This is a note to people moving their repositories blindly to Gitlab.org: do you know Google is actually a huge investor in Gitlab?
The issue is not about Microsoft buying Github. The issue is about centralization and silos.
You do not solve that by moving your data from one silo to another.
You solve that by relying on small providers you can trust, or by becoming a provider yourself.
@eliotberriot one upside of Gitlab is that it's open, so you can stand up your own instance if Google starts pulling shit.
Not an option with Github
@jjg @eliotberriot That's true, but Gitlab is heavyweight and probably not the sort of thing you can host on an ARM board.
@bob @jjg @eliotberriot there is also gitea as a lightweight alternative FYI
@rugk I will be checking that out, thanks!
