Oh no!

> The other possibility is that the system really is tilted in the favor of certain groups, and that has affected the distribution of power and wealth that you see in America today

Wrong.

There is another possibility, which is that once upon a time the system was severely tilted, and for various complex reasons there is a _massive_ multi-generational delay between leveling the system seeing the results of leveling the system.

Consider how difficult and unlikely it is for a low income white male living in a trailer with, say, alcoholic anti-intellectual parents to, say, become one of the wealthiest people in the country.

If we eliminated racism, we would not eliminate all of the factors that work against black children who are born into poverty.

Do you have a theory for Jews winning a disproportionate amount of Nobel prizes? Is "the system" rigged in their favour?

I'd say that it's a pretty easy choice. Pick the open source one.

I am usually in the Open Source camp, but I don't think the choice is so easy here. Not only does GitLab copy GitHub, it does so by relying on a lot of Open Source sofware written by GitHub and/or GitHub employees. You may like GitHub or not, but you cannot deny they contribute a lot to Open Source. I am not entirely sure how much that has changed since his resignation, but here is Tom Preston-Werner's position on Op…

That seems like a bizarre complaint, considering git itself is FOSS, initially written by Linus, and that GitHub's entire business is effectively built around hosting git repositories.

So one group holds all the power and success, but they are not superior. What's your definition of superiority?

Please do not use Cloudflare. Their 'protection' against privacy aware Tor users makes accessing sites through incredibly painful.

For what it's worth Cloudflare does not do anything different for Tor than for regular IPs. Since those are static pages with most likely not exactly questionable content the use of Tor is probably not all that important anyways that the total number of users that might be affected would be miniscule.

>the use of Tor is probably not all that important anyways

Who are you to decide that my use of Tor is not important enough?

Im still amazed how people actually have time for this SJW stuff in the actual real world.

Yes, how do you do it? It's gotten to the point where the use of SJW is just shorthand for "I know I'm wrong, I just preferred it when people knew their place"

In my experience, SJW is a term for people who are not actually working to improve the state of affairs of the world in terms of 'social justice', but rather people who have bought into a very specific, irrational, and blatantly hypocritical ideology.

This distasteful subculture really exists, and - as with anti-vaxxers, birthers, the chemtrail people, white supremacists and other irrational movements - it poses a fundamental threat to the values on which reasonable discourse is built. People who are immersed in SJW culture (as with those other subcultures just mentioned) become increasing comfortable rejecting reason and facts. Imo all thinking people ought to be at least as concerned about today's SJWs as they are about those other movements.

> GitLab Runners do not offer secure isolation between projects that they do builds for. You are TRUSTING all GitLab users who can push code to project A, B or C to run shell scripts on the machine hosting runner X. Not sure this sounds like the best idea.

Well, there is an issue for that[0]. Also, as of today[1], all shared Runners on GitLab.com are each on their own VM inside Docker containers, so that message does not apply for sure. [0] https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14732 [1] https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/05/shared-runners/

Exactly what I thought, so that message should probably be updated?

That's one option; they also offer strict SSL on both sides of the connection: https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/

How would that work if Github pages don't support SSL?

GitHub supports SSL for *.github.io so you can have your custom domain with SSL on CloudFlare, and CloudFlare can proxy https://example.github.io/... on the other side.

eg: End User https://example.com CloudFlare https://example.github.io

How would you do that without handing over your private keys? Otherwise gitlab couldn't serve your site. Also, as soon as you point an A record of your domain to somebodies server, they're able to get valid certificates through acme (which is probably what they do). If you don't trust somebody, don't point your domain to them.

> How would you do that without handing over your private keys? CloudFlare has that figured out https://www.cloudflare.com/keyless-ssl/

It depends on your goals.

If your goal is to tick a compliance box saying "no third-party has access to our private key" or "our private key never leaves our DC", then they have it figured out. If you want an additional barrier between your web server and your private key for Heartbleed-like vulnerabilities, this is also viable solution.

If your goal is to have end-to-end encryption between your server and a visitor, or hope this is going to protect you in case CloudFlare or GitLab are owned, then this isn't a real solution. CloudFlare has access to your session keys, and if they're owned, those can be logged and used to decrypt traffic. Even with a leaked private key, older sessions would be safe thanks to PFS ciphers, so Keyless SSL doesn't really change anything here.

Gitlab is still super slow even compared to young projects like gogs. I know many ppl who shied away for gitlab due to its slowness. If I was them, I would stop all copycat 'me too' features like ci/pages ect and put the resources to making it faster. This is a sign that their features are pritorized by business ppl who want to put features on their slides .

I just tried browsing some of the online repos, and I was impressed with how bad the loading delays were.
