Does anyone know why 4chan killed itself? The five minute countdown captcha was bad enough, but they recently upped it to 15 minutes OR email verification. Why is 4chan of all things collecting people's emails? That's not what 4chan is about. Also, they implemented really weird rules where you would get shadow banned for saying tranny or other words 3 times. It really seems like some tranny mod from Reddit recently hijacked 4chan or something.

>>17233 it has to be built over time. part of the problem is that people just want active communities with new threads all the time. this place is currently much better quality-wise, not just the features but you don't see fucking twitter threads everywhere or people posting in bad faith all over the place, ironic retarded shit etc. that might change over time if the boards get more popular though anyhow, 4cuck has been bad for so long. i just hope it dies for good. all it's good for is keeping people trapped. if some of them don't want to use another imageboard, that's their problem. they can go to twitter or discord or whatever. but as long as 4cuck is up, it's gonna be harder to have active altchans because people like being held hostage just because it had the most activity
>>17251 it's heavily moderated now as well. you can't even have fun with slightly off-topic threads, like how we used to have sadpanda threads on /a/, or posting cropped doujins on /v/ with cleavage and whatnot. almost anything they want gone is deleted fast, there's no fucking fun to be had. meanwhile that nigger jay ruined /g/ with apple faggotry, /v/ was full of twitter screenshot threads and astroturfing garbage by ubisoft and the like. i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the activity were from bots as well, given how much shit was shilled there

why haven't you used nntpchan? NNTPChan (previously known as overchan) is a decentralized imageboard that uses the NNTP protocol (network-news transfer protocol) to synchronize content between many different servers. It utilizes cryptographically signed posts to perform optional/opt-in decentralized moderation https://github.com/konamicode9/nntpchan

>>17112 I used to, but then I took a break and all the instances I used to use are dead. Is there a list of ones that's still alive somewhere? What NNTPchan would need, ideally, is a distributed list of instances accepting peers, like DHT. That'd make it simple to write a guide on how to set up a personal instance on a VPS, and then peer with that, making it far more distributed and resilient to disruptions, as true P2P is stronger than mere federation. Federated systems have a handful of key people to take out and they're done.
Nobody actually uses decentralized social shit because it's a nightmare to moderate and there's no centralized point of access which means there's no centralized culture. The mindset that leads someone to believe decentralized social media makes sense is the same mindset that leads someone to think cryptocurrency will revolutionize the world
I used it a little bit, but I don't think I've seen public nodes recently? Would be nice if someone took the opportunity now when 4c is less alive.

>>18365 Not all of the torrents in the screenshot are from that thread. The cartoons thread is well represented here. I posted all over that board. When something is not rare per se it may be hard to find in good quality on a public tracker. I try to actually pay attention to what's available and grab the best version if someone making a request doesn't have very specific demands. Like that guy who wanted the Helen of Troy Bluray image, normally I wouldn't post those but that's specifically what he wanted. Good luck finding something like that on public trackers under normal circumstances. Same with the Limitless DVD9. I bet you can find Limitless easily but if you want the full DVD you're shit outta luck. The average public tracker user does not care about quality so usually what stays seeded has the lowest file size available. Bots do make higher quality versions available to them but they die after so long. Based rarbg was giving public tracker fags the private tracker experience but they did such a poor job of keeping most of that shit seeded.
>>18337 yall really fell for this low quality bait, huh
>>18380 You think I need a reason to post walls of text about niche topics I'm autistically obsessed with? This is how we keep the spirit of 4chan alive. It's not taking the bait when you're doing what you love to do. I'll sperg about this shit unprompted, being given a prompt makes it no different.

In my audio settings there's Digital Stereo (HDMI 2) Output, Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 2) Output, Digital Surround 7.1 (HDMI 2) Output, and Pro Audio. Which one should I be using? I have 2 speakers and a subwoofer connected to an AVR, which s connected to my PC via HDMI. I assumed I should be using stereo but was playing a game last night and realized it wasn't using my subwoofer unless I changed it to 5.1 or 7.1.
Greetings /fglt/ I have recently switched one of my two devices to an arch linux operating system to improve my usage of computers. I started this journey with 0 prior experience using GNU/Linux and it has been a blast. My question to you isn't of a technical nature, rather I seek a software recommendation. On Windows 10 I enjoyed using a software called PlayNite to organize and run my collection of video games. What software do you use or recommend to organize your video games? I looked at Lutris before, but I am slightly upset about the banner urging me to register on their website. Is there a good alternative?

8chan.moe css and settings- resting place for /g/ Refuges Anonymous 04/16/2025 (Wed) 18:02:35 No. 17721 [Reply]
For refuges they were interested in seeing how to adjust settings for this website. I was going to start listing things I saw in other refuge threads here so it can be compiled by people wishing to stay. There is a gear icon on the top left header that can be opened and can hold filters, css, JS and other. -this inputed into css: #navTopBoardsSpan { display: none;} hides the default board list on the top of the header if you don't like the default boards showing. -If your cookies are activated on the website there should be a "star" icon next to the board name you can click on the star to add it to a custom header on the top to populate boards you care about. If you see other refuge threads you can leave a link to here to gather together /g/ refuges to help them consolidate

Gatekeeping Anonymous 08/21/2023 (Mon) 17:58:51 No. 12859 [Reply]
ITT we brainstorm about how to prevent unwanted influxes of newcomers that change the culture of imageboards. Preferably ones that can be implemented in a P2P way. For example: they could require a quorum of existing users to approve new users. This would probably require some sort of identity based on i.e. asymmetric crypto. But users could stay anonymous using ring signatures.

