No.170323
And speaking of the AI general, maybe I'm just assuming things but I think things over at 4/jp/ have gotten so bad that some anons have just resorted to using that general to talk about Touhou, I might be overthinking it but maybe it's because it's a sure-fire way of talking with actually interested anons instead of speaking into the void in a copypasted slide thread. It's not exactly anything new per se, much less something bad, we've always had a lot of writefags in there and there's always been a lot of non-AI related 2hu discussion in there, but there's been a notable increase lately and some of the anons now posting have outright said that they're new.
On the one hand I'm happy the general I frequent has gotten more active but on the other hand I obviously can't help but feel annoyed at the circumstances that have made it more active and I feel sort of bad about the anons that don't like AI but have found themselves posting there just because that's where the Touhou activity went...

I don't have his exact words on hand and would prefer not to search, but the gist of it is that 4chan and related communities were used primarily by antisocial nerds who went out of their way to avoid real life, mainstream media, and, most importantly, real-world politics. To him, it meant that 4chan users were blank slates. Because they didn't care about politics, they didn't know anything about politics, so you could tell them whatever you wanted, and so long as you could tie it back into something that they did care about, like the media they used to escape from the reality that they disliked, they would listen to you.

It only has an effect on us when we hit the bump limit and we have to wait thrice as long to get bumped off the catalog as we used to have to back then (especially since A: /jp/ has slowed down drastically, and B: nobody in our general makes slide threads, unlike a certain other general).

There have even been 1 or 2 people in the past who tried to argue that /maho/ should disappear because "/g/ is kuso and a danger to harbor", no valuable points made whatsoever. People forget that moderation on here is actually active and things can easily be worked against officially if they ever get out of hand, like limiting a subgroup to their own thread for easy hiding if necessary, yet so many are unwilling to discuss even that because they simply don't like the subject matter.

If you want to stay apolitical, you need to be vigilant. As soon as you feel the need to "defend" your hobbies, you've lost; you're no longer dedicating time to said hobbies, you're instead wasting your life as a pawn in some freak's political game. The more time you spend "defending" these hobbies, the further you get from actually caring about them to begin with. There's people I followed back in the GamerGate days because they were talking about censorship in media, and when I check in on them now, they've devolved into full-on conservative political commentators, indistinguishable from the drek my uncle would listen to on the radio back in the 2000s.

haven't seen a community yet that openly accepts ai thats managed to keep it contained
after all, it means you're accepting people that don't care to spend time on the things they're posting. inviting a bunch of crap randomly associated together that you're now forced to filter through that boils down to a passing thought from the one who generated it: 'fern :t (((gigantic_breasts))) ((dark_nipples))'

>>170672>you're accepting people that don't care to spend time on the things they're postingYou're wrong, but as someone who's a part of the community I understand why you have that perception of AI. I'm not going to be the one to change your mind (was never really good at classroom debates and it seems to me like you've already made up your mind on this subject) but just know there are exceptions for everything, and in my opinion it's never a good idea to try to pass off assumptions on things you're unfamiliar with as fact, regardless of the subject.
I haven't really been contributing to the conversation because all in all I think this entire discussion has been largely unnecessary and has devolved (as any AI argument usually does) into people from either side of the coin trying to one-up one-another, nobody is learning anything from this and nobody seems to want to either. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I've already said countless times that we're not moving here, our regulars don't want to, and on the off-chance that we did, V has outright said they have measures in place to prevent whatever it is you guys are concerned about (

That seemingly banned the lolicon board and content (and creating one in the first place), but permitted and had non-stop threads for it on /b/ (and /c/, /e/, /u/). And now revealed to be an Epstein associate ON TOP OF ALL PRIOR.
Many people would suck moot's cock if they could, that's how much he is idolized. Which is bizarre to me, as everything about him points to the possibility of moot being a bad person. Not to mention he never cared about the average anon, he had his circlejerk already when creating 4chan, and a circlejerk that was known to have lolicons and self-declared pedophiles.

I've spent longer than I should lurking this guy on X, corroborating on old.sage, etc.
emails with moot, many OG's recognizing him, the lynchpin being a now vanished blogpost on 4chan itself called "Anatomy-of-a-legal-th
reat" which certainly existed at one point in time.
He must be very close to the truth; not lying about what he says. I suspect there to be omissions anyways.
However, his motives are clearly tainted with personal resentment over moot becoming the famous one, despite also admitting that "they" fronted him out of legal cowardice. Well, of course the CEO reaps the biggest rewards, or gets put on the hot seat when the company is in t he shitter. moot has clearly moved on from this with some of the most dedicated and total severing of ties I've ever seen, and but this Luigi cosplayer is still wallowing in all of this while simultaneously calling him pathetic and provoking fights again, (now that the Epstein emails are fresh and he feels he has a solid platform to launch his vendetta from)
Here he is revealing himself and making drama public with Asan. Actually, I was much more sympathetic to his cause until I saw this display.
Asan has his account priv locked and I'm sure this didn't help. He airs it out himself as if it were to make him look better here:

People just don't remember it
So I could easily imagine if he owned 4chan he'd add a bunch of pointless new features or boards (so like Hiroshimoot) and get influenced way too much. Hell current day Notch's "politics" is very clearly a result of influence and pressure folding rather than being his actual beliefs, for the same reasons why I wouldn't want some wingnut like Musk running the site out of concern that he'd start messing with nominally apolitical boards in an attempt to influence the board culture (like yknow /jp/'s) I wouldn't want someone who would likely end up getting pressured and influenced by /pol/ to mold the rest of the site in their image running the show (btw in relation to that I just remembered /pol/ found Musk's namefagging history after that H1B Visa thing

This is becoming dangerously offtopic and we are going to piss off the mods big time if we keep at it, so this will be my final post on the matter.
One thing to take into account is that most people are not aware of the "bilingual emotional bias". People that have English as a second language will be less emotional when using it. Being an douchebag and using offensive language is a lot easier in the non native language, and the speaker won't usually be aware that it may not feel as trivial and neutral to the other party.

