No, GDPR just forced website owners to air their dirty laundry. You don't need a cookie popup. See Basecamp.com, github.com etc. You only need one if you're asking the user for more data than is necessary to provide the service.

Well, I refuse to use Javascript because I hate it, and it's ecosystem, and I've managed to do just fine job-wise. I think not doing JS is still an option.

Is there an RPi alternative (ie. similar size, form etc.) that has better IO/Network speed? I used RPis for my robot ( https://sendc.at/dl/Kjjbt3dij6T733YgWsyv3p3Vv5GPGKO1q5IEFStV... ) with daughter boards for motor

As an end user I've been pretty happy with it. I've used Jenkins, Travis, Github and Circle mostly, and of those I hope to never have to use Travis or Jenkins again, and I've only really used Github for some simple stuff, but

Github Enterprise is on-premises: https://github.com/enterprise That only really leaves the fact that its OSS that differentiates Gitlab in your list. Not comparing the two, just making sure you're aware.
