Why is this meme so popular? Anonymous 08/22/2024 (Thu) 02:49:11 No. 16048 [Reply]
First, I don't ever bother running this meme because it hurts my eyes seeing how painfully slow it is, and then devs chose to write the entire thing under a fucking bash script. You could write this in pure C by getting out of your lazy ass, and some baseddev did. https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch. At least, now when I type this meme command, my eyes won't hurt.

I would really like a website where I can explore ideas and ask questions without fear of censorship from governments, admins, or what I say following me in real life. Image and text boards come close, but they don't take things very seriously sometimes.

I was looking for a chemistry book but google books downloader (2.7 version) dont download all the book, it seems that only download a part of the book and I dont know about other software for do it.
I don't know if it downloads the entire book but https://njw.name/getxbook/ exists. I'm not sure if google books even lets you access more than a small subset of pages, so I reckon you'd be better off with anna's archive as the anon above suggested

Torture/Brainwashing - EM Radiation/Voice2Skull Anonymous 09/25/2023 (Mon) 17:00:53 No. 13173 [Reply]

I found out they were pedophiles and they've ruined my life. Audio files contain all the torture, beratement, humiliation I endure 24/7 and to this very moment done by illegally bombarding me with EM radiation (sound is in the air). Videos, images, text documents contain information I've been collecting, cars that I've seen following me all over the country, etc... it may not all be accurate, but I'm fearing for my life and not sure how much longer I have to live. I most likely now have cancer from prolonged em radiation exposure and have severe PTSD from the trauma they caused me. Patterns emerge over time, and the pattern is clear: I was never supposed to know this was happening, and because I found out, they've been ruining my life in various terrible ways using technology and social engineering. As far as I can tell, they've been doing damage control for months now, perpetuating the whole ordeal while keeping everyone else who is involved in the dark while they tried to figure out what to do with/about me. Now most people involved know that they've been lied to and that I never consented to any of this nor wanted it in the first place. Even to this very moment as I type I'm hearing, "nobody is going to believe. just kill yourself" over and over. I'm not sure if anybody can help me and I'm suicidal at this point, not because I want to die, but because I've been tortured for 11 months now with no end in sight all to emotionally blackmail me into not doing things they don't want me to like leaving my own house or eating sugar. I was literally actually tortured (isolation, sleep deprivation, drugging, shocking, food/water deprivation, and beratement) for 2 weeks straight earlier this year until they coerced a "confession" out of me to both use as emotional blackmail and to shift their blame onto me while others perpetuated the "process" thinking they were "fixing" me or "helping" me. In the end, they were all lied to by a certain few individuals to cover what they were doing. Evidence I have can be corroborated by others involved and literally anyone who may have been recording anything at any time in the area for any reason........ People involved can corroborate my story and the identities of the people involved; some that I have already identified. I have evidence in my body as far as I can tell and as far as I have been told, but every time I get X-rays to prove such, I never get the results. I've requested medical records from a recent hopsital visit and a doctor visit, both of which I had X-rays done, but I never receive the images with the records even when specifically asking for them. They've stolen my identity and have been controlling basically every aspect of my life for years now. I haven't received any mail for years pertaining to SSD, Medicaid, or otherwise because as far as I can tell, they are lying to the government in my name. I can't work regardless because of what they have done and are still doing to me at this very moment: keeping me in a highly distressed state, running my mind in circles, going through the same story over and over for......brainwashing. And because of that, I sit at home, staring off in space, unable to function as a human. All so they can attempt to force me to do what they believe is "right" or what's "better" for me. - As I type this, they are telling me they are going to tell everyone I'm a pedophile and/or paranoid schizophrenic to smear my name and/or discredit me. It seems quite telling to me that instead of denying any of this, they have already planned to smear my name instead of defending from the facts. So be prepared for some social engineering to sway opinions/emotions instead of focusing on the validity of my claims. I'm currently uploading all of my evidence. I have 200GB of data uploaded already and much more is coming. I am unable to review the evidence myself as they have full control of all my online accounts and computer/phone as far as I can tell. - My physical body is failing at this point, so all I want is to attempt to stop these people from doing this to anyone else before I perish. I've lost 60-70lbs since they started doing this to me. I have a lump on my testicle. I have moles and red spots all over my skin. This may or may not be from radiation exposure they've given me, but I didn't have a lump on my testicle until a few weeks ago. They manipulate my emotions by various means to prevent me from getting the help I need - health, legal, otherwise. And I have accumulated severe PTSD which has affected every aspect of my life. "Nobody is ever going to believe you. Just kill yourself." Torture and brainwashing to eat my vegetables. Please help. Please advise. Some of torturers:

Fellow Anons - I need your thoughts on a new website concept. Anonymous 08/19/2024 (Mon) 10:14:04 No. 16007 [Reply]
The concept is simple. A place where people can create and discover topics in a structured way. Each topic serves as a digital room where people can post content such as text, images, webm and voice chat. Each topic can have subtopics related to the parent topic but of more specific nature. Subtopics can again have subtopics etc. Everyone can make topic room about anything at all and everyone can post content. You can post anonymously without logging in. Hopefully you could try it out and let me know what you think. Maybe try to do some posts or make new topics about something you care about. Experiment all you want. Any feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly appreciated. The site is: https://depvana.com feedback: https://depvana.com/topic/4 Best,

Hashchan.network is a leechboard that piggybacks on ethereum eventlogs and ipfs pinning services (or other hotlinked content). This makes it serverless in the sense anyone can run a client locally with their own eth rpc. Hashchan was designed for the proliferation of AI botnet swarms that drown out authentic content. Highly shilled content can cost a dollar to post on mainnet, but this means it costs 10 dollars for a botnet to 10x your posts.

