Re: Gitlab C2

[Pedram Ashofteh Ardakani]

Hi Bi,

Thank you for your response and the additional information.

You can find a screenshot of me visiting gitlab with an Iranian ip a few minutes ago. Also, you can check this link out [1] that states how GitHub convinced OFAC to open access to people living in sanctioned countries, but GitLab has not done the same apparently.

So, there are two ways I can still reach gitlab:

1) full access via browser: use proxy or vpn (using tor needed additional human verification steps I guess)
2) partial access through command line: use an SSH key to push/pull to/from my own repositories (no vpn needed)

Cheers,
Pedram

Pedram, are you affected by C2 on gitlab.com,
or can you demonstrate some evidence of anyone who is?

perhaps we can attempt to verify this C2 complaint better, and
consider adding C2 to it's ERC checklist (aka: "Things that
prevent gitlab.com from C") - i have seen a similar statement
before; but it is non-trivial to confirm, for anyone who is not
blocked

this would not affect the over-all grade now; because it has
been determined that gitlab.com also no longer meets C0 - those
website changes have been discussed and approved - the website
will show gitlab.com as 'F' grade soon, along with a few new
hosts with higher grades (sr.ht=B, codeberg.org=C, notabug.org=C)
