Gitlab seem to be terrible for rolling over for corps.
Yeah, Gitlab take down the repo without notice. Github even gave the warning letter first before take down the repo
Gitlab is a corp
… and corps are never your friend.
What if I am the Corp?
Well your corp don’t dance and if it don’t dance then it’s no friend of mine
Everything’s out of control and the corps are doing it from pole to pole.
Self-host the git please.
We need a GitTorrent protocol with DHT. All forks could be one repository, and the identical code shared between them can be cross-seeded.
can still be DMCAd 🤷
Host it somewhere the DMCA doesn’t apply

There are a good amount but of course the copyright trolls would rather people ignore them because they have no leverage there (seriously I’ve seen . Many of these countries are enemy states to the western world and unless that changes it’s unlikely copyright treaties from the west will reach those states, and vice versa.
One common example of a place like that is the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) it includes Russia and a few other countries.

Yes, but often those countries come with their own huge bag of problems.
Not saying they don’t, everything has pros and cons and you need to decide what’s really important to you and whether or not it’s worth overcoming the challenges associated, many decide it isn’t, and that’s okay, but some decide it is and choose to pursue it.
I’m saying we don’t give the copyright and corporate trolls what they want and act or talk like the enemy states out of their reach don’t exist or that someone couldn’t or wouldn’t go there to do the dirty work, or imply that these places are going away sometime in the near future.
All not that easy and it can get highly criminal very fast.
Of course it is, anyone should know that working in and for an enemy country is criminal. If someone didn’t understand that they need to pick a side in the world they deserve what they get. Most people who are dedicated enough to go that far understand the risks well enough, and are willing to take them.
It can but they have to go through the effort to actually follow through with the end goal. It’s not just an easy automated bureaucratic process to keep stupid safe harbor provisions (that’s why copyright claims are so abusable).

So they took down a list of URI and some JavaScript references? On what grounds?
I haven’t gone into detail on this, but I suspect some shiny-suited, greasy-haired wanker lawyer has been able to make a case that things like site-specific CSS classes and the like can somehow be covered by DMCA.
I’m 100% speculating (not American, not a lawyer) but it’s more than URIs and Javascript, is what I’m saying.
Is self hosting it with Forgejo over Tor an idea?
Perhaps https://radicle.xyz/
I was just looking at that today due to the increase in repo takedowns lately.
Does this affect the Firefox version? I only see discussion around the Chrome extension so far.
all of the repo get 404. Get the latest backup here https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-firefox-clean.git https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean.git
The add-on is still available in the add-on store:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bypass-paywalls-for-firefox/
That is the pre-forked version, which doesn’t have nearly as much support as Magnolia’s version.
The pre-forked version’s code is still on GitHub, but the last commit was 6 months ago.

Here’s a bit of history of the forks (unfortunately the conversation was on GitLab, so this is an archive).
Got it. Well, it works and is much easier to install.
Most of the time, if you disable javascript, it may work or if you use the archive.is site, I think it’s called, then it works.
Thanks for the share - have grabbed the latest Firefox repo for my private Forgejo.
