Depending on what your needs and available resources are, GitLab is fairly heavy especially in comparison to Forgejo.

Well, someone is certainly not having a Happy New Year heh.
Meanwhile others are absolutely over the moon celebrating 🎉
I very rarely used to, and now I absolutely don’t ever since I pre-ordered Anthem…


I mean technically, yes. However the sheer amount of LoC chromium has and the costs of actually hard forking (and properly maintaining it) makes it quite difficult. That’s why right now we only have the choice of Firefox based browsers and Chromium, then hopefully a good third contender being the Ladybird browser in the future.
You could also go build a house (or even a cabin) with your own two hands, but most people typically go and buy one or pay for one to be built for them instead.
No worries at all! I battled with that choice for a while when I was self hosting. I had already been so deep into using GitLab CI that it would’ve been a pain to migrate to Forgejo Actions, though to be fair when I had setup GitLab the Actions system didn’t actually exist yet.
And if you plan to expose it to the Internet, GitLab being a much larger project has more potential security issues to keep up with which is another important note.
(Though as always when publicly exposing services to the Internet, keep up with patches either way and stay safe!)
