Employer Requiring Full Names in GitHub

On Employer Requiring Employees' Full Legal Names in GitHub

Let's open with a vignette.

Imagine a company offers a parking lot to all its employees, but in order for employees to use this parking lot, they must affix a large vinyl graphic with their full legal name on the rear window of the car, on the sides of the car, and on the hood of the car.

Omnibus GitLab CE on a Weak Instance
################################################################################
## Omnibus GitLab CE on Tiny Instance (1vCPU, 1GB RAM)
## - These changes (for gitlab.rb) allow CE to run reliably below min sys reqs.
## - Total memory should be >= 2GB, so a ~1GB swapfile is recommended.
## - These changes do NOT provide smooth operation/UX, so use wisely(/alone).
################################################################################

## GitLab Unicorn
