There are a few instances in the codebase of suspected NFS or a globally sycnd dir.

Namely:
quick_log_to("/www/perhost/bad-upload.log", "unrecognized file $upfile_name");

$path = '/www/global/yotsuba/config/captcha_config.ini';

$path = "/www/quarantine/$reportid";

etc...
/www is just a folder on unixes. Nothing here implies it's NFS/something remote/synced/whatever. The log path also being on /www strongly implies that this indeed is on the disk directly, since nobody stores logs on remote storage (would you write logs to an s3 bucket?)

Most rehab centers say 2 weeks of purging is enough to get people off their addiction and set on a path of being clean, I wonder how much 4chan addicts themselves will be cured. Thats all modern 4chan was now people chasing dopamine and reactions barely anyone wanted to talk normally.
Place your bets. What will happen first? Bossmanjack getting kicked out of rehab, or 4chan going back up?

I can believe that. The feds want people in their honeypots and nowhere else. They'll ruin any upstart site that ruins their glow ops. Kinda goes with the trend as well of the Internet getting smaller
The schizo in me also thinks that feds NEED to have 4chan stick around. Who else are they gonna blame for school shooting or MAGA-related incident number bajillion?

I’m too old to change my ways. I’ve always hated discord, I don’t like other forums, and social media isn’t good for my hobbies.

/tv/ was the only place I could discuss Stargate, /tg/ was the only place I could spam bait nogamer threads on and still hit the bump limit, and when I was in college I do believe that autistic retards on /fit/ drastically changed my life and helped me lose the weight with eternal /fph/. Today I wanted to post the terrible bread that I made and I had to post that shit on xitter, where surprise surprise, zero interactions. On /ck/ I’d have a dozen people cursing me out and several people actually giving me advice. What’s the alternative, going on reddit and posting bread and getting a dozen useless comments quoting marvel movies?
Yeah, 4chan is irreplaceable, even though its been in decline for years the Internet already feels shittier without it. And like Null says any new attempt will be flooded with CP to take them down.

That other guy on here is right, I keep going back to my bookmarks due to muscle memory and then remembering 4chan is dead.

Best way to get rid of an addiction is to replace it with another.

I'm pretty sure that they would still be writing on disks since the infamous Mac Minis happened when Snacks was around fucking eons ago. I highly doubt moot cared enough to really revamp things before he left and god knows Hiroshima hasn't changed things.

@Null have you considered making a pinned post so people don’t keep asking the same questions or reposting the same images
If someone wants to write a SUCCINCT, but complete summary that covers the main FAQ, go for it. I would feature it.

Needs to cover:

- Who? (Sharty)
- Why? (/qa/ drama in brief)
- How? (PDF exploit)
- What? (Post a lot of details about what was uncovered, esp. janny details + moderation board + source code + extremely outdated FreeBSD/PHP/Ghostscript)
- What not? (Hacker's explanation he's not going after pass users.)
- For how long? (Find my post about how it might take weeks because they have to reformat and redeploy everything and it's really unclear if anyone on earth knows how to do that at this moment.)
- Alternatives? (If you want to link other boards, do not link ones with lolicon/shotacon. I honestly don't know any off the top of my head but you guys might. You can also link a few KF boards and threads if you want. Also, explicitly state that I do not want to run an imageboard unless gookmoot wants to hire me.)

Caste, Skin color, Pigments, and Melanin don't matter much. What matters is race, genetics, ethnicity, facial structure, jaw shape/structure, head shape, nose shape/structure, etc.
Your post reads like those things where Jeets insist that they're Aryan. You will NEVER be a white man!

Basically confirmed incels were a byproduct of Israel posting demoralizing stuff and BBC race porn. give it 2 weeks off the website and incels will be mostly cured

They will just chase other IBs or reddit.
 
Well, getting retards to use darknet honeypots to incriminate themselves is one thing, but do they seriously need to fuck up altchans in the process and expose innocent people to the radioactive shit?
Just my 2 cents but coercing everyone back to their monoliths is the best way to keep track of everyone. If fragmenting the user base of the internet still worked it would be difficult to keep track each chans(or any website really) culture to truly understand what are they discussing. With the way things are you have to monitor 5-6 websites. Much easier than whatever obscure 50 altchans. If governments were run by competent people in the 90s-2000s they would've made a bigger, more intrusive social media. They were probably seething having missed this opportunity.
It's more convenient to mold the old mentality from:
"I'm going to hop and surf the Internet to see what I can find!"
to
"I'm going to scroll on Twitter to see what the algorithm offers."

Edit: Now that I think about it, it's not even reshaping the old mentality of existing users. It's better to not give them the option all together.
