    Self-hosted Gitlab is great. A lot of the US government uses this via bigbang if familiar. Designing things with an "airgap" in mind and control of your services is paramount in to…

    When we cancelled, I found it interesting that there was no place for a comment. My back-of-the-napkin theory, in-line with this post, is that they don't want the data to be availa…
