Selfhosting GitLab?
For self hosting there is also https://forgejo.org/ which is a fork of https://about.gitea.com/ , the latter of which started to shift to a corporate model.

How do I determine what a mystery dongle does? Edit: solved
Looks like a yubikey. You should be able to list usb devices and it would show up.

An AI-Generated Country Song Is Topping A Billboard Chart, And That Should Infuriate Us All

That doesn't surprise me too much. Have you seen Bo Burnham's Country Song, or SIX Song Country Mashup. All pop country sounds the same.

Passkeys Explained: The End of Passwords
Reply in thread
I think they are being pushed because cool technology on paper. Whenever I read an article about them, I can't help but think about the human factors. How are passkeys created, often by a password or email. okay... that looks a lot like a password. Oh you lost the passkey, here lets send you one again. It stinks of a second factor without a first. Sure, the passkey itself is hard to compromise, but how about its creation. If your email is compromised I see no difference from passwords or passkeys.

Trump admin tries to kill the most indisputable evidence of human-caused climate change by shuttering observatory
... but the administration would steer it instead towards being more focused on operational weather forecasting and warning responsibilities.
Even for self serving goals and ignoring the future, don't you need accurate climate models to accurately forecast the weather and issue warnings?

Assuming he believes his words (as opposed to using rhetoric to get what he or someone around him wants, in either case unfortunately, I think he's serious). I think he sees anything purchased from another country as "subsidizing" that country. To him, its money the US had that Canada now has. I sometimes think he somehow thinks the US should be given things, because...??? Every transaction has to have a "winner" and a "looser" and whoever has a + on the balance sheet is the winner, it doesn't matter what that + really means. (I can only bend my logic so far to try to figure these things out)

Update Regarding Pawb.Social Media Loss
I give to the Internet archive every year, I get a lot of use from them and they deserve it.
Things happen, the fact you were able to recover after a mistake is good.
If you didn't already know Asonix (creator of pict-rs) is here on the fediverse, and a furry, I'm sure they can help with the pict-rs stuff.
Something else strange is going on. My profile picture is still there at https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/7c611a5a-efd6-4df3-99cb-5c484978c254.png , but the format link from pict-rs is broken. https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/7c611a5a-efd6-4df3-99cb-5c484978c254.png?format=webp , https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/7c611a5a-efd6-4df3-99cb-5c484978c254.png?format=webp&thumbnail=96 , Spot checking has similar results for other images. https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/bb4749ec-590a-41c2-8b26-9d26dae4ed00.png?format=webp&thumbnail=96 (the original exists)
Pict-rs does support admin direct upload with a specific name, but its been a while and I don't remember the details.

'We've all done this': Trump admin group chat scandal is its most relatable fail
umm, no. I use work chats for work, and personal chats for personal. I might accidentally add the wrong colleague to a work chat, or wrong friend to a personal chat, but I'm never going to accidentally add a friend to a work chat because I don't mix work and personal chats.

The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account.
Its not this simple, it looks like this to me on my fairly locked down browser (firefox), but on a fresh profile (image attached), that page is populated. I assume its a cookie setting, as I see the same behavior when I turn off tracking protection and ad blockers. I didn't play around beyond that.

Trump voter surprised trump is doing exactly what he said he would do
Reply in thread
I don't know I've though about "rule of law" quite that way before. I'll have to add it to my list for when it comes up. There are several other terms that mean different things to different people (I wish I remembered a specific one to demonstrate). Its one of the reasons its hard to have political discussion online. You have to determine what the words your using mean, before you can start arguing the points.

Even if everyone was on full wets, they bring it out for visibility and hydroplaning. I think that's part of the reason no one switched to full wets. They knew if conditions got bad enough to need them, the SC would come out and there might be a red flag too.

US justice department plans to push Google to sell off Chrome browser
Reply in thread
I don't know if this is part of the case, but browsers basically control standards, and with the size of chrome, that means google controls the standards. The browser is a big aspect of the ad pipeline. Because they have the browser they could direct page views to themselves more than they do by using amp links. Even with blocking cookies and such, chrome still sends data back to google. There was the whole logon scheme they were pushing (I don't remember the name) that only chrome would be able to do. There is a lot you can direct to yourself if you control the main access method.

Morning talk show hosts are a strange bunch
What gets me, is they seem like 90%+ advertising and pop culture (probably paid promotions), yet they pass themselves off as news.
