Making a digital camera is a project that appears easy enough, but it’s one whose complexity increases depending on the level to which a designer is prepared to go. At the simplest a Raspberr…
It has light mode by default and a UI that I find to be really unintuitive, but what really bothers me is that ppl go from one for-profit git host to another for-profit git host when things like Codeberg exist. With GitHub you could at least argue that you can turn your hobby project into a job since it has a huge userbase and stuff like github sponsors, but what does gitlab offer for you?
I get why ppl would use something other than github, but why do they have to torture me with gitlab?

TL;DR: It’s not Codeberg
GitLab is open source and you can self-host it.

Gitlab is a security nightmare. They have zero conception how to write secure code and they don’t care to learn.
I was looking for a link to the previous CVEs I was aware of and there is yet another one that is new to me: https://thehackernews.com/2024/09/urgent-gitlab-patches-critical-flaw.html
This is not a serious service to be hosting source code on.
