I've grown weary from a lot of these channels begging for money. It's obnoxious, and I feel a lot of these people don't really put out enough quality, subjective as it is, content to justify having a Patreon or whatever.

Seems like it was actually .org TLD. It does seem to be down though, and unfortunately their robots.txt disallowed crawlers so there's no archives anywhere.

>on another circlejerk board called /tea/
On an unrelated note, I like the concept of ephemerality behind /tea/ but find the implementation with doushio liveboard to be lacking. The issue with liveboards is that you have a few people monopolizing the conversation, and it tends to result in short lower-quality posts. The non-linear conversation flow and more frequent back & forth interactions also make it harder to join an existing thread, making it feel more like it's some sort of pseudo-private dialogue between individuals rather than an open forum.

Opps.. I forgot to donate to wikipedia. Time to set that right.
>> No. 33858 [Edit]
>>33856
I'm convinced Wikipedia donations are a complete sham. There are other foundations (Internet Archive) that require several times more resources, have a tenth of the funds, and manage to do much more. I really don't think that Wikipedia needs any more money to pad their bureaucratic overhead, and your funds would be better donated to places like the Internet Archive.

If I had to guess, and be generous here, It'd say maybe it's the bandwidth. It's such a well known site that I'm sure is the go to for educational institutes around the world.
>> No. 33866 [Edit]
>>33859
I don't think bandwidth would be too significant a problem because pages should be able to compress nicely (mostly plain text), and the traffic patterns would be very amenable to a cache/CDN. Compare this to internet archive where a majority of modern pages are pretty much 3MB of minified javascript, and access patterns will be much less cache friendly. And either way Wikipedia has plenty of money already, at least according to:

Besides rating sites for media (Anidb/mangaupdates/RateYourMusic) and sites to stream/download said media (nyaa, madokami, filehost scrapers, libgen, streaming sites, boorus) I don't really go anywhere on the internet anymore, it has been homogenized into cancerous shit filled with/pandering to/advertising to ford-drivers. Even if you want to find niche content google et al always try to push generic popular shit on you. It sucks.

If it weren't for the fact that there's basically no really functional movie, game, book, or comic rating site I'd probably never go to any other part of the web at all. As it stands I occasionally search around for recommendation blogs or even recs on forums. It would also be nice if there was a booru site for art in general. There's wiki-art and google's art thing, but they both are patchy and have shit search functions.

>>33473

From what I've seen, getting an invite is pretty easy. One can get one on HN, too. With regards to lobste.rs' purpose, it's a more focused HN: posts should be strictly related to hacking, programming, software, etc. So it's like a filter for HN; anything related to tech companies' financials, social aspects of technology, politics, and such periphery topics should be verboten. The smaller community helps preserve this environment. However, there is a vocal minority that believes everything is political, and thus such topics should be permitted as refraining from those discussions is, too, a political choice. I believe the admins will eventually either acquiesce or outright capitulate to these people. And as we all know: political discussions ruin everything. Even sites that think they're above such consequences are ignorant of its detrimental effects on their communities.

>refraining from those discussions is, too, a political choice
Even if it is, what difference does it make? You'd think people who decided to use an obscure HN clone which doesn't aggregate that kind of news would agree with that choice. It's not like there aren't other places that already cater to them.

Not sure about a side-story trilogy but Rogue One and Solo were the side-story movies produced to fill the gaps in the sequel trilogy. No news about another side-story movie though.

Currently The Mandolorian is streaming and although successful, I don't believe it's what Disney had in mind when making more Star Wars.

Oh, ahhh, whooops! So it's simply a trilogy in five parts!

Well, you never know, maybe they did have games in mind. But if so, then that would probably be of an MMO or two. Still, they ought to be able to get that they should muster an appreciation of the industry, develop a bit of goodwill/reputation, and that kind of stuff, you know, at least make use of some stepping stones, so either way, they still could outsource it to those who took good care of it before, conceivably.

Nah, of course that ain't gonna happen.

Star Wars is one of those franchises that had a good enough start to become popular, kept it's momentum and did interesting things early on but by the time it lost it's soul and quality it was something that was already popular enough to stick around as something people attach more importance to than it deserves.

