so i have stumbled upon a forge called codefloe. it is apparently designed to compete with codeberg.

first impressions are... not great. here is the homepage viewed in firefox ESR.

i reported this to the owner who was dismissive and a bit of a cunt actually.

wouldn't recommend this site.

also, for god's sake do not block bots by real browser user agent, that is not security.

honestly the hilarity of being told to upgrade my browser in 2026. it didn't work in 2006

@dysfun The fuck would a website block an old browser for anyway?

@[email protected] @[email protected] Because we value security and by that policy also block malicious bots which come with outdated browser versions. If there's another LTS-browser version we didn't allowlist yet, you can let us know.

@dysfun "403 Browser Update Required" is a new one to me.

If you update your browser as required, will it respond with a "404 Found"?

@FenTiger for obvious reasons, i'm not able to test this theory.

but it's fine, i'm perfectly welcome to not use the site.
