P2P Imageboard Anonymous 02/29/2024 (Thu) 02:50:00 No. 14729
Sup /t/ I've been working on getting a p2p imageboard functioning for a while and I decided to start fresh more recently with a new project. It's still not fully featured per se, but I feel like releasing it in it's current form since it's still functional and I want to see if it works in the wild. Hopefully you'll be able to see the existing boards and start posting. https://gitgud.io/threshold862543/gladden To install: >install node and yarn (or npm instead of yarn) >run "yarn build" to get the dependencies >run "yarn start" to start the server And you can add whatever boards you like. This basically works like a torrent. Moderation is local, so you can delete files and posts that you don't like, but it won't be deleted for others necessarily (unless everyone else blocks them and there are no more seeders). "Subscribing" to others as moderators so you can trust them to delete for you is also possible I just haven't hooked it all up yet.

there are some default boards up, let me know if you are able to see the posts on there okay if you try this out also try adding the board "secret1" and posting there
Just added a css selector, you can also add your own themes. Next I'm probably going to work on reducing install dependencies to make this simpler to get started using.

Here's a public gateway where you can browse some of the boards but with posting disabled: https://gladden.peerchan.net/landing/index.html Configuring the gateway should be pretty simple, just need to forward external traffic to the port and change the settings in config/gatewayConfig.json

Would this require a poster to hold all files that are on the server, on thier own machine? These sort of imageboard's major flaw, is them being a vector for holding CP on one's machine. Which is the main source of anon hesitancy to using them.
This already existed in a way via Millchan on Zeronet. >>15280 An idea that I had to fix this was to split every file into two parts, a "file" and a "key", with checks on both sender and recipient to make sure that no user ever possessed both the key and file for the same object at the same time, and that when a file was browsed by a user only then would the network also seek out the key and decode it. But it had to be implemented in a particular way. You can't just encrypt a file because possessing "encrypted CP" is still CP, so the idea was that the file would actually be split somehow, like a pattern of alternating bytes, such that the "file" and "key" were each half of the completed object and not merely an encoding scheme applied to the whole.
>>15298 What about a setting (perhaps on by default) for holding images in RAM only, and only while you have the thread open? Is it still a problem since you technically download and upload the data despite not having it on hard drive?
>>15335 Yeah, exactly. If you had the file, and you browsed the site and it tried to load that file, then your system would request the key from someone and then hold it and the resulting completed object in memory only.
