Bugs, Issues, and Changelog, #2 Anonymous Board owner 10/21/2021 (Thu) 06:34:30 No.15218
This is the second thread in which you post about things you notice that are wrong that aren't "it's slow". If something is fixed or changed, it'll be posted here. Previous thread: >>18
Block bypass with no cookies doesn't work.
https://lynx.farted.net/lynx/res/6214.html LynxChan backend exploit, anon.cafe could be affected.
>>16115 Thank you for letting us know. We've backported the fixes into 2.5.
/meta/ has two CP posts that haven't been cleaned yet >16124 >16126
Why is this spam post not deleted? >>>/k/47199
I can't for some reason post on /late/. The captcha never passes. Did I get banned or something? I don't remember doing anything that would be worth a ban
>>16164 Alright, the no cookies captcha works though. So you can ignore it. Not sure why the normal one doesn't work, but I can use this one.
why is a porn board on a site thats meant to be comfy? whats comfy about porn?
>>16169 A pron board on the Cafe ? Wasn't aware of that tbh. Mind telling which one you're talking about ?
>>16169 It's not hurting anything.
>>16172 Don't reply to him, he spammed /christian/ with that same argument as to get the board out of here.
>>16170 /Cuckqueen/ >>16172 Porn is bad, watch John Doyle's video on it >>16177 I'm not the same user

I have some questions regarding accepted file types. Over on /agdg/, and I presume on all boards on here, *.c and *.h files are able to be uploaded, even though they get mangled to "randomlongassstring.txt" when you actually click and view them. *.cpp and *.hpp files are blocked, and I can only assume other ones like *.py, *.lua, etc. are as well. As /agdg/ is a programming board, I'd like users to be able to upload source code files from various languages without needing to use 3rd-party hosting, which should be fine, as they as tiny (text only) and not executables or archive files. Is this possible? I don't see anywhere on the board management page to set file types, so I assume that it's server-wide. Please let me know if it's something you can implement or if I need to come up with another solution. Thanks.
>>16188 A file's extension isn't taken into account when deciding what is allowed. Rather, the site allows files based on what MIME type our server's file command deems them to be. The MIME types that are presently allowed on Anon.cafe are: >image/png >image/jpeg >image/gif >image/bmp >video/webm >audio/mpeg >video/mp4 >video/ogg >audio/ogg >application/ogg >audio/webm >application/pdf >audio/mp3 >audio/mp4 >application/x-shockwave-flash >text/plain This means that files that appear to be text/plain will be allowed, while, say, text/x-script.python won't be. >I don't see anywhere on the board management page to set file types, so I assume that it's server-wide. There is a control that only allows board owners to whitelist a subset of file types that are already allowed site-wide, so you cannot allow any type that doesn't appear in the list above. >I'd like users to be able to upload source code files from various languages without needing to use 3rd-party hosting, which should be fine, as they as tiny (text only) and not executables or archive files. Is this possible? We understand, but would still like to avoid allowing any kind of code files to be posted. Perhaps you could advise your users to post on Pastebin or some other dedicated free code-hosting site and then link them in their posts, which has about the same level of ease from the perspective of someone who wants to view or download them.
>>16189 I see. Thanks for the in-depth response. I was aware of the MIME types but was under the impression that there was some other layer of control blocking say, .cpp and .hpp files when .c and .h files uploaded fine (even if authored in the same text editor, with the same contents). >We understand, but would still like to avoid allowing any kind of code files to be posted. Can I ask why? >Perhaps you could advise your users to post on Pastebin or ... Understood, I will figure something out.
>>16191 The file command is not 100% reliable. It sometimes misidentifies files, accounting for the difference you see. It might even take extensions into account as part of its criteria, for all we know. It's possible that other .c and .h files would be forbidden. >Can I ask why? An overabundance of caution.
>>16192 Got it.
Can we move to jschan? It just reached version 1.0 and its superior to lynxtranniechan.
>>16195 Is there a supported migration path?
Is it okay to open a support thread in /server/ for lynxy? Its a frontend for lynxchan. https://lynxy.rf.gd https://gitgud.io/Yobadev/lynxy thanx
>>16198 >Please enable JS you lost me
>>16200 >cons >enable js still lost me
what happened to late.city?
>>16202 >>>/late/427 Board was closed without warning. So we gathered here on the Cafe thanks to the admins.
I keep having a problem where a file I'm trying to post won't upload. It'll get to 100% uploaded and then it'll spit a connection failed error. The file is a .gif and is 5.20MB.
Open file (28.00 KB 800x800 8pm by_5ldo0on.png)
>>16236 I can give more information. https://www.deviantart.com/5ldo0on/art/8-PM-748120153 https://www.deviantart.com/5ldo0on/art/Palm-trees-728810779 These are links to the two images, which are animated .gif versions what I just posted. They appear to upload all the way to 100% and then gives a connection failed message. I attempted this on clearnet as well as on tor, using both the onion and the clearnet adress and it fails in all three cases. Another anon from comfy was also unable to post them. As a test I uploaded >>>/comfy/6110 last night and it went through with out trouble despite being 3 times the file size of the second one and it went through fine. I also made several image posts to /retro/ lastnight so it's not just my connection or browser. Any ideas what the problem is?

