I still find the name weird. Let’s do something fun here; Comment what YOU think ForgeJo should be called instead
YoForge
Read like “Science, bitch!”
FoSho! They were so close!
I’d have a read but I’m in the UK…
I’m in the UK and was fine for me. Have you left your porn vpn on?
You sure that the issue is geographical? I’m in the UK and was able to access the site without using a VPN or anything like that.
Is forgejo federated yet?
Not yet They are working on it You can keep an eye on the development through monthly reports https://forgejo.org/tag/report/
I guess I’m out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
They probably don’t. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
Probably just the weird name. It makes it feel like someone’s weekend personal project.
I use it to self-host my own code and it works great, I’m totally moved off GitHub now.
I don’t even know how to pronounce it. Forge Joe? For Gay Ho?
Any product name that needs a voice file to explain itself is a bad name 🤦 what were they thinking?
Forgejo (/forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ – inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge)
Rijndael is pronounced AES.
Yeah, this is news to me. I think Codeberg runs on Forgejo, and just the other day people were singing its praises when GitHub became part of Microsoft’s AI team. This feels like a sudden shift.
Another git repository is hosted not on itself?
Seems like a weird choice.That’s like the CEO from Microsoft going on stage with a MacBook.
Codeberg is a service. Forgejo is a platform.
It’s more like how a warehouse company doesn’t build its own forklifts.
Personally uaong forgejo myself and it has been smooth sailing for ages! This is the first time ive ever seen people taking a stance against it, though the ones in the comments sidnt seem to have a good argument.
Nice, hope they set up their own branding on their instance at some point
Questionable move
It’s an open-source repository management platform that they’re self-hosting. What on earth could possibly be questionable about it?!
Self-hosting is good. Modern software is trash
What a dumb statement.
Ughhh. It’s git. Same technology.
It’s worth learning a bit more about technology.
Modern software like Lemmy, for instance?
Isn’t it just git? What’s the difference?
git is just the source control. Pull requests, web front-end, a central server that is a single point-of-truth with policy enforcement, issue management, etc. do not come in the box with git.
GitHub provides that, as do Gitlab and others. GitHub is a Microsoft product, and MS is getting scary with the AI push.
ForgeJo is self-hosted and simple.
Why
That server software probably modern trash
Why is it probably trash
So you don’t know what you’re talking about is what you’re saying?
So “I don’t know but I’m going to shit on it anyway”
Website written by an asshole tho - crawler protection that excludes browsers without javascript enabled.
You’re the asshole for expecting an open source project to have to spend all their time supporting every possible niche browser/configuration, rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use.
Yeah same, I’m on Brave and Anubis is blocking me. Not hating on them for using Anubis though. It is unfortunate that it’s blocking me nonetheless.
(Inb4 I am told to commit sudoku for using Brave, yes I know the owner sucks)
If you know, why still use it?
Not like theres a bazillion other chrome browsers and you could probably use any other browser (depending on the add-ons you really need)
Can access fine (with reduced functionality) on my end with JS disabled - maybe you have something else tripping it up or something?
Dunno, it is th duckduckgo browser for Android (from F-Droid store) on default settings that failed to access…
Seems like something else tripping it up. Just tested with DDG Browser from F-Droid. Passed the bot test, no issues. Did have to reload the page once for it to render properly though. After that, worked just fine. Aggressive DNS ad blocker, maybe?
My bad, I should have read the error better (although I could have sworn it was complaining about javascript before, I probably misremember): The actual error is
Missing feature Cookies
Still, that is on default settings…
Try contacting the Forgejo admin, they can enable the HTTP meta refresh challenge, though it does have a higher false positive rate. https://anubis.techaro.lol/docs/admin/configuration/challenges/metarefresh
