GitLab is sounding like a very silly endeavor, indeed.
Ya it sucks because I use their stuff. Hopefully they don't lose everything.
LOL, you called that one!
Luckily I just use the product. I don't host anything with them. But his makes me think I need to find anothersolution . I looked at Gogs but you can't do in line comments (the last time I looked a few months ago). I might have to take another look.

I'm using Gogs now. What do you mean by inline comments?

With gitlab you can do a comment on the whole commit or a comment on a single line of the commit. I think another reason was because of the merge request system. I really liked how theirs works.

Fortunately, in Open Source, liking the project you use counts for a lot, lol.

GitLab will probably need to focus on their on prem systems now.

LVM snapshots are by default only taken once every 24 hours.
So the only use for LVM I can imagine here is they are using logical volumes for the VM storage. Do they really need that? A preallocated QCOW2 gives close to raw speed, I have a hard time believing they need that.
Plus what machine was the snapshot taken from? I thought they were using Ceph for the storage? That was the whole point of them moving to self hosted.

Omg I missed this absurdity from the original article:
We are also attempting to move GitLab application servers and supporting services (e.g. PostgreSQL) to bare metal.

So I just took a look at it again. Can you still not make comments even on a full commit? I can't find a way to do it at all and it seems people are still asking for it. This seems like a big feature that would be a priority.

RhodeCode looks interesting. https://rhodecode.com/

I thought that it was a full move to bare metal, no VMs at all any more. Or very few, at least.

Yeah, out of their minds.
