* You can actually have an organisational structure (folders/namespaces), and projects can be moved around with automatic redirects. Also, inheritance of access controls, variables between the namespaces
* GitLabCI is organised in a way that makes supply chain attacks less of a risk. GitHub Actions takes the NPM/JS approach, where every step is an action, one you usually need to get off someone, with shoddy versioning, tons of transient dependencies, etc. In GitLabCI you can have templates, but you don't have to use an external template for every bit. It's shell scripting on top of containers, so you can have custom container images with your stuff, or custom scripts, or templates that bundle it all.
Its a problem they know about, but have no plan to fix before 2027.
Thus, we're moving off GitLab.

It's not DNS
There's no way it's DNS
It was DNS
- SSBroskiIronically, both Nandu and Verdaccio are implemented in Tyepscript and install via npm.
(Same logic obviously applies to Python packages, Docker images, etc.)
I took that for granted back then and just assumed it was standard enterprise policy

They seem to be doing a pretty good job at wrecking both GitHub and npm at the same time.
