Syncthing supports transferring data via untrusted relays (used when two nodes cannot communicate directly) and also supports storing data encrypted on untrusted nodes (those nodes cannot decrypt the data)
The quota includes not just the git repo, but also other services that gitlab offers. In particular the container and package registries are easy to setup in a way that accumulates a lot of data (e.g. by building and tagging a docker image in every commit and not cleaning up old images).
In most cases this will be a misconfiguration and all the quota enforcement is doing is to force people to configure their projects a bit more considerate.
As far as I know, the quota itself isn't new, it just wasn't enforced in the past.
That other movie is Threads (1984), the scene you describe is in the trailer and the full movie is available at archive.org (https://archive.org/details/threads_202007)
23 euro cents * 1000 is 230 Euros, not 23. But that is still a factor of 1000 lower then the prices mentioned in https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy19osti/73222.pdf and other web publications. Are you sure about those numbers and what kind of storage do they refer to?
Right now, the second example is an actual example of this

I know that having to go through multiple troubleshooting steps and not having any of them work can be a real pain, especially when you have more important things to be doing.” Lastly, let them know that you have been looking into the issue and that you think it should be resolved: “That being said, I think we might have gotten to the bottom of this."

They forgot to remove the instruction text before replying, I guess this is the modern equivalent of the forgotten Post It note in the bedbug letter.
Are you worried about (cargo-)theft? The way I imagine it:
- (assumption) it takes less criminal energy to steal something when no human observer is around
- lonely road in the middle of nowhere
- well known driving behaviour means it is easy to stop (overtake, then slow down to a halt?)
- enable mobile phone jammer (optional)
- take cargo
Right, IIUC, the stated goal is to reach some standardization (https://www.w3.org/WoT/) for IoT communication. Which, in my opinion would be great for users if it panned out. It is not an ideal situation that people that prefer to control their IoT devices themselves need to rely on a myriad of integration plugins for hass. But I'm not hopeful that this will gain the required industry traction
How is Mozilla gathering personal data from people using WebThings? When I tried WebThings Gateway a few months back, it did not seem to collect/send personal data off site. It allows you to create a public endpoint as a subdomain of mozilla-iot.org for easy off site access (https://github.com/mozilla-iot/wiki/wiki/Gateway-Remote-Acce...) which would allow some tracking I assume, but in general I have noticed no hidden data collection as your comment implies.
