some fun misinformation here. yes, if you have already paid off your car, it will be cheaper to continue paying elevated prices for gas than to buy a new car. yes, FAST charging stations are more rare than gas pumps.

NO, you aren't buying a new EV battery every 3-5 years. I've driven an EV for 4 years now and the battery is under warranty for another 100k miles still. Even if it wasn't there is ample evidence that batteries last significantly longer than people think.

NO, you will not be going to a fast charger as often as you go to a gas pump unless you cannot charge where you live. even a 10a 220v outlet will often charge more than someone drives in a day overnight.

EVs are the future, so its good to be educated instead of listening to the posts like this one.

you can self host gitlab too, and its free. yes, you CAN buy a license, but you can run it free forever. you can also use their SaaS free forever too.

at least right now, I think it's the best alternative, though I completely understand people wanting to favor OSS.

disclaimer: I have contributed code to gitlab, but I am NOT an employee.

So far, yes. A large part of this is likely because GitLab is not hosted on Azure

i hit a deer with my rivian r1t at 75. the deer walked away a bit then toppled over. the crumple zone of the truck was not happy, but no part of the deer was missing

this is... an interesting argument. as an EV driver, you're essentially saying 'I want giant signs and chargers on every corner' which is how you'd find them without needing a map. this seems unlikely to really ever happen because we simply have better options now, but I guess we'll see.

This is a horrible way to look at this because it discourages future disclosures. If anything, this disclosure indicates this company is trustworthy and learns from their mistakes with honest disclosures when things go wrong. The type of behavior we all wish every vendor had.

I have no need for their product, but if I was using them this would make me feel better, not worse.

The issue here is that cyber security folks seem to forget that fundamentally security is insurance. The goal is to pay the least youb can to prevent issues.

The number of times I've talked to CSOs or CISOs that want every piece of data in their seim or extremely strict controls is innumerable. If your spend all your budget on tools and data you have no budget for people. Its better to actually understand your risk posture and plan accordingly.

However, thats boring. Just like devs want to use kubernetes for their 5 user site, security folks want the shiniest endpoint protections. Resume driven development and resume driven security are real, and in a world where there is more direct cost and fewer discreet deliverables, its likely felt more on security.

All good - theyre still funny :) . just because they're AI doesn't make them bad

The watermark in the lower right of each image is the Gemini watermark. Definitely AI

I have disappointing news for you: https://www.sciencenordic.com/agriculture-animals-climate/disappointed-scientists-damn-kangaroos-fart-methane/1371658

Note - you can completely disable all the AI features in Gitlab. In fact, they're disabled by default unless you explicitly enable them by configuring model integrations. I think its one of the better self hosted options because it had a clear maintenance and path to profitability.

I run my own GitLab on a NUC with no issues.
