>>498 Since I'm on the subject I'm curious, why was 8chan.moe immune to all of this? Is it that they were never attacked with the usual esther nonsense, or is it that they managed to defend against it? If they weren't attacked then why? Isn't that suspicious? If they were attacked then what made them different from sites on the webring? Did they secure a provider that refuses to cuck down? Were they simply better at defending against the usual tactics? I mean personally I wanted to recommend .moe because it has been a relatively secure provider for allthefallen, even though they have arguably one of the most difficult types of content to protect online, but is that really all it is? .moe just does not cuck?

>>499 They were attacked and went down for a little while. It’s not clear whether it was the same actors. However, their admin has been making hay of the Julay drama with the usual low innuendo, “compromised” this, “leak” that, all kinds of stuff that’s very easy to see through if you’ve even half an idea of how stuff works. That doesn’t mean they were involved in the attacks, just that it’s a different group of internet drama addicts running the show over there. Anon.cafe didn’t go down either. I think their hosts have been pretty clear that the only way they’ll cut things is if illegal content stays up. Doesn’t mean they attacked Julay and Smug. All this drama is tiresome.

>>498 >Of course this last one hit hgg hard again, being a small board now it always will, what little was even left on julay seems completely diminished here. On this grim note, I think repositories for all of our projects should also contain a link to our current location. With big red letters. I'm sure that at least some of lost anons visit them from time to time. Pregmod, era repos (are they even open now?), forks of lilith throne, coc etc. But will everyone on the repos bother to include the link, or even read this message?

>>503 Also. A file in the root of the repos with the name in capital letters, something like "CURRENT /HGG/ LOCATION" is probably better then updating Readme.md. Because nobody reads those. Or even better - do both. A mentioned file should probably be a picture too, someone might notice it in preview after unzipping them on their machine. I know it sounds crazy, but that's what people usually do - they don't read readmes or lurk through the files.

>>410 if you need help, honestly some people would like to help but sharing ssh keys doesnt seem as a great idea. maybe a lesson on a vm would be good enough?

>>500 >“compromised” this, “leak” that Rumors of compromise come from some old anti-goobergate, ex-goblingoyte ecelebs showing up in the Julay IRC and being friendly with Julay staff. Rumors of "leaks" comes from a supposed security flaw in Julay and potentially half the webring using Julay's modification of the lynxchan software that may leak IPs.

got bored, decided to archive jewlay world threads

>>510 forgot link https://pastebin.com/MMsYau4a

>>498 >where everyone went Best guess is, with all the migrations, people simply couldn't find the next bunker or didn't care enough to look. Frankly doubt there's more than a dozen anons here, and I dunno how active the original 8kunt board is. I've tried hitting up all the IRCs I was told about, but nobody ever seems to be on.

>>503 >>505 > repositories for all of our projects should also contain a link to our current location No.

>>525 >No Against the rules?

>>528 Not that anon but I agree we shouldn't spoonfeed. If the anon who's making the /hgg/ board follow through, we'll build up users there.

>>528 Spoonfeeding also means it would be easier for the lazy retards who are armchair activists to find and try to cancel us. Sure, there will be attempts in the new board but it doesn't mean we have to make it easier for them, right?

>>532 >>533 I don't know, anons. As far as I understand, we are on the edge of existence. I would agree that spoonfeeding is bad, but not giving the current circumstances, when bunkers fall like flies. I think it is acceptable, at least as temporary solution, to regroup here. Before we will have our new board. I only suggest, tho. I just fear that we will end up with 3.5 anons, and that will be the end of it.

>>534 Fair point, if we ever go down to 3 anons it will be faster to go to cuckscord or even to fagbook.

FBB isn't happening. I haven't tried installing Lynxchan yet, but I went into things with the wrong attitude and I think it's better to admit defeat now rather than egg anons on for another few days/weeks only to come to a similar conclusion (or worse: create something insecure that creates an even bigger shit show). I went into this project with some preconceptions due to programming routers/switches in the past, and it turned from a side project that I was doing to learn some stuff about web administration into a crash course on both that stuff and on properly using Linux. Then Julay went down and the X week crash course became a cram session for a practical exam. At the end of the day, this isn't fun, and I don't see any fun coming out of it. Not everything has to be fun so long as it's fulfilling, but it feels like I'm going home from one job to do another job. The weather is turning nice and usually I'd be out camping or jogging through a mountain pass, and instead I've been cooped up in my room staring at a terminal trying to figure out why everything keeps exploding. Maybe if I wasn't a damn "essential worker" things would have been different, but that's neither here nor there. I'm probably going to continue to use the leased server to learn web administration and use it for some stuff I want to learn, maybe one day I'd even have an imageboard running off it, but I'd be doing so at my own pace. I'm not a dark souls player so I don't really get enjoyment out of punishing myself with the clock ticking. I understand the ramifications of this decision and how it impacts /hgg/, and I sincerely apologize on that front. I hope the community can successfully regroup despite the setbacks so far that through this action I've contributed to. I still believe /hgg/ would be best off running their own board and would be willing to subsidize it for twelve months (within financial reason/limitations), but I don't think I'll be taking the helm on an ambitious project like this turned out to be any time soon.

