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 think another reason was because of the merge request system. I really liked how theirs works.

 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.

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