    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.

          lemmy.zip is agressively blocking VPNs.

          I’m using a ProtonVPN server in Marseille and it’s the only domain I absolutely can’t visit (I have a lot of captchas otherwise though)

            We dont actually block VPNs, but we do block ASNs where we get abuse traffic. Just so happens that Proton VPNs servers in France are on that ASN.

              Don’t know why I expected something interesting from the Brits but I looked at lemmy.zip posts and was a bit disappointed. Is there a list of the websites blocked in the UK maybe with rates and comments what you definitely should not visit and such?

      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.

          Oh I see what you’re talking about. I thought you meant the link to fffmpegs forgejo site rather than the crosspost link.

          Maybe it’s just the app I’m using, but sync was able to redirect me to the Open source community that this was originally posted to. (It’s hosted on lemmy.ml, but the poster is from Lemmy.zip, which is why the post link is Lemmy.zip).

          When I open via browser though, I see the OSA block that you’re referring too… An interesting difference for sure. But I suppose if all posts from lemmy.zip were blocked, we wouldn’t be seeing this one either, so I’m guessing it’s just post shares that won’t work?

            Well it seems that the title is fetched and when you click to visit then it is geoblocked…
            I mean I get the idea, and it is fine (if I wanted to I’d magically move to another country) but it was more a point that federation for geoblocked stuff is kinda borked (not in a bad way)

      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.

          Forgejo is developped on Codeberg, which runs on Forgejo

          Codeberg is the “demo” Forgejo instance is where they develop the software (Forgejo)

          Forgejo is a fork of Gitea which is pretty well known. They forked out of fear because Gitea got bought and is now a for-profit iirc

          Codeberg is a service. Forgejo is a platform.

              I wouldn’t call that “seething”, the project is targeting an English speaking audience (English is the source, other languages are translation targets), effectively no one is a native speaker of Esperanto, and it’s usage is small enough that someone could quite possibly never encounter the language.
              Bad project names are common enough in programming and open source, and complained about, that I wouldn’t jump right to xenophobia as the reason someone might complain that a project picked a name knowing it would be difficult to pronounce.

              They can name it whatever they want, but getting that angry that someone didn’t recognize a word in an anglisiced spelling of a word from a niche language is uncalled for.

              Your assumptions betray you. I speak 4 languages fluently/natively and two-three more poorly. English is not my native language.

              This is not about language, but about marketing. Thank you.

      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.

          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…

      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.

        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)

          I’m trying to take a progress over perfection approach to these things. My number one priority was to get off of Chrome and Firefox is pretty rough on mobile. I tried a few things and Brave was the one with the best experience, especially because of the ad blocking without needing to mess around with a bunch of plugins. I figure I can go deeper into that iceberg over time. What do you use?

            Really? I am using Firefox on mobile (Android) and I’d say it’s pretty much fine for most of what I use it for.
            Plugins (DarkReader, ublock, TWP) work very well and the overall experience is totally acceptable.
            Recently even 3rd party passkey support was enabled, stopping google from intercepting the requests.

          Because the other browsers have less features, and the other owners suck as well. As for the browser itself, Brave it probably the best chrome-based one out there for desktop
