In my experience trying to automate moderation works well with generic spambots that are repeatedly spamming large numbers of sites, usually with the same links over and over again, but doesn't work so well for dealing with pest users. It becomes a game for them to figure out what triggers the moderation and get around it.

Exactly, it's a very big point of friction and I've noticed it myself when using websites
Ideally a user would be able to post without creating an account at all, the "account" would be one created by the system automatically and tracked by the normal poster cookie
Only if they decide they want to track their posts over multiple threads like an integrated and enhanced 4chanX/XT, or get lower posting limits or captcha free posting on multiple devices from different IPs would they feel like making an account, or if they want to persistently moderate a thread/be a tripfag or something

>>2802
I'm still not set on it being closed source or not, mainly thinking about it because it would make implementing certain features without bots bypassing them much easier and would ensure some degree of lock-in and total control over what happens with my work
Security by obscurity is not ideal but it still works
There is no way for the client to know what goes on in the server since I'm not planning on using PHP, and if I decide to bundle the frontend by using a templating engine instead of a separate REST API that will basically make it a black box in terms of what it does, can do, will be able to do
If it actually develops any unique features it will basically ensure that at least someone will post there if they can't get the feature set anywhere else
>which community
I think a technical board would be the simplest to set up at the start since I would also have some interest to post there, maybe something with flags related to foreign cultures because those tend to be very buzzword-centric and would be a good test
Anime boards I think are too common these days, every altchan has 7 of them
If I make it open source then it will be much simpler I agree

>>2803
This is in the pre-planning stage still, I'm reading up on other scripts what they could do, what were the limitations, what parts made them unique over the rest. If I don't run a site I'll just open source it and spam it everywhere until someone picks it up.

>>2804
I would consider most low quality posters no more sapient than spambots. You could train an LLM to predict their posts with nearly 100% accuracy. Even something as simple as a buzzword detector would work because eventually the new posters would have no idea what the spammers are talking about.

>If it actually develops any unique features it will basically ensure that at least someone will post there if they can't get the feature set anywhere else
People don't come to imageboards for unique features, they come because they want to talk to each other. Getting people to use your imageboard, especially the people you'd want using your imageboard, is by far the biggest challenge.

>I would consider most low quality posters no more sapient than spambots.
Don't underestimate the intelligence of your shitposters. A pissed-off smart person may decide to flood your board with retarded posts out of spite, and moderation in any form is guaranteed to piss someone off.

>buzzword detector
A retarded monkey could get around that and will find great joy in doing so.

>eventually the new posters would have no idea what the spammers are talking about.
The kind of posters we're talking about are often near-incomprehensible in the first place. And don't forget that on an imageboard you can write in the image and use the images as avatars.

That said, I wish you success in making automated moderation work even if I doubt it's going to happen.

I mean I've heard people say that something like liveposting is important which is why they want to stay using meguca

Probably, but I'm sure 4chan will get even worse until then
People will inevitably leave

Hopefully the auto-mod manages to deal with it then

True, but I think that's only part of the statement. I'm only speaking for my midwitted self, but unique features could help keep users you attracted coming back. Especially if those features are conducive to discussion and finding discussion over other similar chans: "What makes your anime altchan full of dweebs and teens different from every other anime altchan full of dweebs and teens?"
I think it's helpful if the site feels good to use because it's the first thing you interact with, and it gets you a surface level feel before you start dissecting board culture and know if you want to assimilate with it or not. That is to say, I like how Kissu functions on the user end.

>Don't underestimate the intelligence of your shitposters.
I know this full well. Once a sufficiently motivated spastic has a bone to pick with your corner of the web you're going to struggle to get rid of him. They'll do anything in their capability to tear down whatever semblance of 'home' or community you've got going, knowing full well there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Yeah, if I open an altchan and it's another generic Yotsuba B with /a/, /v/, /pol/ boards I'll just instantly close it like the other 20 before it.

So I have two old youtube accounts, one from the mid 00s and another from some time in the 10s. Well, I don't remember the password to either since I never used either of them for very long.
Google wants a phone number for me to recover them, so I passed. So I decided to make a new account and google wants a phone number.
Is there any tech solution to bypassing this, like there's temporary emails? I don't want to give google my phone number.

Golang has some REALLY weird behaviors with slices.


x := []int{1,2,3}
xSt := x[:0]
xEd := x[0+1:]
xSt = append(xSt, 4)
xSt = append(xSt , xEd...)
fmt.Println(x)

 No.2888

this is such weird behavior... i know that a slice is a reference to the object in memory, but why isn't the append inserting new blocks of memory and instead overwriting the old in another memory reference? That's not what an append is supposed to do

C Compiler decided to be stupid for some reason and it turned
if (ffbottom >= bottom-1 && R_FFloorCanClip(&ffloor[i]) && !curline->polyseg)
into
if (ffbottom >= bottom-1 && cv_ffloorclip.value && !curline->polyseg)
It compiles fine on Linux and then when I went to compile under MSYS2 on windows it was doing this garbage. I had to get a friend to help out (reading assembly) just to discover my compiler was being cursed. I don't understand.

 No.3618

Rust's compile times are just so untenable with the Tauri version2 release.

It's getting to the point where my consideration is to not even use it directly to write Rust code and do things using their event system or WASM if need be.
Making an edit takes like 30 seconds to get a response back from Rust-Analyzer now. I just can't do this with a language which is very strict about propper syntax.

Tauri's mobile stuff is pretty nice. You can't escape kotlin if you want to do things that interesting, but there is a plugin to override all the android buttons using javascript and it's not hard to set up. Can hook into android studio somehow too.
Being able to write webviews in Javascript+HTML+Tauri is super handy.

Please help I'm retarded. I'm trying to install a new local music AI thing for the heck of it but I'm very confused. I think I've done this environment thing before, but I'm running into issues.
I did the stuff here: https://github.com/ace-step/ACE-Step?tab=readme-ov-file#-installation and I think I installed it all correctly and I'm now at the step where I need to install the "requirements.txt" stuff, but that's a file that's supposed to be installed locally right? How do I point this anaconda thing to it? Or do I install from the folder I made with git clone? If so, I did that but I can't run this thing at all.
Or am I reading things incorrectly and steps 3-5 were for the venv thing? But either way I can't actually get this thing to run...
ARGH WHY IS THIS STUFF SO ANNOYING?!

I never explained this originally but its code from part of the software renderer in a game I'm hardcode modding. It decides if it should clip out columns from drawing. For whatever reason when compiling for Windows this somehow gets mangled and it instead always runs it when the console variable is on which breaks the water effects and causes the start lines on the first map to draw black boxes under them. Occurs for Windows builds when compiling with MSYS2 and when I cross compile on my Linux Machine, native Linux however is completely fine and doesn't seem to have this issue. I've been trying to figure out why it does this to no avail.

The lines of code that has this issue on Windows starts right around line 1447 in r_segs.cpp: https://codeberg.org/NepDisk/blankart/src/branch/blankart-dev/src/r_segs.cpp#L1447

I am able to get a 3090 Ti for relatively cheap and I was thinking now would be a good time to upgrade the rest of my PC as well, since most of the hardware is from around 2012 or so.
I'm wondering if there is anything to keep in mind regarding "bottlenecks". I have seen that word thrown around a lot these past couple years, but whenever I try to do research on CPU-GPU bottlenecks, people say the calculators are BS and that it doesn't really matter anyway. So, could I just go all out on a really good CPU to be able to use it for as long as possible, or is there any reason to get something specific to pair with the 3090 Ti?
