I think I started going on 4chan in 2010, and I'm sure that Captchas were already in place then. I remember noko and I remember not having (You)s, but I don't recall ever seeing Captchas and thinking, "Hey, these are new."

>>1886
a guy named kimmo alm spammed 4chan so hard with his pedo site moot cried for help from the website, between that and morons copying a botnet image and renaming it into a js file being spread on the site spamming it to hell moot finally added one

You should probably look into /cumg/ in the desu archives because these child rapists got good at hiding files in JPG and PNG files. I noticed you convert those to webp which might mitigate some of that, maybe.

Good call, I'm gonna look it up

Somewhat. If you're wageslaving, asleep, or doing pretty much anything away from your website, that is time spent that something illegal could be posted to the website, available to the public, precious time where the feds get closer and closer to looking in your direction.

It might be impossible for illegal stuff to not get caught by you, but the time spent that you don't notice it could ruin your life.

Yeah I understand completely, unfortunately everything is set up to fuck over small websites

>>2151
If I were to set up an imageboard, I would set it up in a way that makes it reasonably difficult to trace back to me. I don't want some zoomer cunt spamming dead black babies on my board to get my house raided because the feds say I'm the one hosting the content.

Cancer treatments have gotten much better in modern times. Cancer and having a stroke are 2 things that scare me more than any venomous snake bite or even getting shot.
Sucks that some people don't realize they have it until it has spread to their whole body and at that point the chance of survival is very low, even in modern times.

>every thread on every forum and every board is a demoralization thread

I just live in a van and take food from the local homeless shelter. Every week when my paycheck hits, I can afford another piece of tech lol.

I don't know man, it seems too simple to just blame women. Social media gives you a pretty false picture because you get random ass influencers trying to get views and set up a persona, it's not a great depiction of reality. At least where I live all the laziest fucks I've worked with are mostly dudes. And personally I haven't moved a single step towards having children, I don't want them since I don't feel like there is enough time in my life. I'd be a total hypocrite blaming that on women. Like how are you supposed to have a career and get your home setup and so on? Suddenly you are too old and there's a 50% chance of your potential kids having genetic diseases due to age or maybe your wife straight up can't have kids. But if you have them too early you completely fuck up your wife's career and economically rape yourself because single income is basically impossible nowadays unless you have a very in demand job.

Your wife shouldn't have a "career" doing bullshit fake corpo work. Your wife should be enjoying her hobbies while you work so that she can live comfortably, and then inevitably stay home raising your children, which is harder than having some bullshit "career".

Really makes you wonder about the immigrants doing the opposite. It's almost as if they're being imported to do what modern society won't.

The thing that really sticks with me about the 1990s is the diversity of the music. Every decade had their equivalents of 2 Unlimited and Nirvana, but the 1990s had some mad shit. They had New Age music! Do you remember New Age music? Fucking Enigma had two different songs that reached #1 in the charts (at least in my country). People were going apeshit for music that sounded like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F9DxYhqmKw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_sAHh9s08
...and those songs came out in two different years! 1990 and 1994. They were worldwide hits. Mental music is probably still being made now, but you never hear it on the radio or on TV. Everything is safe now.

However, as I recall, I think 2002 was already a bit lame, so 9/11 might have been the start of things getting weak. But it felt temporary, like the music and the TV just wasn't really for you and you just needed to wait for the good stuff to come back. 2008 was when everything went to hell.

Even the Anime, Koi Kaze was the fucking GOAT. Nobody has balls like that anymore. Like it's a fictional, give us a good show.

Imageboards are populated with zoomers pretending to be 30+.

It's been chill lately but last year I was sure global warming was real

>>2112
I was joking. I'm east coast as well, but closer to Canada. The weather is always a bit loony at this time of year. I'm a cheap bastard, so I'm not budging on waiting until Nov to put the heat on.

it's a neat minimal image viewer that goes fullscreen by default and can show file metadata on a corner of the screen that many image viewers won't like how zoomed in you are in an image, file size, file type, etc.
