Which one of you is going to hack reddit then?
I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.
There just has to be a copy of the database somewhere out there…
This amuses me. Fuck that refuse scow
someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds
Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?
qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.
Which site did qa migrate to?
it’s soyjak.party
its a website referred to as the party, but im not saying the actual name due to the fact that it regularly gets spammed with csam and other violent things of the nature, its really a lawless land and its hosted in russia. its not hard to find if you look on twitter or something. even as someone who went on qa before, i have never wanted to step foot there, its not the same.
Not interested in that other stuff, but are there any sites you recommend that are closer to the old qa?
Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.
I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Allegedly Elon’s account.
Did 4chan had usernames and so? Wasn’t it’s deal that ir was anonymous?
Some of the boards use a system called tripcodes, which are essentially a username and password in one that are used when writing individual posts. It allows people to prove that they’re the same person across multiple posts, without anything as identifying as a user profile attached.
The hacker known as 4chan hacked himself? 😮
Turns out the hacker known as 4chan barely knows how his own code.
Who is this anonymous and why does he keep talking to himself?
Come over to Marblecake and I’ll explain.
I looked at some of the leaked source code and my god the code smells are so rotten its like they had a dead horse in the back for a while and its developed a stank like an Eric Andre skit.
It increasingly looks like nobody would maintain this bundle of wax besides under-experienced juniors who threw themselves at it, and apparently after moot sold it, it was never touched. It runs on an extremely old version of FreeBSD and PHP.
The fact this happened now as opposed to any time in the past decade is, I have no words.
Didn’t they get hacked pretty regularly in the past?
I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.
Kill WordPress now.
Also, the owner of Wordpress is allegedly a piece of s…
I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren’t asking a corpo for permission to speak.
Shaaaaaving cream! Be nice and clean! Shave every day and you’ll always look keen!
Stilton Cheese?
Satin undies?
Shit?
Satin undies?
Close. Soiled undies.
Ssssssandwiches
I wanna bet attackers probably thought it would be maintained by one or several of the most no-life, chronically-online users of the web… or that they would be waiting for an attack to get revenge in their typical unhinged way… and it turned out no one was maintaining or watching it at all XD
security theater is a quite effective deterrent at times.
Not even 4chaners thought it was worth protecting
I looked at some of the leaked source code
Where? I’d be interested in looking through it too
check some of the other chans and you will find a catbox.moe link to it.
damn it’s even in the original 140p
120x160, actually, but effectively close enough.
(e: also it’s a static image; no need to indicate whether it’s interlaced or *p**rogressive, because again, it’s a static image. And before you get pendantic: yes I’m aware that PNGs can be interlaced or progressive—but this is a JPEG—and those terms mean something completely different when referring to static images, compared to video.)
It’s also not a progressive JPEG either.

Now thats a meme i havent seen in 20 years
It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.
Boxxy must be what…40 now?
She turns 33 in few days.
Queen
I still would
34 or 35, I think. I remember learning that she was around my age.
oh hey you were 13 on 4chan as well?
I remember when she was popular learning that that she was like 10 years younger than me, so 35-ish.
Maybe they could do the world a favour and delete it - along with the backups.
I doubt there’s any such thing as backups, nothing on there is permanent that’s why so many archive sites exist.
No. For the same reason that they didn’t demolish Auschwitz. We must learn from our follies, lest we repeat them.
backups were always against the spirit of 4chan
10000 line file with no comments is honestly relatable as someone who took a job and had to wade through code like that
My nightmare source was only a few lines less, and it actually was commented. But in French. Label names were also dereived from French. The original author was dead, and Google translate was not yet a thing.
Go on…
Not the type of hacktivism we need but the one we deserve.
The hackers who took 4chan down come from an imageboard known as soyjak.party or “the sharty”. They are unironically, in terms of politics, more far right, and in terms of culture, far worse than 4chan from what I’ve heard and seen from the website.
Yeah - the real freaks left because moot dated like Brianna Wu or something stupid and weird like that. 8chan was the place for a bit.
4chan is owned by an anime figma company at the moment - i think Nendroid?
Is q-anon Elon Musk? What? I’m just asking questions.
What happened to that shit? I hate how something like that can emerge, take hold, push people into conspiracies and the right, literally destroy families, then go away and nobody cares
furthermore, it’s reinterpreted as a false flag or something that never really happened - there is never accountability
ContraPoints did an excellent video on conspiracy theories recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teqkK0RLNkI
You should check out the HBO documentary on Qanon. It’s fantastic. Essentially, no. However, I don’t doubt for a second that Elon didn’t try to co-opt it at some point.
He would certainly take credit for it.
That would be interesting. I wonder if anyone’s done stylometry on those posts