Can someone get rid of this fag shit from zzz Can't report comments or even make comments because this fagshit never works. Holy fuck.
>>16238 Pretty sure you'll have to make your request there Anon. These are completely-separate domains with different staff/policies.

>>16238 I hate that shit too. I think it's a flood protection thing? The captcha isn't on all the time in my experience. If you didn't realize it, the symbols are arranged in a somewhat distorted 4x4 grid. You have to check the boxes on the right side grid that correspond to the symbols that it's asking for. Which in your case I think is the all-white symbols. I'm pretty sure that's how it works but fuck me if I don't usually have to do it 3-5 times before it accepts my answer.
>>16241 Pnce again, take this to the zzzchan meta board. This place is not related to it.
>>16242 *Once
>>16236 >>16237 Please I'm getting this error again with a different .gif. This is really annoying. Does ANYONE have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
>>16265 This is the image. https://www.deviantart.com/aleha84/art/Japanese-street-917325812 Please check settings to see why the site won't let random, normal .gifs be posted. I just want to post comfy pictures.
>>16265 >>16266 I was able to upload it to plw so the issue has got to be with anon.cafe and not the file or my connection.
>>16266 >>16268 Continuing to have .gif issues. Can someone try to post this and figure out what the problem is? https://files.catbox.moe/c9oy5h.gif
>>16271 This is the same problem that has a post at the top of this thread at >>15220 - the thumbnailer is choking on making animated low-res versions of your relatively high-resolution GIFs, so Lynxchan is killing it for taking too long which, by extension, causes your posts to fail. It's not a problem we can do much about, sorry.
>>16274 Thanks kindly for the detailed explanations, Admin. Cheers! :)
>>16274 >>15220 I see. Thanks for the response. I don't suppose contacting Stephen Lynx and telling him to fix his code would help? Being Stephen Lynx my guess the answer is "no".
>>16276 I, for one, would welcome you managing to even get a response from him. Maybe use a faster, more-efficient external thumbnailing approachs? But one thing the Admin pointed out AFAICT, it's less of an issue with the system being 'broken', than of the fact that the CPU resources allocated can't finish the allotted processing of thumbnailing high-resolution, animate gifs within the allotted timeout of a single task. Every frame must be compressed ofc, so this could be like 20 or 30 regular images that need to be completed within the timeout normally allotted to just one. Maybe more. So, I'd say just use something like ffmpeg to down-scale your gifs before posting them Anon? Good luck.
/shelter/ and /late/ have spam. Please take care of it.
>>16278 Working on that, the cunt won't fuck off. Hopefully they'll get tired trolling and go away. Gets little tricky when you work 2 jobs on weekdays, another on the weekends, and have to constantly moderate an image board to delete and ban some schizo who thinks his shit art will get him somewhere - regards, /late/ BO.
Admin I'm having difficulties making posts larger than a megabyte or two over the past couple of weeks. If the file is about 3MB or bigger, most times the progress percentage doesn't get to 100%, but even if it does I still usually get an 'Connection Failed' popup error. I'm posting from Tor if that matters. The filesize limit is still 20MB here, isn't it? >>16282 Keep up the good work. Breddy sure it's the same demented half-wit attacking other boards on the webring. It's the same, passive-aggressive, Worlds-Greatest-X-now-show-me-how-to-make-money-at-this-please, low IQ writing style. During one night when he was presumably drunk, he made a joke about "it's my job" to shit up our board. I don't know if this was a Freudian slip that he's a glownigger, or if it was just a mouth-drooler's introspection. Either way he's a poisonous, niggerpilling POS. Don't coddle him.

>>16283 I see this retard everywhere recently. I ban him as soon as I see him on /comfy/. >>16282 You're doing good work latefren. Take care of you :)
Trying to post an M4A file (15.7 MB). It allow me to select the said file but the post ends up empty without giving any error message. This file : https://files.catbox.moe/il6hir.m4a
I made a request in the board claims thread asking for ownership of /loomis/ can admin respond to it?
>>16299 Lucky day, BO here and passing by life has kicked my nuts mildly so i haven't done anything to that board per my streamlining plans, gib username or email (or something) and i will transfer it to you directly
>>16300 Username is 'croquis'
>>16301 There you go, didn't clean the schizo anon because his first appearance was there and i thought he was an overly enthusiastic anon at first, could still be but he has littered his stuff everywhere so he might as well be purged. Good luck and i hope i can post something in the near future.
