    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.

      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.

      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.

          Any product name that needs a voice file to explain itself is a bad name 🤦 what were they thinking?

            Let me guess: You think everyone needs to speak english?

            Imagine seething at words in a language you don’t speak because you don’t speak it

              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.

                “i, in all of my infinite wisdom and knowledge, knower of four languages, cant pronounce word therefore bad marketing” 😭

                seriously why do you care so much about the marketing ability of a foss tool? they arent selling it?

              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.

    I still find the name weird. Let’s do something fun here; Comment what YOU think ForgeJo should be called instead

      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.

      Can access fine (with reduced functionality) on my end with JS disabled - maybe you have something else tripping it up or something?

          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.

      (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)

          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.