Gatekeeping is a balancing act, it is necessary to a degree - keeping board culture - but as much as gatekeeping is necessary so is being welcoming newfriends, it's kind of like border control, which as a resident of the US I don't really understand t.newfriend

Docker shitters are the new nodemonkeys Anonymous 04/09/2025 (Wed) 14:37:11 No. 17623 [Reply]
Every now and then some piece of software gets made that tries to make things simpler and easier to use. Every few years one of those projects gets adopted in droves and becomes the hot new developer meme and retards who shouldn't be let within 5 miles of a production server start shitting out endless amounts "clever solutions" with it because it's the only tool they know. Then other shitters come in, copy paste the first piece of spit and gum they see and call it working code. Eventually you end up with an environment where you have a handful of good projects drowning in a sea of pajeetcode. In the 2010s that was node.js. Frontend devs writing critical backend code in javashit because it's the only language they know, and then writing entire applications to run inside a chromium instance because it's so much easier than using a GUI toolkit. Today, that tool is docker. Wanna run a static webserver? Here, use ten thrown together dockerimages. Wanna compile software? Use this custom dockerimage, we don't support anything else. Check out this cool new software! Oh, you want to run it? Just run the official dockerimage so you can start the program! Docker is "lightweight". Downloading 2 GB of images to get the libraries you need for running your 50 lines of python code is way less bloated than that sparse 3 GB qcow2 image you can run anywhere. The venv is only 250 MB? Who cares lol. Docker is "secure" so of course there's no problem when your dockerfile exposes two dozen ports to your entire network. How else could your 15 different images running on the same fucking machine possibly communicate with each other? Installing docker images is easy. Simply pick out the one official image on docker-hub from the millions of repositories with malware grafted onto them. Be sure to audit every single dockerfile to make sure all the devs did the same! Docker is easy. When something breaks you can docker compose down and rebuild your container. Cross your fingers that it works. It's still broken? Then you can docker exec -it sh and troubleshoot your image from withing. Whoops, you used a minimal image that doesn't have sh. You can just make your own less minimal image that includes sh. It's easy. Docker is the perfect development environment. Installing dependencies is as easy as adding them to your dockerfile. But why bother making your own when you can blindly copy paste dockerfile code you found on someone's blog? Now you have your dependencies working but oh no! Your VSCode linter doesn't know about your dependencies! Do you properly reconfigure your setup? Why bother thinking when you can – get this – install all your dependencies locally! Now you can experience the joys of running docker at the same time as the joys of dependency management just so your editor can tell you you misspelled np.random! Better make sure your build system doesn't use your local libraries anywhere! And that's not all. You want to use a modified library for your build? Then you can just rebuild your entire docker image with your library added in. And never before could you use several versions of the same library in the same build process. Cmake? Never heard of it! Docker is the future! >but I NEED it for muh servers Look at this John Netflix who's serving 200 users across the ENTIRE city. Better set up Kubernetes so you can maintain your single fucking machine just as easily as you could 2.5 servers with no k8s. >b-but muh pipelines Yeah, go continuously integrate that single user desktop only application you're working on you fucking faggot.

>>18241 There's podman-compose but it's not directly maintained by the same people who maintain podman, and it doesn't support a bunch of the normal compose features. It's what finally made me stop using podman.
Just write your program in Rust and you don't need a docker image. You can download all dependencies with cargo build regardless of what OS you're on. And the resulting binary should not have any dynamic dependencies except for libraries that should be expected to be a part of the base OS in the first place. You can just ship a single executable. Or a tarball with the source code and let the client grab rustup.
>>18242 Yeah exactly, this is why I haven't even looked into podman more. I know you can actually use the docker client and set the socket to podman, so you could use docker cli and compose as the frontend. I don't know what the advantages would be tough. I tried it once and got it to work.

Flatpak and Friends Anonymous 06/10/2020 (Wed) 10:02:59 No. 413 [Reply] [Last]
What's your opinion on the concept of these newfangled package managers having sandboxing, enabling backwards compatibility and having a one-build-fits-all-distros mentality? Is it bloat, or the right way to go about solving such problems? Personally, I use Flatpak to handle games, so my system doesn't actually have any 32 bit libraries installed by my distro's package manager, anything 32 bit's managed entirely by Flatpak, separate from everything else. As well as isolating propietary software, since most games are, and Steam too. Since I don't use programs with Qt 5 much, I've decided to get rid of the ones I've installed natively and installed the ones I do need on Flatpak, that way I can get rid of Qt 5 as well.
