+## Where this project lives
+
+The real home for this project is a self-hosted Gitea instance: **[git.scient.ing/education/coursebank](https://git.scient.ing/education/coursebank)**, where the code, issues, and history live on infrastructure I control.
+GitHub only holds a pointer, so open issues, send pull requests, and clone from the link above.
+I moved because I would rather own where my code lives than rent it under terms a platform can rewrite by announcement, and self-hosting puts backups, uptime, and data location back in my hands.
+Old GitHub links still resolve here, so nothing breaks.
