Self-host your git, take this as a sign.

Forgejo is great.

You'd be surprised how far you can get with self-hosted Gitea.

Using Tangled for my stuff now, it's alpha, but it's a bit fun to host your own Knot and Spindle servers but still connect to a full social graph.

I find these takes funny. One day you will leave or get let go and someone will be like “finally we can move to a proper system”

I just look at the pricing and really start thinking about is it really multi hundred euro a year per seat product... Frankly as consumer those pricing levels just seems like distanced from reality.

I don't know if that really solves your problem if the main trunk of development for gitlab is being run through several AI slop machines before they push it to what they call stable, then you download that (or use a debian, redhat package for gitlab which originated from it) and self host on your own machine the results of the AI slop fest.