*Ick!*, screw that, the movies were repulsive! Besides ... source releases, hot damn, source releases!

But I'll offer you a compromise, let the original dark forces burn, and let the source for Outlaws come out instead. It's damn close anyways, and right there you have some of that much vaunted simple story Oh, it also had a cutscene codec optimized for animation!

Why? It's just above average, 70s pulp sci-fi. It's got a hero's journey and some aliens and a cool looking, mildly interesting bad guy and some space battles and a hasty redemption arc. The music is basically a shameless rip-off of Holst, but it sounds nice. Even if, IF, the games are better in some way, they probably didn't need to be attached to star wars.

Because it isn't any sort of simple narative display from a single source that has a concept of a simple universe to spontaneously share with everyone at all, it's a natural goldmine tapping the abilities of a wide range of contributors. Over the years, it ended up musterring some honesty towards this. But the original movies ended up forcing that to the degree that it could, and kludging all that neat setting and such around that incredibly lame space-paladin mythical theme.

But you don't need JS to track users _within_ the domain that they own. Cookies should be sufficient for that. And note that even Google doesn't do the tracking via JS, they do it via a redirect link.
>> No. 37327 [Edit]

I decided to do some digging and it seems that the bloat is because they're doing client-side rendering via a single page app. So not malice, just incompetence enabled via the usual web frameworks. That also explains why the page doesn't work with JS enabled.

Interestingly, if you force the mobile version of the site you get a much more responsive version (at the expense of having fewer images per page).

Other than imageboards I just use youtube, reddit, and gelbooru. I don't have as many complaints about youtube as others do. I don't appreciate big youtubers essentially getting censored but thankfully it hasn't affected me yet. I have a bad habit of letting my curiosity push me to read the comments sometimes and it's almost never worth it. Otherwise it's decent enough entertainment either as a radio for background noise or providing nice videos to watch.
Reddit is something I could complain about a lot because it really does have that many problems. Though I've noticed the people who like to hate on it do for grossly outdated stereotypes (fedora wearing atheists and such) when the users are anything but that and at least those old stereotypes might be people who can think for themselves. Instead it's filled with teenagers and children who can't live without a constant supply of low-quality memes, smug ford drivers, radical liberals, lazy or powertripping mods, punishments for "wrongthink" (ie: joking about trannies or posting sfw loli), and recently bots.
But it's easy enough to subscribe only to subs I like which is why I'm subscribed to so many subreddits for anime art and certain anime traits like pink hair or maids. A few of the common problems to reddit as a whole still exist on even those but to a much smaller degree, sometimes not at all. I like to post on the smaller ones and I've even made two subreddits of my own which I have been trying to gather users for through crossposting in the past month. It makes me a little happy when I post a nice image that makes other people happy and I like to make silly jokes sometimes. I can and probably should just post images to boards instead but I think I enjoy doing it more on reddit because, at the risk of sounding like a karmawhore, the upvotes, comments, and especially the post awards, are a way of telling me someone liked the image I posted and (hoping they even know how) saved the image. On boards I can post images that I think people would like and I would never know if they liked it or not because imageboards just work differently. So I really can just post whatever but I prefer not to be so lazy about it. Reddit at least keeps my goal in finding and sharing comfy images from being a complete waste of time or effort.
I think I already posted about gelbooru before but I like using the site because I can be as picky with tags as I want and the blacklist function is really convenient. It's really nice knowing that I could do most of that even without an account though having one lets me pick up the slack for users who didn't tag images properly or missed an obvious tag to use. I almost always have a tab with gelbooru.

I believe there's always tacit appreciation for any post on smaller boards. (Assuming the aforementioned post isn't low-quality drivel.) And, at the risk of being impertinent, divesting oneself from people's approbation (Especially of the low-effort variety as is the case here.) is a goal worth pursuing.

I agree but it's hard for me since I'm the kind of person who doesn't know when I'm doing things right or wrong without some kind of feedback from someone who knows better than me. It could probably be argued that if nobody is angry at me then I must be doing something right but a lack of feedback, such as no replies to a thread, doesn't tell me how to improve on something. This is, of course, even after reading rules and lurking, in the context of imageboards, then I can only do what I assume would be best and hope for the best. Maybe I'm just too inexperienced and uncertain as a result.

