On January 1, 2026, GitHub will reduce the price of GitHub-hosted runners by up to 39% depending on the machine type used. The free usage minute quotas will remain the…
I like your comment because I always feel like I’m so late with news that someone will always point out why my suggestion is bad or even worse than the original.
But: atleast with gitlab you can partially* self host it if they are/get bad.
*afaik gitlab’s SaaS (gitlab.com) isn’t entirely open-source. Not sure which bits can not be self hosted.
There are two editions of Gitlab - community edition (completely open source) and enterprise edition (closed source additions). You can run CE completely free. You can actually run EE completely free too, there are just some features disabled
Sure, but you were talking about gitlab being terrible. I made a comment about one of its shortcomings (which isn’t terrible, but not great either). If you wanted something terrible about gitlab’s devops, you should said so.
Time to move to Codeberg or Forgejo, or self-host a bare git repo.
Or Gitlab. Unless Gitlab is terrible for some reason.

You can run it self hosted and self host runners, some features are paywalled but you can work around them.

That’s what I am saying, you can run it free just without some of the enterprise features.

Yep, just clariftying what that means in terms of open source too, which i know folks here care about
OH, I didn’t recognize the differentiation in your comment.
Makes sense.
Gtlab will never implement federation on their own. ForgeJo is working on it as we speak.
Okay. The article isn’t about how GitHub isn’t federating.
