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?
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