My biggest complaint is their change to the search and related video algorithms. Used to be when you watched a video, there would be a ton of new videos that were related and you could go down a rabbit hole of new stuff. You could go from something about guns to something about car manufacturing in an hour or so. Now, it's all just 1) videos from the same channel, 2) videos you've already seen before, and 3) videos from channels you were already subscribed to. This sucks the most for music, because I used to use youtube to find new music but now it just circles me through the same dozen or so songs if I'm trying to click my way down through a music rabbit hole.

Out of curiosity, what types of videos do you consume? Because outside videos I actively search for and the one or two times the suggestions have been appealing, I find the auto-recommendation close to useless and the quality of content mostly terrible. I suppose my use of youtube is closer to a fungible video hosting platform accessed through external sites rather than as a sticky "content hub."

I'd recommend deleting your channel and all of its subscriptions. If you do that, there's less temptation to "keep track" of what all of these people are putting out. I did that years ago. On the front page, there's now also an option to stop getting recommendations from specific channels.

Next to recommended videos on the front page, there's three dots with an option to stop receiving any recommendations from that channel. This applies to recommendations on the front page and every video. This feature works, despite being needlessly cumbersome and dumb ui wise. You have to be using the newest ui, so if you're on an old one for some reason, change it.

I've been using that feature for a long time but it really is a sisyphean task to filter out all the garbage yt throws at you. They have a virtually infinite pile of crap to throw your way while my patience is rather in short supply. Only thing that worked for me was to abandon the front page entirely and go straight to the subscription tab instead.

Aside from a different front end, which has its own problems, I can't think of any way that youtube could be improved when it comes to curation. There is an uploader based tagging system, but that's worth fuck all to other users. When internet speeds get fast enough for p2p video streaming to become tolerable, if that ever happens, I wonder if monolithic, poorly designed services like youtube will become obsolete. I feel like there's got to be a better way. I have been recommended things I ended up enjoying before, so boxing myself in to only things I know about wouldn't work for me.

My main gripe with it is how dumb it is. Say, I spend 4 months searching for a specific type of music on yt but if I click one solitary 30 seconds video clip of a shitty justice league movie, yt completely forgets everything I was doing and destroys my main page by dumping shitty cape shit movie clips. Shouldn't there be a balance in there somewhere? Doesn't seem hard to implement. It's been a long time since I visited my front page so maybe they improved that, I don't know.
I actually like yt, there's ton of stuff I would never know it existed if weren't for it, so my complaint is really just a small thing in the end. Doesn't really bother me that much but since we're talking about it, I feel like bringing it up.

If you could choose whether of not youtube "remembers" you watching a video instantly and an option to prioritize a video you like in recommendations, that would a step up. Private/incognito mode exists so, you can use that for anything you don't want to include.

One of the biggest issues is that youtube has things it recommends by default. It's impossible to completely wipe the slate clean since youtube already has its own idea of what people want to/ should watch.

Jewtube has a watch history that you can turn off so it won't continue piling things onto you based on what you watched. You can also toggle your notifications in the settings. With that said, I'm not sure how much it might help you. Youtube doesn't bother me too much because I have those things in place but also because I kept marking videos as "not interested" or "don't recommend this channel" until it eventually stopped which I think took a few years, I don't remember for sure but it's the best I can think of.

I looked through two sites that list other imageboards and I found nothing I will browse in the future.
Some boards looked nice at first glance, but browsing though them revealed that it was nothing I would like. This entire adventure was quite disappointing, there are a lot of boards I can't read because of the language (Russian, Japanese, Spanish), a lot of boards that shooed me away immediately (modern memes, politics, porn) and a lot of boards that were dead.
Overall TC is still the last imageboard that I enjoy. Since years I poke around to find other boards, but never ever I found one. If TC ever goes down, I most likely will quit imageboards, a thought that frightens me, because TC is the only interaction with likeminded people I have. ... I miss the 00s.

