I added flags for the posters to choose from, but I can't seem to enable them? The option to pick a flag when posting isn't showing up.

Just wondering, what's this site gonna be when 8chan comes back? Will it still be used for anything?

I haven't been there in weeks, I was only basing my opinion on the anons there that were smearing 08chan, Endchan, vch.moe etc. for stupid reasons.
>wanting to go back
tbh I wouldn't get my hopes up about the future of 8Chan, even if it comes back up it'll probably get buttraped by Boomers and Idiots so yeah... I like it here better.

Right now all recently-posted images are shown on the front page whether they be onanistic or otter. I can make it so that images from SFW boards appear on the front page, but do we want that? Is it a good idea? I want to hear from different boards.
Good idea. I think it would certainly make the place more cafeesque, not having the first thing you see be a bunch of porn.
>>29
Yes. We'll try it out for now and see how we feel about it.
Testing
>>31
Another possibility, if it's easy to implement, is to auto-spoiler any image from NSFW boards in the front page, while on the boards themselves they may or may not be spoilered.
yes

InstantIB.LynxChan + Onion: An Imageboard Host Builder Anonymous Board owner 04/30/2020 (Thu) 17:08:36 No.10678 [Reply] [Last]
UPDATE: instantib.lynxchan version 2.4.10 released. I'm releasing a modified version of Anon.cafe's build and maintenance tooling. It is an Ansible role that turns a CentOS 7 server into a LynxChan 2.4.10 host with an nginx reverse proxy in front to handle HTTPS termination and traffic limiting. It is very configurable and includes variable documentation as well as a tutorial to help those unfamiliar with Ansible get up to speed. It's my hope that this will help Anon spin up new imageboards without having to struggle against many of their software's peculiarities and tedium. I've also added a role that will set up Tor hidden services; it permits either hands-off management of the hidden service private key or storage of the hidden service private key in an encrypted Ansible Vault. InstantIB.LynxChan is at https://gitgud.io/Skyline/instantib.lynxchan InstantIB.Onion is at https://gitgud.io/Skyline/instantib.onion The role bundles and builds several pieces of software not available in CentOS repositories (e.g. ExifTool to strip EXIF from images and FFmpeg to generate better thumbnails), may optionally create a special user that can pull remote MongoDB database dumps from elsewhere, ensures that both MongoDB and LynxChan will restart on failure, detects and handles necessary service restarts/reloads, may install and configure the webring/alternate captcha/native image generation addons if desired, supports proper multi-device favicons, provides enhanced TLS security by default, optionally generates strong custom Diffie-Hellman (DH) key-exchange parameters for extra security, allows optional IP range blocking at the network firewall, configures Security-Enhanced Linux to work gracefully with MongoDB, and allows optional use of the notoriously obtuse Sendmail to relay email from LynxChan to an external mail host. If you have some basic GNU/Linux literacy and follow the tutorial then read the documentation carefully, you will be able to use this to spin up and maintain a LynxChan imageboard of your own. You can override and adjust the variables and then re-run your playbook to gracefully detect and adjust only what needs to be adjusted on your server. The role is presently in alpha; although I use it with full confidence on anon.cafe, it is possible that it might not work for some combination of options I've never tried, or I've broken it while adding the latest enhancements for genpop use. I recommend that you try it out thoroughly against a virtual machine before using it on any kind of production instance. Be careful and methodical. Future tutorials will include the Paranoid Admin's Imageboard Hosting Primer, in which I will briefly explain the different privacy and security trade-offs you can make as an imageboard admin for yourself and your users, making payments and taking donations without compromising your identity, understanding how to maintain OPSEC+COMSEC+FINSEC in such a way that a single breach will not be your undoing, how all this might be done in practice, and more. To those who do not have the literacy this tooling assumes and would prefer something a little more intensively hand-holding, more will come. I nevertheless encourage you to muddle your way through with a VM, a CentOS 7 netinst ISO, and a search engine - if nothing else, you will come out knowing a little more than you came in with.

>>14030 Thanks the XSEC info is appreciated Admin.
>>14159 Two of the biggest reasons people don't use blacked.moe is because it's ran by retarded namefag attentionwhores. Basically the entire existence of zzzchan can be credited entirely to the fact that Acid and Mark have no respect for anonymity. Blacked.moe didn't become popular because everyone wanted to flood into a site where they knew the admins. If you think that's what happened then you clearly weren't around when the site was completely fucking dead and everyone chose to use fatchan instead. Blacked.moe got popular because the alternatives kept going down. There is value in stability. But stability doesn't require that you abandon any and all sense of anonymity while you post your face and information about your favorite forms of sexual degeneracy for all the world to see on pozzed social media platforms.
>>14166 >Blacked.moe got popular because the alternatives kept going down. Likely due in no small measure due to mark.gov's """backer's""" gayops.

I found this infograph on either of webrings /tech/ board. How much of it is applicable towards creating own imageboard?

Tripcodes Anonymous 04/21/2021 (Wed) 17:57:38 No.14298 [Reply]
Is it possible to use super secure tripcodes here? I.e tripcodes made with three pound symbols? (###)
3 posts omitted.
because if you're a namefag at least other people can have fun at your expense, as a tripfag you're just annoying, and 99% of times there is no real need to do it in the first place
Describe how a super secure tripcode is more secure than a secure tripcode. Also no and never will be.
>>14308 Point taken. I do not know.
Same thing, OP. It wouldn't change anything even if the three ### system was added. Frankly, it is unecessary and redunant. And lastly, almost nobody uses tripcodes... It's a rare sight to see someone use tripcodes.

