and
provide it for hosting the TortoiseSVN repository.
The web interface is going to look like this:
https://demo-server.visualsvn.com/!/#tortoisesvn
This VM can be mapped to the svn.tortoisesvn.net domain or any other
convenient tortoisesvn.* domain name.
Since it's going to be a dedicated VM, it can be expected to work fast,
reliably and without any limitations when it comes to setting up hooks,
fine-tuning the configuration or synchronizing the repository to any other
place. If at some point there's a better option of hosting the repository,
it could be exported and migrated there without any issues.
