I hadn't heard of Forgejo, although I realize now that I have seen repositories using it before. I think it's cool that they even have statically linked binaries of it but it's a bit concerning that like an entire web server is built in because what if there's vulnerabilities? I guess if you regularly stayed up to date it's not too bad then.
Edit: Oh, sounds like it's a fork of Gitea which I have heard of before, interesting.
-
i mean, the web server in question is the Go standard library. if there is a vuln in there we have bigger problems, considering it's also used by the docker binary.
-
Interesting. Wonder why they forked gitea
-
Because the Codeberg folk didn’t like the idea of relying on a product made by a for profit company. https://blog.codeberg.org/codeberg-launches-forgejo.html

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!"
-
For Joe
For Gay Joe
Both are fine by me
-
FoSho! They were so close!
-
I pronounced it the Spanish way in my head.
-
I like Esperanto, should stay imo
-
ForMe

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/
-
They made a comment on one of their recent blog posts that dealing with the ai onslaught on codeberg has delayed work on federation.

-
Nice, hope they set up their own branding on their instance at some point
-
I apparently got blocked by their anti bot system on mobile
-
Website written by an asshole tho - crawler protection that excludes browsers without javascript enabled.
-
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
-
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.
-
Because disabling JS is unheard of in the open source world, right?
They implemented a feature that breaks the website for people who otherwise have no issues while providing no functional value to the site "rather than spending time building their actual product that people want to use."
It's one thing to expect them to do special work to support an uncommon configuration, and it's another to feel frustrated that they did extra work to break a less common but still unremarkable configuration.
I entirely support people not wanting bots to scrape their shit, but there's a handful of websites I use that use this specific blocking software and it frequently gets angry and blocks me if I'm on my phone for no good reason. It's annoying, and getting angry at the user for being upset that your website is broken is about the only thing more unreasonable than demanding that an open source developer do work for you for free.

Anubis is a PoW open source crawling/DDoS protection
Directly cloning should still be supported, I hope
-
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) -
Same problem here but JS is enabled
edit: cleared cookies and removed useragent spoofing in brave shields and it seemed to have worked

Questionable move
I guess I'm out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
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 that is not hosted on itself?
Seems like a weird choice.
That's like the CEO from Microsoft going on stage with a MacBook.
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?
For-j-o

They probably don't. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
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.
I've never seen anyone hate on forgejo.
Why do you think prople hate Forgejo?