I've found a few other decent places, but I agree, no other imageboard has quite the same vibe as here. My guess is that it's due to simply being around for a long time and developing an identity and culture of our own. By comparison, the newer altchans don't have staying power and their culture is defined entirely by people fleeing the latest shitstorms on the larger sites.
I also think both the rules and the old-school presentation filter out the younger crowd who would otherwise ruin everything because they've only known the modern shitty Internet.

Some other altchans are a little flashier, with more modern-looking layouts, more bells and whistles like uploading multiple images per post, not having to manually use noko, etc.

Lately I've been on an imageboard kick, revisiting sites I used to spend a lot of time on in the days of yore. ED has an alright list of alt chans, although it could benefit from being updated since some of the listed entities are now defunct.

I'm curious though; what other imageboards do people here use? It would be cool to know of some that aren't filled with /pol/yp cancer and actually have active moderation

neet.moe is pretty good, from my experience with it. Similar to a couple boards here but less moderation.

Both of these lists are pretty outdated... I think by at least 6 months. I don't have a better one for you, but you may be missing out on some decent boards.

Agreed. Not a fan.
>>40105
Anything that disappears after 6 months, or is less than 6 months old, probably isn't worth looking at in my opinion.

>May I ask which boards you consider decent?
Nenpo (it's back), Smug, /late/, /kind/, Lainchan and Uboachan all come to mind. Some of them are quite slow, unfortunately.
The Channel4 BBS textboards are also still around, believe it or not, and still pretty much the same as they were in 2005.
>> No. 40108 [Edit]

I tried all of those before and wasn't particularly impressed with any of them. Channel4 textboards are actually the best of the bunch in my opinion in terms of quality.

Lain and uboa comes up with interesting stuff every now and then so I check them out sometimes but the more I actually interacted with people there the more I want to purge those places from my browser history even.

How can somebody be up to date regarding all the imageboards that exist?
I only know bvffalo.land and imageboards.net, but I have no idea how accurate and complete they are. Is there a way to keep track of the imageboards around?
>> No. 40945 [Edit]
>>40944
Crawl the ipv4 space (or pay for api access to shodan) and write a heuristic matcher to identify imageboards.
>> No. 40946 [Edit]

So there is no way for people who don't have that kind of skills?
Well then can somebody at least say if the mentioned sites are up to date? Or knows some that are?

It seems relatively comprehensive for English imageboards to me, at least the iblist one. It's missing a few foreign European language imageboards that I'm aware of (e.g. krautchan), and probably all the Japanese ones. If there's anything not on the list anyhow it's probably small enough that there's only one or two posters.
>> No. 40948 [Edit]
>>40946
Not up to date but I recall seeing a imageboard list on anon.cafe's /server/. Has a lot of non-english boards on there.

Thanks, anon. I wasn't sure if it is worth the effort to look through them, but now I will give it a go.
Your mention of Krautchan made me very nostalgic, I have lurked there for years. How I miss it... Not the last few years of it though. If the list contains imageboards that no longer exist is something I don't care about, as long as the existing ones are there.

>>40948
Great info, anon. I love threads on imageboards where people show other stuff they lurk, no matter if imageboard or not.

Please post here if you do find something good. I'm fairly sure I've explored all of the imageboards and this place is the only one that's consistently decent.

Responding to myself, I found mathchan which seems to be abandoned but has the most amazing captcha system I've seen. Each catpcha gives you a decently interesting math problem to solve.

Is the answer 2018 * 2017? I think so since that pattern works for {1,2,3,4} and {1,2,3}.
>> No. 40955 [Edit]
>>40953
Yes. It's fairly easy to brute-force the calculation since there's only 2 cases: the numbers at the end (1 and 2019) can each only be paired with 2017 choices, while all other 2017 numbers can be paired with 2016 choices.

Challenge: think of an elegant visual proof as to why it's 2019*2018.

Also here's another one. The rest of the ones I saw I didn't like as much because they either require more specialized knowledge (knowledge of electrostatics) or are just "simple" problems obfuscated with some math notation.

