Nice!
I actually recently set up my own Forgejo instance, and it's remarkably similar to GitHub, to the point where they share Github's "actions" code.
Congrats! More hosting diversity is a good thing.

Looks like a contributor was in a sanctioned region?

Yep I got one too. Works great and self hosted. I swear its actually faster than GH is nowadays.
And I like that it doesn't try to advertise and recommend a ton of repos to do you like GH does now.

Insane that Github blocked their entire development without discussing it with them though. Ban the contributor, not the entire open source project.

Sounds like an easy way to do unproportional damage to projects with a bit of location spoofing.

The releases page is just as easy to find!

GitHub has slowly become an advertising platform for repos more than anything. I miss what it was just a couple of years ago. It did exactly what you needed when you needed it. Now it's just so bloated

Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.

So wait.
GitHub is Microsoft?

I love that they have scoped labels while GitHub still doesn't

Yeah they bought them almost 10 years now?

Has been since 2018, and acquisition news caused quite an upset at the time.

I was very surprised to learn that .NET has an entire team in North Korea

Oh...I was interested until you said actions. What a terrible system for ci.

VS Code has a fully open source base which excludes proprietary extensions and default telemetry ( kind of his AOSP is for Android)

Not according to that thread - it looks like they don't yet know what caused it:

No any details from GitHub yet. One contributor mentioned a temporary visit to disputed areas a long time ago — GitHub probably just flagged the account, and their bots messed up after that.

And VSCodium is the project that releases builds from the VS Code source code. Privacy-conscious developers should use VSCodium (which is fully FOSS) instead of Visual Studio Code (which is partially proprietary and includes tracking).