General thread for discussing Codes of Conduct and other attempts to take over technology with political aims and enforce behavioral constraints. Point out languages and products that try to force politics on their users. It's become commonplace for tech startups to virtue signal, and for large open source projects to attract users who contribute little in terms of code but demand favorable treatment. Additionally, some have started including political messages in the software itself, or naming releases after issues the developer cares about. Some argue that such constraints and impositions violate the spirit of free software by requiring an agreeable political alignment between developer and user.

POWBlock - Developing a system agnostic Proof of Work backend Anonymous 07/08/2024 (Mon) 01:36:13 No. 15564 [Reply]
You know, it occurs to me that despite being the site's sysadmin, and this being my bro Codexx's board, I literally never post my tech autism here. Maybe I should change that. If you'll pardon me making the equivalent of a /blog thread, I want to talk about some of my current ideas. As some anons are aware, over the past 4 and a half years I've become something of a guru at programming Varnish VCL. 8chan's entire network is bespoke and we've had to deal with requirements that no normal, Cuckflare-and-cloud-storage website needs. As a result I gained an absolute shitfuckload of hands on experience in hacking Varnish code. This has led to a minor obsession with pushing its boundaries, and making it do useful things that it was never designed to do. One thing that's been on my mind for literally *years* was the idea to make Varnish do the Cloudflare thing with a frontal POW and bot detection system. You can do this with Nginx and setups like this: https://github.com/C0nw0nk/Nginx-Lua-Anti-DDoS which is what Josh used as the basis of his "Kiwiflare" system. But no such tool exists for Varnish. I wanted to change that, and funnily enough I pulled it off several weeks back. It can be done though careful hacks of the error handling subsystem and abusing the object cache to track user session keys. But then I got to thinking, why hoard it? Since my original system was already using an external validator script (the prototype was written in Bash using netcat rofl) why couldn't I just move the system itself to a fast little backend that was designed to hook up with *any* frontend proxy? Not only would it save me a lot of work in the big picture, but other people might use it too. This became the idea for POWBlock. The first thing I decided was that I wanted it to run as a script. There are several reasons for this but the big ones are: Portability, lack of dependencies, and simplicity. The Bash prototype is obviously garbage from a production standpoint, but Python is fat and fucking slow. There is a reason why the Nginx POW system uses Lua. Lua is small, light, fast, low overhead because it was meant for embedded systems, its in every server repo, and has an HTTP server module with solid security and concurrency. Its not good enough to run a whole website off of, but if you want a zippy little script-based HTTP application like this it is far and away the best choice if its something you actually mean to deploy. Since I wasn't a Luafag I needed to start learning. After a week of reading and basic practice, I decided to move forward with some help from ChatGPT, henceforth called "the nig." I've found over the past year that this is great for practicing code. You learn the very basics, design your program yourself and break it into key sections and functions, throw your ideas and functions at the nig, and then learn as you go because you have to debug its shit and occasionally hand-write functions where the bot can't get it right. Its shockingly effective hands-on learning and I've been picking up Lua in record time. Its also nice to just hand the nig a big block of code you banged out and say "comment all this shit for me." Saves a lot of writing. Now you have the backstory, so let's get into the concept. POWBlock is a Lua-based mini-server that has exactly one job: It runs on a box somewhere and serves as an alternate backend for an existing frontend proxy. When a user visits the shielded site, the proxy can send them to POWBlock and force them through a Cloudflare-style Proof of Work browser check (and eventually other checks), give them a cookie to prove they passed, and send them back to the site. You can do this with Varnish, Nginx, and even fucking Apache. Control is handled by the frontend proxy, where you configure rate limiting and other basic anti-DoS functions to protect POWBlock itself from being flooded out, and it uses a system of custom HTTP headers to communicate and for security. My next post will be the prototype code for the server, so you can get an idea what it does.

This is called a VCL Module. They plug into the main VCL code that drives the caching engine via a leading include"" statement. 8chan's network frontends use about 24 of these that I've written over the years, so this is just one more. But you can see some of what we need to handle: First we scrub all custom header values from the client's side, to make sure he can neither spoof nor see any of the headers or values that we're using. Then we parse the user's Cookies looking for POW, and if it exists we ping the Redis storage for the user's IP address to see if there's a stored value. If both exist, and match, the user is let into the site. If they don't match, we run the rest of the POW subroutine, which: >Generates an X-Pow header with a random 8 character session token >Sends the token to the Redis store keyed to the user's IP address >Sets the magic header >Switches the backend from the 8chan main CDN gateway to the POWBlock server >Saves the URL the user was coming in on and sends it in a header >Connects the user to POWBlock with all necessary information supplied What isn't shown: Forward rate limits, DoS throttling, URL locking, request sanitizing, header normalizing, and a bunch of other shit the main VCL code will do for security before it even gets to this spot. I'm sure it'll need to be tweaked for an actual deploy, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. And I need to write a nullification module so that if a user gets past this and fucks around, it will null the value of their key in the shared store and force them back to the POW or even ban them entirely. >Why bother with all this shit and why make a Lua server instead of just putting it on the site, maybe with the splash disclaimer? Because it can take upwards of 60% of the load off the frontends in the case of a major attack. POWBlock can run on its own shitbox server (and even have DDoS protection there) and if the site is getting hammered like hell, then its POWBlock taking most of the assraping instead of the servers we actually care about. And these things are so cheap and easy to set up (install Lua, install 3 Lua modules, stick the script in systemd, fucking done) that the servers it would run on can be wholly disposable. You could have 50 of em, each running a forking instance, and divide a big attack up between them.

Additionally I imagine you should also clean server_nonces in case users never complete the pow.
