So... I think it's high time to start planning an exodus.

Is there a good alternative to GitHub?

I have two types of repos, a few public open-source projects for which I require:

Basic git stuff ofc, PRs, forks, etc.
Issues
Automatic scanning for security vulnerabilities like GH does
CI on PRs and nightly CRON based, free and allowing both cloud-hosted runners and adding self-hosted runners
Ability to host a static documentation site

Plus private ones where I don't need any bells and whistles, just a git hoster for myself and no one else.

Is there something free that provides these things and doesn't suck? If I go to GitLab's page then it says:

so that's fucked too now, huh

Re the GitLab marketing: what does it mean, what toolchains are they referring to, and what is "native AI"? Does that even mean anything, or is it just marketing gibberish to impress executives?

GitLab Duo named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI Code Assistants.

“beware, for I am a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™” is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect an evil wizard to scream moments before I hit him in the head with a mace