As requested by >>40950 I will post about my poking around regarding imageboards.
I was surprised to see how many lists are around, but they all seem to be outdated. The oldest I have found was put together in 2012, the most recent I have found received a few new entries just yesterday. Still all the lists I discovered name a lot of places that don't exist anymore. This lead me to the impression that there is no one around that bothers to maintain those lists. Some have never been updated, some got cleaned up a few times, but then it stopped. Even those that have been updated this year are in a bad condition. For example the one that has been updated yesterday has a lot of links that lead to nowhere, my guess is this person just wrote down all the places he knows and didn't bother to check if they are still up.
I started with imageboards.net and on some chans there I found a other chans and lists. Overall it was an interesting experience, but also a sad and disappointing one. The reason why I did this in the first place is because TC is the only imageboard that I still like. For a majority of the years I have been using the Internet I have had several imageboards to lurk. Now since years it is only TC, which lead me to search some variety. Unfortunately I didn't find it. None of the imageboards that I was able to find deliver what I long for, only TC does. I already came to the same conclusion in 2016, when I looked through Creamy's Imageboadlist, because the imageboard that used to be my home had cancer and eventually died from it. Since then TC is the only place I lurk at and outside of it everything got worse.
>> No. 40982 [Edit]
>>40981
Let me guess, TC doesn't show up on any of them?
>> No. 40983 [Edit]
>>40981
I've been in a similar dilemna, I haven't been using anything besides TC for the last few years. There's some boards I'd still go back and check once in a blue moon because it's hard to let things really and truly go, but they're all dead now.
>> No. 40985 [Edit]
>>40982
>TC doesn't show up on any of them?
On any of the lists? Not OP but TC usually does, it's not _that_ obscure.

>>40981
That's about what I figured, I did the same survey of imageboards about 5 years back, and concluded similarly that only TC has high enough SNR to make it worth visiting daily. "Afternoon Letterbox" also sometimes has interesting things, so I'll visit it occasionally, but the posts are much shorter .
>> No. 40986 [Edit]
>>40985
What is SNR?
>> No. 40987 [Edit]
>>40986
Signal to noise ratio, a term usually employed in EE/signal processing. In this context of imageboard posts, a place with high SNR means that almost every post is "good" (is interesting, contains useful information, etc.) whereas a place with low SNR information means that most posts are considered "noise" (short low-effort posts that don't contribute anything new, treading the same topics again and again, flamewars that don't offer any new insight, etc.)
>> No. 40988 [Edit]
>>40985
Also this isn't a practical imageboard, but if TC readers haven't seen this already I think the idea behind https://postbox.garden/ is very cute (not to be confused with afternoon letterbox).

I think it's a bit unfortunate that the newer postcards have bardcode stickers on them though which obscure part of the text.

Quite on the contrary, TC shows up on most of them. I assume the reason why it still delivers is because of the rules, the moderation, the slow pace and the dedicated community and administration, who actually care about it.

>>40983
I know that feeling, when my old home died many imageboards popped up and claimed to me the successor. All of them failed, but I still check in now and them, although it is always unpleasant.

>>40985
This is also something I noticed back in 2016 and now too. There are quite a few chans that are very active, but the content is just awful. There are also a lot of those that are quite slow and claim to be back to the roots, most of them haven't seen a post since weeks/months/years though. I wonder why there are so many altchans, when there is so little to no activity. Most of the imageboards I found I could already sort out because of too much activity or too less. Those that remained failed to meet my other conditions.

>Also whirlpool
I'm not sure if this was intentionally the joke or not, but https://whirlpool.net.au/ is actually pretty decent (or used to be anyway). I've stumbled on a lot of their older posts when researching things. Nowadays though I don't know how many graybeards are left on there.
>> No. 40992 [Edit]
Interesting, a Japanese news/blog site that covers a random mishmash of tech and non-tech news. And it has an equivalent english version as well (although most articles seem to be machine translated to English).

https://gigazine.net/
https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/

Seems like it's some variant of matome roundup type sites (like Sankaku). I'm honestly not sure I understand that whole part of the Japanese internet though. It seems like the difference between Matome sites and link aggregators like reddit/slashdot is that the former don't actually "link" anywhere and just directly paraphrase the original sources. Some people have negative attitude towards the matome sites, probably because during the paraphrasing they add their own editorial slant, which combined with the allure of advertising revenue seems to have led to some scandals.
