It is up again!
…sorta
Did they accidentally nuke the entire database again?
Where I work has a local instance of GitLab that is completely off the grid from the internet. In addition, we have things like Atlassian tools and some other various things with offline licenses.
Every day, we hop in a big channel to ask "okay what's down today?" "Can't edit Confluence" "Great, not like I needed to do all of my documentation today."
Best one lately is "someone revoked all permissions on Confluence and they don't have a backup so we have to manually add all 1400 of you." I got given admin perms though, so that's nice.
How is gitlab doing these days? I created a gitlab account back when they started, but I've gone back to github, and not used gitlab much.
forgejo and gitea are implementing activitypub rn. Soon you will be able to create issues and participate in discussions from the comfort of the fediverse.
That sounds nice
That's interesting. I wonder if that will increase portability of those features. I like that in git you can easily push to a new remote, but if you really want to switch git hosts, you need a lot more moved over than just code.
They started out doing well but they're getting worse IMO. They nerfed the CI availability into the ground for open source project use to the point it's basically unusable. You eat up your pathetic 400 minutes a month in no time. Basically, if you want CI you have to provide your own runners now. They have definitely been following the enshittification trends of late. They grew to prominence as an open source GitHub alternative and now they barely support open source on the platform. Definitely hoping a third alternative becomes viable with CI that is actually usable for open source projects.
That's a shame
It is generally fine. It is up again.
Dude, don't do this to me. I'm old. And I haven't lived the most healthy life. I could seriously die from such a shock.
did they wipe their database again? 😂
Self-hosted GitLab go brrrr
Oh shit, I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD MY DAILY UPDATE OF VERY IMPORTANT PACKAGES FROM GNOME to compile myself just for the sake of having THE VERY CUTTING EDGE OF THINGS.
/s
Apparently trying to keep up with GitHub. Gonna take plenty more where that came from to hit that.
Good riddance, I say. Who needs 'em.
