Yes, I need to check it again! 🙂

it also wont benefit from updated dependency packages

If they maintain the binary properly, could cause less issues with dependencies compatibility, so it’s less pain for the DevOps team, like a container image, just pull the new image and done.

Well, this way they could install dependencies anyway just automatically, so you don’t see them unless you read before accepting the installation. I still can read this:

Install and configure the necessary dependencies
sudo yum install -y curl policycoreutils-python openssh-server perl

And then:

Add the GitLab package repository and install the package
curl https://packages.gitlab.com/install/repositories/gitlab/gitlab-ee/script.rpm.sh | sudo bash

So they do some magic here, the script just installs the repository, so I can’t see exactly any dependency they are currently using.

Forgejo can use PostgreSQL perfectly → https://forgejo.org/docs/latest/admin/installation/#postgresql-database

Looking at it, I see the following…

GitLab’s deps:

sudo apt-get install -y libcurl4-openssl-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev libpcre2-dev build-essential git-core

Forgejo deps:

apt install git git-lfs

I am missing something?

Microsoft? I mean GitLab employees, they were just linking me and showing me their CI/CD examples that I already knew… was a bit of waste of time the meeting I did with them…

I had bad experience with GitLab people, they were saying things that I already knew and was at their documentation, so I felt like losing time with them.

Now that you both mentioned yeah, thanks for mentioning it, I want to try this again.

I heard Gitea planned to do ActivityPub too, but I didn’t like their application, and also I didn’t like Woodpicker-CI which was very limited some years ago, I lost much time learning and trying to do the same as I do with GitLab-CI and couldn’t. But, I need to try Woodpicker-CI again to see if I can do it now.

I didn’t know about Forgejo, thanks to mention it, I’m sure I will try it very soon, and Woodpicker-CI. 😆

Actually, I also got back to GitLab when I read this: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/activitypub/

Usage of ActivityPub in GitLab is governed by the GitLab Testing Agreement.

The goal of those documents is to provide an implementation path for adding Fediverse capabilities to GitLab.

I think this is the way, while using Codeberg would mean storing my code and my stuff on someone else computer, I trust them, but I just want to have it by myself.

EDIT: Ok, people already told me Codeberg uses a fork called Forgejo and I can host it myself, which sounds super cool.

I tried Codeberg, but I dislike a lot the Woodpecker-CI (a fork from Drone-CI) and I had issues as when I tried it (a year ago) it was still on beta and on development while GitLab had a very powerful and robust CI, which is what made me quit Codeberg and get back to GitLab. 🥲

No, Apple don’t want to code a new logic, they already send any information any government requires, just via other methods.

I don’t understand why UK wants to force Apple to change the method to leak user data, USA just sends an email and Apple, without checking anything else, sends all the data to the government. So why they can’t do the same?
