Hey! >>>/late/ has been dead for days because the captchas broke. It gets stuck and doesn't provide the option to reload. I thought it was my browser acting up or that my address was blacklisted, but I tried different devices as well as Tor and something serverside is definitely malfunctioning.

It's going to be hard to protect against that, since tor (especially if you use it together with something like tor browser) is designed to hide as much identity as possible. But the same thing is true if someone has a large enough botnet, and starts bombarding you from millions of IP addresses, no IP rate limiting will save you.

>Security through obscurity is illusory and fallacious. I was taught to always assume my adversary knows every detail of how my system works.
It's a good point, Anon (and one I personally follow, since we literally release everything open-source as MIT).

OTOH, there are such things as skiddies, and reducing your attack surface as a form of defense is a military concept going back to pre-history, I'm sure. Some things are commonsense, and this seems one of them to me personally.

OTOOH board Admin is clearly aware of this thread, so it should rightly be in his hands now. Cheers.

Off-topic, but why choose MIT over GPL, Apache, BSD, etc...? It's something I wonder every six months or so because I can never remember the key differences between them.

We actually have a thread on just this topic. [1]  I'm personally a bit dogmatic on this topic, b/c I want a super-flourishing robowaifu ecosystem to develop for all men everywhere. But I can assure you, that not all our regular Anons on our board are in full agreement with me on this.

My personal >tl;dr on this is:
< BSD/MIT -alikes are simply the single best way to ensure an explosion of new businesses can form (if they will) around your platform. If this happens, then it will literally transform the planet (in our specific case).

Hope that gives you our take on this question, Anon. Cheers.  :)

Trashmin, blacklist indiachan. They've not set up their webring correctly. I doubt they intend to.

Piggybacking: can admin please remove anon.cafe (RIP) and sportschan.org (disabled their broken webring altogether) from their list? They replicate to any sites following this one.

I'd love a /his/ board on the ring, but I think it would be DOA.
I wonder if we combined /sci/ /his/ and /math/ into a polymath board if it would be able to get some activity.

ITT, we discuss boards not yet migrated somewhere

Anoncafe Admins have created an official listing:
https://anon.cafe/meta/res/16569.html#16571

Thankfully, many boards have already found a home. Unfortunately some have not, and seem in danger of being lost to the winds of time. Are there ones in this group that Anons consider good enough to warrant migrating here without BOs? If so, who will step up to own & manage them here 'after the fact'?

This conversation is meant to save worthy boards from disappearing. Please contribute to this discussion if you have thoughts on the matter, Anons.

I've been a little wary about adding the filters because I'm not sure how this works and also because it's directly linked to automod features.
Do I put the phrase to be filtered in the box in the front or the one at the end?

You can just set it to block post without banning.
The replace text is only used if you select replace under filter mode.

Hey admin why can't I report from the overboard?
Replies: >>528

Dunno, ask Tom

With all the new boards onboard, and people coming from other engines, I decided to write some some info that's probably useful to all BOs.
After you log in on the account tab, you should find your board under "Boards you own" and a bunch of links.

Settings
This is what you should probably check.

General tab: most fields should be self explanatory, you can change the name/description that appears on the board list, theme (I've heard a lot of anons don't really like this win9x inspired theme). If you want Geo flags ping me, it's probably broken ATM (I'd need to set up a geoip db).
Also your new board will be unlisted by default, uncheck the checkboxes when you're done with the setup.

Posting, File: probably you can ignore them if you don't know what they are for

Limits: set thread, reply, bump limits. I don't recommend going over 500 posts, it can really bog down weaker computers and jschan still lacks "last 50" posts feature.
There are 10 threads per page, if you're more used to setting a page limit.

Antispam: very important

Did you try manage -> find post -> moderate -> sticky level to some number > 1? It worked for me.
Replies: >>495 >>496
>>494
Yes, I did, se-
What the fuck, it only showed half of these options before.
>>493
>>494
IIRC, I set a sticky to 1 ('on', or true) to activate it, and 0 ('off', or false) to unsticky.

Presumably, this also gives you the ability to sort stickies in a static way ('1' being lower than '2', etc.)

Hey admin, what's the list of files types we can attach? Can board owners allow particular file types?
Replies: >>502
>>501
If you allow other file types, you can upload:
text/plain
application/pdf
tegaki/replay
application/x-shockwave-flash
(So .txt, .pdf, and .swf)
This is a global setting in jschan, so no, BOs can't change it. (And besides, changing this list also requires changes to the nginx config...) I can add other types if there's a legitimate interest, but that's about it.

Here's my current plan of the rules:
>A board becomes claimable if the BO doesn't log in for one month
>If someone claims the board, I send an email to the BO. If I don't receive an answer for a week, the board is transferred.
Additional rules:
>If the board has vols, they have a priority when selecting a new BO.
>If the BO does log in, but fails to do his job (spam not deleted, piling up reports, etc), the ownership can still be transferred at the discretion of the site admin.
>Bunker boards are exempt if they have no traffic.

To claim a board, post in this thread:
>why do you think you won't end up like the previous BO
>what BO experience you have
>user name and email
Alternatively you can send me a mail with login details if you do not want to publicly disclose it after your request is accepted. I'll generate you a password if you don't specify one.

Unfortunately jschan doesn't have an abandoned board list (actually it does, but jschan only considers a board abandoned when it has no BO, so it's not useful in our case), so for the time being here's a manual list. Ping me if it looks outdated.

03:29 MAYBE BACK
Looks like clearnet is back online. Hope it stays that way.

02:50 FILES BACK
You can use Trashchan fully again... on TOR. Clearnet is I have no fucking idea, because the only place this fucking BuyVM can manage any information is fucking dicksword, which is supposed to be bridged to matrix, but that bridge also doesn't work and doesn't bridge the channel that I'd need.

22:10 FRANCISCO FRANNED IT
I don't know why did I even think that Francisco won't fuck up things that he wasn't even supposed to touch, but anyway, here we are. TOR works, clearnet not.

17:41 SITE IS NOW RUNNING WITHOUT FILES
Expect 404 errors when trying to open images/videos, don't be alarmed, they're safe.

SCHEDULED DOWNTIME
There's a scheduled downtime 2024-02-04T18:00:00Z (if I managed to parse correctly the martian time in the email). They say it's up to 8 hours, but given their track record, I recommend you double that.
Keep https://trashchan-status.neocities.org/ bookmarked, where I'll try to provide status information.

03:59 <CrimsonPotato_0> you need the verified role it seems
04:00 <CrimsonPotato_0> not sure how to get that
Looks like it's not enough to get a dicksword acc, you also need to verify your phone to the trannies to be able to ask a fucking question about the state of the maintenance.

I'm not so sure about it. And they still haven't officially confirmed that the maintenance is complete, it just seems like things are working.
