LynxChan 2.7 + Aleph Changelog: Love Letter Edition Codexx Root 02/20/2022 (Sun) 08:26:48 Id: 7c5adb No. 4917 [Reply] [Last]
Apologies for the late changelog, but 2.7 was a little unfinished and I wanted to see it polished off. This is a combined changelog for 2.7.0 through 2.7.5. Functionality Added Multiboard menu for users with JavaScript enabled. This will let you create, name, and manage Multiboards. This is a first iteration and we have a few ideas for how to improve it. Refactored a number of forms. Custom Thumbnails are now available. Let us know if you think any file formats should have their own thumbnail! You can now send multiple reports at once. Style & Markdown Dice now preserves each roll. These can be viewed by hovering over the roll. 10d6 = 45 Markdown FAQ has been updated. Fixes Fixed board message formatting regression. Fixed Loading text sticking around after a hover reply loads. Fixed some issues with filtering/hiding. Improved XSS security. Thanks to ipsec for bringing this issue to our attention.

>>5385 That primarily affects messages from the backend, so (most) error messages and post dates should be converted. We're working on adjustments to the frontend that will allow other text to be automatically translated. Hopefully that will be ready soon.
>>5246 >>5248 Can you explain why my performance will randomly tank for no good reason when I have a tab of this site open which miraculously disappears and never happens again the moment I open the task manager to see whats going on? Along with the fact there's been no effort to fund the site through donations or ads in the entire 2 years its been running leads me to believe money is being made from it some other way.
>>5395 Can't say I've ever experienced consistent performance issues while running the site. At least not these days. I used to have constant memory leak problems with imageboards but I fixed that by putting my swap file onto an SSD instead of an HDD. I'm pretty sure Acid runs (owns?) a firearm store and Codexx is a full time programmer. I doubt the money they could harvest from some shitty browser based crypto miner would even make a dent compared to their yearly salaries. I think the most logical conclusion is that between the two of them the cost of the site just isn't a significant financial hit.

Weird anomaly on /ask8chan/, my board. Hello, recently there is some post that don't have an image and all have specific subject and name. I'm sure it's from one guy or that's just normal cause? Thanks I just too lazy to download anything. Pics not related to threads.
1 post omitted.
>>5367 Thanks anon but how in the world they can create a thread without an img? This is an imageboard by the way.
>>5369 As a BO it is your job to set the board up to your own liking. Requiring a picture for a new thread is a checkbox setting inside your boards settings panel. Click key. Click board. Click setting. Click save. Done.

2.6 Changelog Codexx Root 08/02/2021 (Mon) 07:42:53 Id: 70ccc8 No. 3436 [Reply] [Last]
Changelog 2.6.0: Libertarian Edition Policy You may now request your board have custom JavaScript enabled. All custom JS must be non-obfuscated and compatible with the AGPLv3 license so both users and admins can check for malicious usage. You may not redirect users off-site, nor track them in any way. A number of pages have had their wording corrected. These pages have now been vetted by an attorney. "Wrong or Expired Captcha" should now occur less often. Style & Markdown CSS has been reworked. There should now be fewer files and a simpler hierarchy to traverse, along with less contradictory rules. This may break compatibility with some themes, but fixing them should be easier than making them. Please look at any of the site themes for an example of how to style a custom CSS file. Dice rolls now support adding and subtracting, and have had some bug fixes. Lain Theme Added Moe OS Theme Added Secret Themes Added Fixes Fixed some features not working correctly with replies added by WebSockets. Captchas should no longer reflow the page

So not only can you not report multiple posts at once despite the check boxes being exposed in the UI for whatever reason, but you get "Flood detected" when reporting posts for the same reason back to back. It's like everything about the report system is designed to make it as unappealing as possible to interact with.
>>4750 It went away but now it seems the upload box issue has returned once again.