My uncle ran a toy shop at some time and would give these to me when I was a kid. I've experienced a bunch of consoles from ones looking like the Xbox, the Playstation, the PS3, and some rare educational keyboard of some sort where you could learn a bunch of educational content that's made for kids. Unlike the famicom, these consoles are displayed via composite cables rather than RF cables.
I loved the multi-carts and their hilarious covers but they usually would have the same game repeated multiple times on the list because they're usually just different hacks of the same game. Since famiclones were my first introduction to the NES, I did have fun with all the different games that were on those carts.
Though I have to say that I haven't seen any good famiclones since like 2009-2012 since nobody seems to make or sell unique designs anymore. They all now have HDMI ports in them, are made with the same generic styles to them and don't accept carts anymore.

Small bit of news. moot commenting about meeting Epstein.
https://www.theverge.com/tech/879132/moot-4chan-jeffrey-epstein-meeting-pol>Epstein had nothing to do with the reintroduction of a politics board to 4chan, nor anything else related to the site. The decision to add the board was made weeks beforehand, and the board was added almost 24 hours prior to a first, chance encounter at a social event. His assistant reached out to me afterward, and I met with him one time for an unmemorable lunch meeting. This happened at a time when I was meeting hundreds of people a month while speaking and networking at tech events.>I did not meet him again nor maintain contact.

Also, I'm not sure what triggers 4chan to demand you let them make the spur us token, because it isn't just having adblock on.

Those are VPNs. They come from datacenters that buy IP blocks and rent them to end users so they can evader blocks on other services. Legitimate or illegitimate, they don't care.
Thing is, reverse engineering IP blocks is easy. All traditional VPNs are blocked on 4chan and many other services.
Big corpos (facebook, twitter, reddit, discord, roblox) usually don't bother blocking VPNs because their problems come from bot farms - thousands of computers hooked to a common-ass ISP
But 4chan blocks all VPNs they discover and so do other websites.
This is when residential VPNs come in play. They are literal VPN botnets, who through apps like Tuxler (owned by Israeli company Brightdata formerly Luminati) and more obscure installable services, they grab an end user's IP and borrow it for usage in another service.
The IP pools these guys manage are massive. We talking high million to low 10 million. It's impossible to block or manage by traditional means.
Therefore its easy to block VPNs. It's impossible to block residential VPNs. You have to block real ISPs to achieve that.
The only way you can block them is by attacking the resVPN end user directly, through aggressive fingerprinting of browser and OS settings, down to figuring out kuso like whether or not a device's clock is out of sync with your device.
(By the way if you have Tuxler you are part of a botnet and liable to get swatted because Brightdata sold your IP to some schizo 5000 kms away used it tp groom kids on Kik. Uninstall that kuso ASAP.)
There's also "professional" residential VPNs that sell an extremely limited and curated pool of IPs that they personally take care of spoofing, those cost an arm and a leg and have a 3 to 4 digits IP pool.
Brightdata, IPRoyal, Oxylabs and others are all residential VPNs.
Now, Spur us is a very high skill company that basically acts a client to every resiVPN that goes public, and some that are private. They research and log their IP pools and run heuristics for clients in order to identify resVPNs. They even have a analytics tool for clients called Monocle.
Spur is very new and relatively obscure. They likely lack the infrastructure to be adopted by big companies - if they ever care enough to tackle resVPNs instead of the bot farm cancer (and there's really nothing stopping Spur from tackling bot farms either)
4chan and KF may be their big breakout - stopping a pedophilia proliferation network is certainly a headliner story.
I wouldn't be surprised if they become the new unicorn cybsec company this decade.

If you IP is from a Turkish owned IP block and suddenly a Vietnamese server is using it to connect they are going to notice and flag your connection.
They also integrated with 4chan to track session cookies. So if a session was originally created in France and suddenly a Canadian IP is using it, and the browser+os fingerprint matches, spur flags
That also means that Spur.us and 4chan 100% have an enterprise-level custom agreement.
The tl;dr spurs doesn't log anything but where you connection comes from and has no way if identifying who's the person behind the posts.

Of course arguably the root cause is the handful of devs that went "fuck it" and spent time and money self-hosting servers and instances, but now it's large enough to be self-sustaining.
4chan as usual is a reflection of the wider internet so loli/shota scene becoming public and normalized is in turn reflected in anon posting habits.
Also caused a lot of actual csam people to infiltrate the scene so you ended up with the likes of the proxy site - originally a loli community - going masks off as soon as they felt untouchable.

The data generated when you enable Spur's domains and let its code run when you solve a captcha for the first time is uploaded to Spur's database of known IPs used by VPN/proxy services to check if your IP doesn't belong to these services. Additionally, it checks if you aren't doing weird things, like appearing in different locations in a short time (jumping between IPs), having the same short range of IPs be used by a lot of users, having a timezone/language that doesn't match your IP's location, and if you do, it flags you as a potential proxyfag and lets the website know it. 4chan's staff then use that data to ban and block posters, IPs and IP ranges.
