From that page: > Will my code be used for training AI models? > GitLab does not train generative AI models based on private (non-public) data. The vendors we work with also do not train models based on private data. So they will steal your code if it is public, ignoring license. Understood.

I’ve been feeling more and more that we should reconsider open source licenses to protect our rights as authors from LLM vendors. I’m not against them basing their models on my work. I do have reservations on them generating their models on my work and creating derivative works without respecting the license. It’s why I’ve started to use the MIT license less and less and have adopted various from the GPL family. Mode…

AI companies believe copyright doesn't apply and all this is fair use or transformative enough. If copyright doesn't apply they are not bound by license terms either.

The license in your repo is entirely meaningless when you grant an exclusive license to places like GitLab and GitHub to "display" your code.

You're obviously not posting in good faith, but their docs are CC-BY-SA, and I comply with the terms. Bro.

Gitlab really should stop adding features: the thing is bloated with tons of menus and options that most users don't use or understand. PMs seem to need to do PM, stop them, listen to tech people.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Soft serve is lighter still. https://github.com/charmbracelet/soft-serve

not sure how lightweight any of these are, but https://gitolite.com/gitolite/ just needs git and ssh deployed. And it works like a charm.

running all my homelab / private repos off of a tiny gitolite3 server, and i'm always amazed that it all runs on an alpine linux VM that uses 75mb of RAM.

for anything even just sharing with friends or whatnot i won't recommend it though, people do love their web-UI and having to explicitly give someone access can turn off people already.

No link to license: non-compliant. Less theft, less lying about compliance, more compliance please.

Back to self hosting my code. Side note: Gitlab is one of the few companies to provide a self hosted version of their VCS. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/install/requirements.html Also gitea is a much more lightweight option and can use sqlite for db. Much easier to deploy on a rpi

Are you concerned at all about the raspi’s sd card corrupting/failing? I’d feel like this would always be at the back of my mind

I run my rp5 off of nvme

for private use or even small teams it's way too late for that, but honestly it seems they're just focusing on enterprise use and i'm kinda glad something open source and self-hostable for that market exists. we're already wayy too dependent on microsoft, but at least my workplace's code can stay local for now.

I just want a copilot-like autocomplete and chat plugin that uses the standard oai api so I can hook it up to any local model.
