Welcome home. Quilt 08/13/2019 (Tue) 02:35:16 No. 1
Back in the 8chan days the idea of a /late/ image-board, independent of our parent site was something of a pipe dream. Now we are here, long after our obscure birth in 2015. I couldn't have set all this up without the help of my friend Max, who also made the radio at radio.late.city, though other people contributed music to it. We hope to be in for the long haul, and for you to be in it with us. Enjoy, sleepy anons. And again, Welcome; You have a friend in /late/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Friends of /late/] https://anon.cafe/comfy/ 27/02/2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello sleepy anons. I wanted to note that the matrix server is down, and apologise for not clarifing this earlier. I'm sorry for any frustration caused. I want to set up a small IRC soon, so that people can drop by and mention any spam, reach out, and talk about the radio and such things. The report function has been broken for a long time, and I am sorry to say that I don't know how to fix this. In the next month I want to try to update the board software and hopefully restore this functionality. I check the board every day to manage any spam and make sure that there aren't any obviously unwelcome or especially out of place threads. As you might have observed, there have been some spammers posting every day using a script. I would personally prefer to not make use of captcha to fight such things as long as this is practical. All these posts come from chinese ip ranges, and I will try to blacklist the whole of the country from posting, if I can figure out how to accomplish this. It is very frustrating, but though I am relatively tech literate, I'm not very good at managing servers, and so there are some oddities here and there on the board. I hope to make some time and marshall some energy to do some cleanup on the board. I'm also thinking of some way to fund this boards costs through donations, alongside my own and other peoples private past contributions. I've become very withdrawn, and I find talking or writing very stressful. I'm sorry that I'm not more communicative at times. I still read and appreciate every post on this board. Thank you for continuing to post and spend time here. -Quilt 23/01/2022 [Old post text] https://rentry.co/yiyqa

Putting the date on posts is a swell idea, it makes it much easier to see the context of a thread. good work!

>>5444 Executing random code from strangers is a godawful idea. Without JS, an easy 95% (probably closer to 99%) of all browser security vulnerabilities do not apply to you. Mandatory JS also severely restricts your browser choice to one of the three big ones (Firefox, Chrome, Safari) or their derivatives.

>>5480 fair enough i guess >Executing random code from strangers is a godawful idea. aren't all programs just random code from strangers?

>>5480 >>5485 I was going to ask the same thing, what makes JS any different from Adobe Shockwave/Ruffle, the browser you're using, hell even HTML itself?
Anonymous 09/26/2021 (Sun) 10:23:20 No. 5495
>>5485 That's a false equivalency. Some rando JS that your browser downloads & exec's automatically is not equivalent to code in a Linux or BSD version control repository that has a history attached to it, showing all commits done by who and when, and with binaries signed by the dev team. I don't know (or care) how Windows or OS/X do it, but I'm guessing they also have some kind of system that guarantees integrity. RMS even has some kind of spield about "non-free JS" but I can't be arsed to search for it because I just avoid JS altogether. However, even that isn't an ideal solution. I'd much rather be back in the good old days of 1980's and early 90's when a simple 8-bit micro or Atari ST or Amiga 500 was all you needed, and a dialup modem text terminal comms software was sufficient to "get online". There at least, the possibility of writing *all* of your own software is realistic, and then the whole discussion about trust is moot.
Anonymous 09/26/2021 (Sun) 21:09:47 No. 5497
>>5495 Now you are practically just talking about closed source or otherwise opaque software altogether, JS is far from unique in this regard. >Without JS, an easy 95% (probably closer to 99%) of all browser security vulnerabilities do not apply to you. This is the same argument as saying that Linux is better because most computer viruses are designed for Windows (and nowadays Macintosh). Right but for the wrongest reason possible.
Anonymous 09/26/2021 (Sun) 23:29:59 No. 5498
>>5497 Actually JS is open source, because it's just a script rather than binary code. So it's not really about open vs. closed source. The main problem comes from the fact that JS code isn't audited by anyone who even claims to represent you. It's a case of the web browser blindly running Internet code inside a VM and praying that the VM is perfect. Good fucking luck with that! Now browser vulnerabilities aren't the same thing as viruses, so your virus analogy doesn't apply. Linux also has its big share of CVEs, as does every modern OS. In order to drastically reduce CVEs, you would need to drastically simplify the OS, and also reduce the codebase to a much more manageable level. They're not willing to do that. Instead they like to pile on even more code on top. They like to use "magic" solutions like new langages (e.g. Rust) and various mitigations. Those are obviously retarded solutions because they simply address the symptoms of the modern bloatware, rather than directly address the root causes. There's also a good reason for that: if the software actually became good, then it would put a lot of people out of work. And especially the entire "cybersecurity" industry, and the various intelligence agencies would be in deep shit. Because while most tech-related jobs profit from pumping out new and more bloated/janky versions of the same products you already bought dozens of times before, those two sectors are fully dependent on the sorry ass state of modern technology.

>>5495 Nonfree JS is exactly what it sounds like, it's JS licensed under anything but a free software license, so effectively just JS. >There at least, the possibility of writing *all* of your own software is realistic, and then the whole discussion about trust is moot. Holy shit yes, hardware drivers are such AIDS it's unbelievable. Even just looking at package size these things are fuckoff huge for no good reason, which should instantly make you distrust them. >>5498 To be fair to webfags, JS is a huge ogre shit in terms of language design and absolutely would be retarded to use even if there were no concerns about breaking security. I can see the use for something more advanced than static markup but JS is such a cancerous language only turbomongs would willingly use it for that.

Hey Quilt the captcha is broken, it's in constant "reloading" phase so it reads everything as incorrect even if it's right, please fix it!

>>5842 Oops I forgot to also write that the nocookies captcha is broken too, it produces a base-64 string 112 characters long when the captcha says it only wants 24.

Thanks for creating this site, and for maintaining it. I truly appreciate it, and it's one of the few places on the internet that I feel at home. On top of things to fix, I don't think passwords for deleting posts works, for some reason, no big deal though.

Is there a way to change the settings on your captcha? Both /late/ and /kind/ have this problem where global reporting spam says "Wrong answer or expired captcha."

>>6156 Kind might be using the same backend as us. As far as I know, I can only turn captchas on and off for some things, not modify how the captcha works. This is a lynxchan instance from late 2019, I think, and it hasn't been kept up to date. I think that if it is updated, maybe the issue will go away. I'm going to check whether there are some posts about a bug with lynxchans captcha though, because if kind has this issue too, then it might not be me screwing up somewhere in config.

The most annoying thing about Discord is that every game or community has one, and now info that used to be on a wiki or otherwise on the open web is cloistered on a discord server, often in a role protected channel or lost somewhere in a chat, which is of course, usually full of faggots arguing over unrelated shit, and overseen by powertripping mods. Have fun finding an invite and verifing your phone number to see that shit too. Server politics are disgusting, and ubiqitous. Informal pecking orders, a million different colored roles, so we all know who has the biggest e-dick. As many kinds of retards as they have pronouns with Discord. I HATE discord.
