Hi,

I'm so sorry, I am responsible for this. I've fixed this immediately. Earlier this week we upgraded Codeberg to Forgejo v13, one of its new features is to strip exif data from avatars (https://forgejo.org/2025-10-release-v13-0/#avatar-image-privacy). I've run this command yesterday on Codeberg but was surprised to learn it ran into errors with your avatar. One of the exif tags was malformed (https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/exif-terminator/issues/16) and resulted in aborting the process, I replaced your avatar with with my own avatar (https://codeberg.org/gusted) to continue the process. Unfortunately I ran into other problems during this process and went to sleep and forgot to replace your avatar back.The avatar replacement should've been temporary and not have been noticed by anyone, that's entirely my fault. I hope you accept this apology.

@strypey @Codeberg It's not exactly random; that's a version of a character used by AMD in Japan. My charitable guess would be a bug that assigned someone's avatar upload to the wrong profile, which is concerning but not necessarily an indication of a compromise.

If the Last-Modified timestamp on the image at https://codeberg.org/avatars/ce29dbcbd831e1fcf30a7aef6f3aaa868ffcba41fdf7331e73a2f77b43495ab3 is correct, it was only uploaded at 9:55 this morning, NZ time.

@strypey @Codeberg Is it a joke or somthing? Or are you serious?