Why doesn’t anon.cafe have ID on every post like on other IBs?
It's up to BOs to enable or disable it.
>>14296 So there are boards on anon.cafe that have IDs enabled?
>>14300 I see... Thank you, Anon.

This is the weakest justification I have ever seen >You're not all like this. Such posts are usually met with scorn or well-reasoned counterarguments by other posters So why not have the bad-eggs kicked out (easily done, as most will get upset if rules are changed) and not delete 30% of the posts ever made on your site? >but occasional glimpses of /fascist/ from time to time suggest that such content has become more typical as time has passed "occasional glimpses", i.e. the occasional outrageous post that gains controversy, while 95% of the content is mundane and fine. discussion >and that the board has changed from its original tone and focus since we allowed a bunker to be set up here. This is a lie. The board is the same. > we are not willing to engage in intensive monitoring and moderation of the board's content Tell the BO to clean up the problem posters. You have already said that most of the board is not like this and and the problem posters are "usually met with scorn or well-reasoned counterarguments by other posters" Also, it's clear that the BO is willing to negotiate on these matters, and frankly it is quite unprofessional to warn someone that their board is in danger, and not notify the BO on the board itself in some way so you are sure that they know their board is danger.

Clarification Anonymous 12/05/2020 (Sat) 05:17:46 No.13748 [Reply]
Since I've apparently become the BO of /k/, I was wondering if I could have clarification on Romanian laws regarding calls to violence since I imagine that will be the most likely violation to take place in regards to the global rules and would like to make sure to be transparent with the site admin and enforce policy to the best of my ability. I am obviously not well-versed on Romanian law, and while I'd prefer to live and let live where possible, I also do not want to put the site admin in hot water or be in violation of the global rules. The rules mentioned threats of individual violence and I assume that to a lesser extent implicit terroristic threats would also fall under global rules, but I'd like to establish a line to draw so that I'm not stepping on toes when it comes to the boundary between what can reasonably be considered a suggestion in poor taste versus an illegal (in Romania) call to violence. I'll provide an example that just got posted below for clarification/so that it's not in the OP if it happens to be in violation of the global rules.

>>13752 >the anon.cafe apartment complex Now I'd live in a place like that.
We have received a question about incitements to crime and/or genocide and how they interact with Romanian law per Anon.cafe's global rules. Please keep in mind that only the Romanian judiciary can decide precisely where, how, and to what a given law applies. We're doing our best to balance good-faith interpretations of the law with not stifling speech here. The version of the Criminal Code we refer to has been posted as a PDF at >>13751. Genocide Genocide is outlawed by Article 438 of the Criminal Code, within Chapter 1 (Crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity) of Title XII (Crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes). The full Article states: >Art. 438 >Genocide >(1) The act of committing, with the goal of destroying, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, one of the following offenses: >a) killing members of the group; >b) harming the bodily or mental integrity of members of the group; >c) subjecting the group to living conditions of a nature that will lead to their physical destruction in whole or in part; >d) enacting steps to prevent births within the group; >e) forced transfer of children belonging to one group to a different group, shall be punishable by life imprisonment or no less than 15 and no more than 25 years of imprisonment and a ban on the exercise of certain rights. >(2) If the acts described in par. (1) are committed in wartime, shall be punishable by life imprisonment. >(3) Conspiracy to commit the crime of genocide shall be punishable by no less than 5 and no more than 10 years of imprisonment and a ban on the exercise of certain rights.

Message too long. Click here to view full text.

>>13836 (continued) Hatred Incitement to hatred or discrimination is outlawed by Article 369 of the Criminal Code, within Chapter 1 (Offenses against public order and peace) of Title VIII (Offenses that harm social relationships). The article states: >ART. 369 >Incitement to hatred or discrimination >Inciting the public, using any means, to hatred or discrimination against a category of individuals shall be punishable by no less than 6 months and no more than 3 years of imprisonment or by a fine. The problem for us here is the word "incitement", which appears in the Criminal Code only twice: Once in Article 369 (hatred), and once in Article 438 (genocide). "Incitement" here is different from "instigation". We therefore fall back on general use. The dictionary definition of "incite" is: >incite: to encourage someone to do or feel something unpleasant or violent, or to cause violent or unpleasant actions This is as far as our reasoning has taken us so far. We welcome further input and discussion.
>>13837 Does the offense of Incitement of hatred require specific criteria like that of threats? My reading of the statues leads me to conclude for any of the code sections to apply, one must apply a threat to a direct individual (or in this case a group in 438, 369), a location(s), and possibly a time frame. For example: the "gas the jews now" is borderline, whereas I would assume that "Gas the Karaites at XYZ location tomorrow" would not be acceptable under art 369 and art 438.
>>13837 I'm not well versed in legal rhetoric, but if they are using that definition of incite, and it includes discrimination after an "or" wouldn't this include any sort of disparaging speech against any group?

>>13668 Thanks brother
>>13668 I just noticed prolikewoah.com the GO AWAY one.. got removed from the webring here but we're still showing up on their site. Is this because they decided to forget the certificates again? I'm not an anime fan but it was hard to ignore when it had one of the highest PPH
>>13677 For future reference, PLW's certificates had expired. This meant that when our server connected to it to grab the latest webring.json, the untrusted connection was rejected. Think of it as PLW "dropping out" of the webring temporarily. The same happens when hosts go down. When their webring.json files become accessible again, then they re-appear.