[Request] Replace the Board List with the Webring Menu Anonymous 01/13/2021 (Wed) 03:58:58 Id: 487115 No. 1880 [Reply]

They're both vastly superior to this. Thanks.

Do you need help with it? I would reimplement it as just a separate webring.html page that is served statically and updated once a minute.
The Webring List is gone.

Since you faggots (Cakekike and Acid) are already prone to degenerate social media shit-posting, I figure it's time to put those normalnigger proclivities to use and attempt to generate activity in a minimally intrusive manner. This ought to be done through utilizing the various social networks and platforms that have been developed and grown over the recent years, such as federated pleroma/mastodon instances like shitposter.club, peertube, and decentralized LBRY video hosting either through the odyssey platform or desktop application. >the fuck would you even post to these places to generate activity An "official" pleroma 8moe account could post every time a new site update occurs, or the result of hunger game events for boards. Hypothetically it could even be configured to make an announcement every time a new board is created, but that's probably a bad idea considering this site has zero curation on board creation and announcing [Insert pedonigger board here] is god awful optics. Regardless the objective is to generate discussion and discovery about the site in a way that attracts new users that are less likely to be completely cancerous faggots. And by consistently "advertising" the site on platforms that are generally used by autistic individuals to begin with you can maximize the quality of users attracted. Advertising the site on places like twitter and reddit is met with disdain for good reason, the kind of retard using these sites is not the kind of person anyone here wants to interact with. But if the advertising campaign is focused exclusively on platforms that align more closely with the ideals of an imageboard user, privacy, security, anonymity, decentralization/federation, it'll increase site activity while inviting users that are most likely to conform to the existing culture. Anons should discuss which platforms are acceptable, and how they should best be used. A pleroma instance, shitposter.club for example, could be used for site updates, hunger game announcements, and things like that. Maybe even announcing special event threads. An LBRY account could post video content created by anons, such as game night clips or other OC related to the site. Shilling campaigns are a double edged sword, but I think if we have productive critical discussions about how best to approach it ITT we can do it right.

>>4335 >muh tor If you're so desperate you want 4cuck brand idiocy, why not go there?
How about advertising on https://poa.st ? They're fast, seemingly growing in trajectory, and full of free speech focused shitposters. Seems like a good bunch to me.
>>4613 >can't view content without signing up Gay, but any FOSS respecting project is probably fine for shilling. Generally I'd lean towards avoiding the Qnigger areas and lean more towards the autistic tech weeb areas though. We don't need more retarded /pol/ shit, we need fun interesting autists that will populate cool boards.

. Hey, you have some kind of bug in redchannit that breaks links to the .onion. I assume it is supposed to replace any .onion links with the redchannit, but it doesn't work right. And by posting a crafted link e.g. http://4usoivrpy52lmc4mgn2h34cmfiltslesthr56yttv2pxudd3dapqciyd.onion/http://onload/http://4usoivrpy52lmc4mgn2h34cmfiltslesthr56yttv2pxudd3dapqciyd.onion/ You can at least add unintended attributes like "onload" and "src" into that broken link (check the inspector on that link when browsing from redchannit). It's not too serious YET because I haven't found a way to get values in there yet, but with some fuzzing it might be possible. So I suggest you fix it :^) regards, webring friends.
(985.63 KB 884x663 smoking maid balc.png)

Sorry about that. Every once in a while redchannit will cache the onion site at the same time as the main network hiccups. If that happens (the stars align) it caches the bad fetch and breaks for a while. Should be all good now.
(24.25 KB 768x114 a.png)

>>4550 Maybe I wasn't clear; when browsing from redchannit.com, the markup for that link should not look like pic related:
>>4556 Ah, I see what you mean. That's a vestigial function of the tor2web proxy. T2W was originally designed to use a round-robin DNS to translate any onion URL you put into it, and has a subroutine that rewrites detected .onion URLs to its own domain for user's convenience. That system is disabled on redchannit's backend in favor of using the internal whitelist method, locked to the main .onion address instead. I can take a look into it to make sure it isn't actually doing anything with those parameters, but according to the main config file everything related to that system is nonfunctional.

