Lots of layoffs ("re-evaluating our operational footprint") and switching to "agentic" processes. Target user is AI.

Anyone still hosting Gitlab?

lol I just created my gitlab account today to get away from github and after reading this the account has been scheduled for deletion and now I have a new account with Codeberg. When are these dipshits going to learn that we don't want AI in our workflows? I am capable of breaking things on my own, but at least when I break things I will learn from it.

    Yeah I could do that, I have never done it before though which is why I was looking for another remote to use. Are there any good guides/tools out there you would recommend?

    Can you clarify something about self-hosting for me please. If I want to collaborate with other people on self-hosted a git repo, do I need to have a static IP or a router device that is compatible with services like noip, and open up ports which opens up my local network to constant attacks from outside it?

    It is usually easier to rent a vps with a domain to run as a reverse proxy or a tunneling server between your server and users. Dynamic DNS and static IPs depend on the internet provider offering real outbound access and not a NAT. Plus any internet facing service should be hardened for security in some way, which it is usually provided in service packages for the vps.
