Is it just the horsefucker or do all newfags have a mark
Just the ones we’re putting on a train to the camps
With the amount of data 4chan is serving, it would take several days to transfer the database and static assetsat least.
and no the whole thing is a gig or a terabyte, They delete /expire/archive content . For the same reason they can just deploy an empty board/site and let people make new threads.
 
Ben Garrison (yes that one) mocked mootikin's one-sided crush by doing his own research, talking to the girl, hearing what she had to say on the matter and releasing this drawing before news of Moot's departure broke anywhere:
fun fact: Ben Garrison made this image at my suggestion. I told him if he stopped yelling at trolls on /pol/ and courted them as allies he'd have a ton of fans. He disagreed with me over email, but the next day he reached out to Fredrick and made Cuck-a-Duck.
 
Nigga, yours already is. I can easily shut off and walk away from Chans, Soy's or youtubes and do so if the weather calls me outside. I was shitposting today about addiction because I've been there. This is one of the last sites I have to be careful not to get sucked in and become a dopamine-shitpost addict because it's fun and interesting. Thank you for taking slings and arrows and keeping this beast going so we can still have some fucking fun. no homo

That's hilarious. Do you know if he talked to the girl before or after the email discussion?
 
So now that I’ve had over 24 hours without 4chan I’ve managed to:
  • Get jacked
  • Get a girlfriend
  • Graduate college
  • Get married
  • Become a millionaire
  • Have kids
What about you guys?
taken 2 flights, had a couple of wanks, had a job interview and wondered how a bunch of cunts who DID IT FOR FREE must be feeling about now.
 
  • Informative
Reactions: Croak & Caw
They seem more willing to burn it all down and start anew tbh
For once, the sensible choice is being done. It is fixable but there's no point saving what we have now, better to start fresh with a clean canvas rather then fix one with shit on it.

that's amazing. I loved all this as it was going down, but once moot sperged and turned off the captcha and post limit on /pol/ that one day, then announced he was leaving shortly after.... I knew that we really might have gone too far. We bullied him off his own site. As much as a faggot moot was I miss that guy and that's just the gosh darn truth. An icon of simpler times I guess.
 
replace the members of staff who will now undoubtedly resign (good luck finding new ones).
Dear leader has already named his price. lmao
outside of the strange moving parts (e.g the PDF parsing) there's very little attack surface
I haven't read the source code; I generally buy it that weird shit aside (like, /sci/ LaTex support, PDF shit etc.) it is probably not super vulnerable. You still have to audit the whole thing though. Hopefully they had offsite backups of, well, everything. Code, sure it's hopefully all in version control somewhere; but the database? eh I'm not super confident. And you'll probably want to audit it as well...

And whatever ancillary scripts etc. you'd expect to see on their side... like, I throw up a little in my mouth just thinking about porting python2 (EoL was in 2015, around the EOL of FreeBSD 10.1).

And this is the thing, aside from the fact that it will take a full reinstall and pretty heavy retrofitting to a modern OS, anything that wasn't backed up offsite and pretty carefully controlled will have to be audited. Doesn't matter if you had an rsync running that preserved some deployment script, and that it still works on debian 13, if you didn't actually skim through it to see if the attacker didn't leave a surprise there for you.

I think a team retarded enough not to maintain their server is too retarded to pull this off.
Null could, and shit if I was Hiroyuki idk who else I'd get. If Hiroshimoot can pay RapeApe +4k a month for his exceptional chief janny service, the site could probably afford ~15k/mo for an actual person doing actual work.
