They have some niggershit dataminer called integrity.wasm that scans all your ports and enumerates your hardware when you visit the site, and you can't post there if it doesn't run successfully (they call it a captcha, it's really a dataminer). If you get banned, the ban will follow you even if you clear cookies and change IP because of this garbage.
Solution:
>get yourself several VPNs all from different providers, free ones are fine>make a virtual machine>when you get banned in one virtual machine, delete it and make a new one with a slightly different configuration>connect to a new VPN>you will now be able to post again>rinse and repeatusing free VPNs inside a VM means the rest of your data will be safe as it'll be exclusive to the VM and not your whole machine.
Using a VM and changing the VM configuration also means they can't scan your real machine and datamine you either
>>278108417,31734>integrity.wasm is an invasive code that directly communicates with LAN to see if you are using Tuxler or Discord. This was implemented on the Sharty and was controversal among its userbase due to its privacy concerns (it is also notable that Ronald/JFK casually leaked IPs of users on Discord). I've commented the code out here, be warned that the source code is outdated and the current iteration is probably much, much more invasive>basically it fingerprints you a shit ton (discord, tuxler, gpu and more)>There are 2 main objectives of this module:>- Reporting if tuxler is detected as open when the module started>- Replying to commands from the integrity server located at wss://soy<kissu_blocks_this_url>jak.party/ws>The integrity server is able to send arbitrary javascript to be run on the client and have a result be returned to the server.>>278108417,31790>>31734>>31708very based resharing my posts, but you should link the source code of integrity.wasm that i posted so pa/g/eets can review it too

>>147827Toxic isn't a valid criticism because it's ebtirely subjective. What seems toxic to you may not be so for other people.
Moreso, I think kindness is a gift when it happens naturally without forcing it. The issue of calling someone "toxic" is it reinforces the idea that kindness must be the golden rule of a given community. When you force everyone to be kind and friendly it feels unnatural and, ironically, toxic. But when you let people express themselves there comes a point when kindness will naturally flourish and it will feel more special and authentic because you know for a fact it wasn't forced.

It should be obvious to anyone who was around at the time that this is actually impossible, as Warosu's ghost mode was disabled in 2015. In fact, there were several threads on /qa/ as well as on /jp/ spinoffs about it when it came back - not sure how you could have missed this.

For now, unless it's by Hiro or RapeApe, I wouldn't put much stock into anyone else's statement on the staff but the most we have gotten is Hiro saying "Later" on X and supposedly two leaked emails from RapeApe, the first one seemingly like it is genuine and the second one maybe looking like it is fake. That's not a lot to go on especially when none of them have concrete timelines.
Given that the Aussie hack only took 4chan down for almost a day which wasn't even as long as some downtimes for the website and this has lasted several times that, I am already bunkering down for the long term and settling in not having 4chan for a good bit given that is the case and I would suggest anyone else expecting otherwise to do the same.

If people are acting retarded, the proper response is for the mods to ban the offending users and delete the offending content, and to modify the design of the site to make it harder for people to act stupidly to begin with. All "user moderation" does is create an environment where everyone acts as annoying as possible all the time, thus attracting people who like being annoying more than they do talking about the site's topic (see 4/v/ for a perfect example of this)
With hobbies more generally, the problem isn't casuals, it's corporate greed. Giant corporations that only care about making money are going to want to water down their products as much as possible for the sake of more sales. In this case, gatekeeping does literally nothing. Instead, you as a consumer must have the due diligence to only buy so long as something appeals to you, and to move on to something else when it stops.

I know 4chanX(T) isn't officially supported and that most people use the new UI, but does anyone know how to fix this transparency in the top bar?
No.149374
>>149373I was hoping that 4chanxt(it's only xt with this issue) would be more proactive in giving me a way to integrate certain functionality into here but he's not...
I'll make an adjustment to fix the transparency when I work on some other features in 30 minutes

>>149373You can explicitly set
#header-bar { background-color: whatever; } in custom css.

KowakunotsuboDX (the blog that frequently translates 4/a/ threads into Japanese, they even have a Youtube channel) made a post translating xitter reactions to 4chan's hacking.

I think this is the first confirmed communication from GrapeApe about the situation after the leaked emails somewhere. Again, random replies to someone random on X and not committing to a deadline but noting for posterity.
https://x.com/GrapeApe9k/status/1914398565797126528I think again, this should confirm the team over there has no concrete plan even now on how they can bring the website back up. Being down for a week for any commercial website in this day and age for something of 4chan's size and having no ETA is almost unheard of.

>>149422Someone on this thread mentioned it and I have been thinking about it. It's illegal for a site to not make an official statement to the affected users, specially if there have been monetary transactions. As a 4cutie pass holder and amateur advertiser I think I'm entitled to a detailed explanation of the incident from their side, an apology and a way to compensate for possible data breaches because even if the soyteen won't release info on paypigs like me it doesn't mean he had access to it and who knows who else. Seriously thinking about suing 4chan, I live in the EU so it wouldn't be super hard, I just need to figure out how to carry on with it. Any tip would be apreciated.

>>149454Find a lawyer that deals in cybersecurity breaches (or in monetary bullshit) and express your grievances. Genuinely doghsit that they take this coy "teehee it'll be up soon uwu" approach, especially when transactions have taken place on the site
No.149470
>>149454It's a weird thought that the hack itself might not kill the website, but a lawsuit made because the 4chan staff are lazy fucks. How do passes work, anyway? Do they have a means of contacting holders/advertisers via email or something like that?
No.149472
>>149470Yes they have my email, they can contact me if they wanted but they haven't.
