FFmpeg moves to Forgejo
(code.ffmpeg.org)
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.
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.
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 don't even know how to pronounce it. Forge Joe? For Gay Ho?
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
Looks like it's time to switch.
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
Is forgejo federated yet?
They made a comment on one of their recent blog posts that dealing with the ai onslaught on codeberg has delayed work on federation.
I still find the name weird. Let's do something fun here; Comment what YOU think ForgeJo should be called instead
I like Esperanto, should stay imo
Forge
NeoForge
Fabric
Quilt
On one hand, I kind of agree, on another that is at least somewhat a generic term for a gitlab/gitea/github/sourceforce/forgejo/etc, so it might be harder to search.
yeah, it should be more unique….
how about “forgey mcforgerton”?
Geordi LaForge
Laforge is an awesome name, especially for a French company.
Website written by an asshole tho - crawler protection that excludes browsers without javascript enabled.
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...