Form inputs on this site autocomplete data that I've entered into other websites like usernames, email addresses, etc. This poses a risk to accidentally partially doxing myself. The issue is that the autocomplete attribute on form inputs is set to "none" when it should be set to "off". I had to write a userscript to add the proper attribute and now it's no longer auto-completing. It also prevents the captcha from trying to autocomplete which was really annoying.
This was a very old bug in LynxChan that we were the first site to fix. I can't imagine how it came back all of a sudden, but we'll look into it.
>>4524 Which browser do you use, and what version? We will try to replicate. >he issue is that the autocomplete attribute on form inputs is set to "none" when it should be set to "off". Unfortunately, this is not a straightforward solution. While this is how the spec says it should work, major browsers deliberately ignore this setting and will attempt to detect and autofill forms with particular names. The response from developers has been rather condescending; Chrome's team in particular feels that "users want autofill" even if a website explicitly says it should not be used somewhere.
>>4527 Latest Brave Windows 7. Like I mentioned in OP, I wrote a userscript to change the attribute and it stopped autofilling. Perhaps different browsers honor different attribute values. I am sure a user agent check could help determine which value to use.

2ch style Anonymous 11/28/2021 (Sun) 08:27:39 Id: 000000 No. 4497 [Reply]
If I make a global stylesheet for 8chan.moe that emulates the style of old 2ch.net (now 5ch.net), can it be accepted as a site style?
Short answer is yes. I love a good theme and the more choices for users the better. Longer answer is maybe. There's some criteria for being added to the dropdown, which includes ensuring the theme is usable with default site functionality (markdown functions as intended, posts highlight when selected, homepage layout is fine, etc), selecting a syntax highlighting theme that matches the theme's style and is readable, and providing an appropriate logo for the homepage. If you have a theme to submit, you can post it here on /site/, or e-mail it to the administrators. I can be reached directly at codexx (at) cock (dot) li.

Porting over 8kun's /clang/ board to 8chan Anonymous 11/03/2021 (Wed) 16:36:54 Id: 9aca40 No. 4404 [Reply]
I don't know the moderation of this site very well, but I've read that they're willing to take posts from other websites to salvage dying boards. 8kun has been steadily destroying all remaining pictures posted by users so I wish to preserve the few boards I still mingle on. I don't really own it, but I'd really like it if this place could salvage what little is left of https://8kun.top/clang/ if that is possible.
>>4404 You need to make an account, verify your e-mail, and claim the board. After that, send an e-mail to codexx (at) cock (dot) li with the request. We no longer require you be the BO of 8kun boards for an import. Unfortunately, I cannot recover the missing images, so only the test posts and what images remain will be imported.

EDIT: RECRUITMENT ENDING SOON We will stop taking applications at the end of this week. If you're still considering applying, please do so soon. With the LynxChan 2.6 upgrade finished and a little bit less on our plate, we're now ready to start taking on more global volunteers. I want to lay out a bit of what you can expect: >We're looking for autists who lurk the site a lot. The more time you spend with a tab open, the better. >We're especially looking for at least 2 people in the 4am-8am America time (CST) hours. >We're looking for people who give a shit and want to help, but who aren't looking to be overbearing mods. >Globalling is low-volume but high uptime. It's easy, but being vigilant can be boring. >You need to be dependable. Everyone takes breaks, but you can't just no-show for weeks at a time. The site needs you, and you need to act like it. If these things are mostly agreeable to you, please contact us at 8moeadmin@protonmail.com with the following: >Your account name (or TBD if you don't have one yet) >IRC handle (if applicable) >Have you ever modded before? If so, for how long and on what site? You don't have to name the board if you wish to keep it private. >What your most common available hours are to do your jannying.

Stop browsing imageboards period if you don't want to be on a watchlist or deal with glowniggers.