>>537 Did you install gentoo or something?

>>537 >FBB isn't happening Wow. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up.

>>537 We better stock up on porn then, this storm seems to be only starting.

>>537 It's fine, I am used to be disappointed

>>537 Welp, guess I'll start talks about moving to plw then. asfuwidjdkfbsjkfbk938424

>>503 I give cryptic hints if asked, but I'm not about to give a direct link. Word of mouth will eventually catch up, though the impermanence of our recent homes definitely stunting things.

You all already have your bunker here don't you, Anons? What's the problem. Anon can just take a break and at his own pace create a dedicated site for the webring. Or, someone else can. But the basic point is that Anoncafe is giving you a place to stay, so why the grief Anons?

>>537 >FBB is F. It's ok. Web stuff was always shitshow.

>>159 >ltg Lewd typing general Now that I think about it. When two anons type at the same time on the same livetext board, isn't it sort of like an indirect hgayyyyyyyy?

>>545 The biggest issue is that 3dcg lolis from anime style games like AA or koikatsu are too close for comfort for the admin. The surviving threads are mainly text games which aren't an issue but I want to move over as much as the old threads as possible. Here is the relevant post: >>>/meta/10609 PLW allows it. The admin there also doesn't mind 3dcg loli skyrim but if there's a complaint they will remove the picture. https://prolikewoah.com/hgg/

>>550 I see, thanks for the clarification. I tried to follow the chain of the convo and it didn't really seem to be much different than that caution for any of us: "If we receive a takedown order from the Romanian govt. we'll comply". Obviously loli is a bit more risky in this sense than others. But still, it didn't seem the site Admin was overly opposed to you, and it seemed he would simply remove the specified content, not delete your board. I'm not really apart of your community apart from a tangential relationship, but still I'd rather you guys be able to relax about your status here and work towards an alternate solution at a less frenetic pace. I think that's reasonable, given what I've read.

>>551 I guess, I'd quickly add: move to PLW as you see fit, but I'd advise you to keep a bunker here just in case.

I'll keep both bookmarked just in case.

>>551 We've kept the bunker since cafe first opened board requests so unless the admin decides otherwise we'll maintain it. It would be incredibly shitty of us to ignore 3dcg loli until the admins notice or are forced to act. I didn't want to put cafe at risk over this.

>>537 >At the end of the day, this isn't fun, and I don't see any fun coming out of it. Not everything has to be fun so long as it's fulfilling, but it feels like I'm going home from one job to do another job. Welcome to running services for zero compensation. Volunteers rarely have the time to redo everything from scratch. That's why I published the two InstantIB roles to help others reduce the amount of time they spent having to bang their heads against the problems of administration without the risk that they'd fuck something up. Did you try InstantIB.LynxChan? It should reduce your problem set to a) spin up VPS with CentOS 7 and get SSH access, b) install Ansible, c) do the InstantIB.LynxChan tutorial, d) read the InstantIB.LynxChan README to configure the rest of your settings. If you want to only have a lab, you might find that a virtual machine is better for you than paying for a VPS. That's how I got everything ready before publishing to our host and how I test changes before I push them live. The hotpocket life's not for everyone. >>564 Of course you can keep this board as your primary or as a bunker. In case I was unclear last time, let me assure you that you're welcome here. We hate the "credible simulation" problem. If we had something to help clarify what a credible simulation is and is not in the eyes of the Romanians we'd be on firmer ground. When you have lolis in what's sold as a fully-featured "simulation game" then you must tread carefully.

Is development still going on? The webring set down for quite a few days. Another migration happened from here?

>>537 It is what it is but all I'm saying is what you did is far more damaging than if you never offered in the first place. You offered at a time when we were all still on julay, when we had many anons discussing and offering help which all stopped because everyone rallied behind your decision. I could tell by your tone in earlier posts that it wasn't going to end well, but damn it still sucks. >>590 The plan going forward seems to be to fully migrate to prohlikewoah and as always keep cafe as the backup. No word of an official move yet though.

>>590 >>599 My bad I was wrong, the transfer seems to have happened. It's up on prolikewoah /hgg/

Is hgg on prolikewoah down atm? I keep getting privacy error "your connection is not private", on regular browser, tor and my VPN.

>>641 Same here

>>642 same for me, I hope this isn't the end

>>641 PLW's security cert expired, not sure how long it will take whoever is left running the site to fix that.

>>644 Not like this...

wtf is PLW still not reachable?

>>648 Just like when 8ch originally went down, people will say it'll be back next week, then it'll turn into a month, then several. And each time we get lurched from one inept bunker to another we lose another handful of people that will never come back.

It is just the certificate, unless something changed in the last few hours, then you can still access it. it is just not "certified" so it won't be https, and paranoid anons will find it hard to trust.

It's back

PWL down?

>>663 Yes

>>664 We have any info as to why? Even 8kun(t) seems to be having issues btw.

>>663 >>664 It's back now.

>>667 a month later and it's down again lul

>get my computer back from repair after a month and a half >want to play some sweet DoL >plw down and I didnt save the modded version of DoL I play that was linked in the general >cannot find it Get the fucking site back up so I can coom, you goddamn server monkeys
