This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
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.
I apparently got blocked by their anti bot system on mobile
I guess I'm out of the loop: why do ppl hate forgejo?
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.
They probably don't. If you see a sudden FUD, it could be astroturfing.
I've never seen anyone hate on forgejo.
Why do you think prople hate Forgejo?
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?
I still find the name weird. Let's do something fun here; Comment what YOU think ForgeJo should be called instead
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”?
YoForge
Read like "Science, bitch!"
For Joe
For Gay Joe
Both are fine by me
