Some thoughts on personal Git hosting

news.ycombinator.com Terence Eden 2025-09-28 23:01:55

As part of my ongoing (and somewhat futile) efforts to ReDeCentralise, I'm looking at moving my personal projects away from GitHub. I already have accounts with GitLab and CodeBerg - but both of those sites are run by someone else. While they're lovely now, there's nothing stopping them becoming as slow or AI-infested as GitHub. So I want to host my own Git instance for my personal projects. I'm experimenting with https://git.edent.tel/ It isn't quite self-hosted; I'm paying PikaPod €2/month t

Apple wants you to believe the future of travel fits neatly inside your AirPods. At Apple's "awe dropping" event on Sept. 9, the tech giant unveiled the AirPods Pro 3, introducing a range of features like heart rate sensing, "world's best" active noise canceling and the headline-grabbing Live Translation, a feature that lets you hear another language instantly translated into your own, in real time.

Inside the Man vs. Machine Hackathon

wired.com Kylie Robison 2025-10-03 20:00:00

On a breezy San Francisco afternoon last Saturday, I found myself at a nondescript coworking space filled with shoeless coders. Just over a hundred visitors had crowded into an office building in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood for a showdown that would pit teams armed with AI coding tools against those made up of only humans (all were asked to ditch their shoes at the door). The hackathon was dubbed “Man vs. Machine,” and its goal was to test whether AI really does help people code faster—and

How External Attack Surface Management helps enterprises manage cyber risk

Every day, businesses spin up new digital services (websites, APIs, and cloud instances) and it can be for security teams to keep track. Somewhere in that churn, an unmonitored subdomain or misconfigured bucket lurks, waiting for an opportunistic attacker to slip in. External Attack Surface Management (EASM) flips the script: instead of reacting to breaches, you map and monitor every internet‑facing asset continuously.

Netflix’s Jenna Ortega-led second season of Wednesday, while released in an annoyingly incremental fashion, has given fans tons of thrills and fast-favorite moments, including the extremely hyped arrival of one Mother Monster, Lady Gaga. Among the more astonishing moments in the season so far, however, are the visual effects and prosthetic designs—including a zombie and putting Christopher Lloyd’s head in a jar.

Valve’s Steam Deck for Your Face Is Way More Interesting Than a Quest Clone

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-06 12:46:50

The consensus is clear. Regular folk and gamers alike couldn’t give a hoot for yet another Meta Quest-like VR headset. Hell, even the “metaverse is the future” company Meta seems more interested in smart glasses than headsets nowadays. That may change if Valve has anything to say about it. Even if you’re not a VR gaming enthusiast, there’s more than one reason you should pay attention to Valve’s long-rumored wireless XR headset.

However, besides providing answers, it can also carry out tasks (for example, finding an apartment that meets specified criteria within a certain budget). It does this by breaking tasks down into steps, then using a cloud-based virtual machine equipped with a browser and other tools to execute them—perusing websites, filling in forms, and so on.

After they’re brought to life in film or TV, the change becomes notable, and nowhere is it more apparent than with the Avengers. They’ve always been a key superhero team, but they were elevated to a higher position thanks to the MCU and Marvel not owning fellow high-profile teams, the X-Men and Fantastic Four, and actively working to downplay them throughout comics and other media.
