/yohoho/ - Piracy

For the new IB discussion in the last thread, coding is ofc something I'll always encourage other women to learn. Tech is surprisingly less tranny saturated than you think, but it is fairly male dominated.

Webdev is what you'd want to focus on. Getting familiar with Ubuntu or Debian and the command line interface especially would be helpful as nearly every webpage is served through a server version of either.  Most instal docs are pretty good, but they may have outdated info. Like the Jschan MongoDB installation part is outdated but it doesn't matter if you're already familiar with adding a repo and installing a package. 

I don't want to make a huge promise of my time and then not be able to fulfill it, but if there's a desire to get a VPS and put an IB on it, I'd be happy to help with installing jschan but might not be able to janny sufficiently.

I'm the neet-chan who volunteered in the other thread and I would love to host my own separate IB, but my worries about doing so are:
>My general inexperience and incompetence. I've been a computer nerd my whole life but admittedly coding and webdev have never been my forte and I've never set up a website from scratch before, I've never set up an imageboard before, I've never led a public community before. Ideally I would like to have a co-admin with relevant experience to assist me, at least to start with.
>Getting hold of and vetting jannies so I don't end up with the same kind that LC has and we just end up back at square one, nor do I want to leave it unmoderated (if it gains enough traction to really need it)
>How to prevent it from being spammed with CP, as it will be inevitable. I'm worried about this the most because as the admin as opposed to just a visitor I could potentially get into serious legal trouble over it. I'm not sure if I could somehow negotiate to get hold of what LC uses for this, because that would put my mind much more at ease.

As for a general plan of how I'd go about it if the above were to be overcome:
I want it to be a general purpose female imageboard. I would run it on jschan because I do prefer this board software over tinyboard and I get the feeling the admin panel might be better too. I'm also quite keen on the witchy theme that's been mentioned, with a potential domain being witchchan.org if that's available but imo that has the possibility to attract troons and also men from wizchan. I don't have any other ideas for distinct themes myself. Global rules would be common sense ones for our neck of the woods like no moids, must be over 18 to post, no ban evading, etc.

Boards I'm thinking of having, but not necessarily starting off with all of them are:
/b/ - Random, shitposting. Single purpose threads.
/dis/ - Discussion and debate threads. Generals format.
/g/ - Girl talk
/cow/ - Cows, I would disallow subjects under 18. I would also have a specific janny for this board who is more familiar with cow culture than I am.
/pt/ - Not the queen, but short for pastimes. It would be for hobby and media threads including fandom stuff. (willing to accept a better name idea for this)
/img/ - imagedumps, I would mandate every post here has to have a relevant image attached.
/nsfw/ - Horny, if needed I would make it a hidden board like on CC. Nothing underage.
/meta/
Of course, what I do would ultimately depend on how the userbase develops and what it requires but these are just my ideas so far.

are we gonna make a rule about AI slop containment or am I overreacting

/dis/ sounds good as a concept but im 100% sure its going to turn into the shitter that /pol/ is right now and turn into an attraction for moid baiters. Look at the current state of debating in LC, even in the hidden boards nonas intentionally stir shit with malicious intent just to piss off other people. It'll just become a samsara of the same debate points circling over and over again. 

As mentioned in /shelter/ an effective method of deterring moids and a toxic userbase would be to have a cohesive topic theme of a generally female oriented topics such as fashion, fandom hobbies, knitting.etc (generalization here not saying its the only theme you could have for a female ib its just what I can come up with from the top of my head) having it be general purpose would lead to vague loopholes that become a nightmare to manage like the current state of CC. Making multiple IBs is definitely not plausible for a single admin, but in theory it would be best to separate these topics onto different sites because one of my irks about LC is sharing the same place with normies who put their input about topics they have no experience or knowledge about.

The flaws would be a slower userbase but I'd much prefer quality over quantity, an aspect that went downhill across the years in LC's content.

Ok, it's spoilered. Man we're really hitting the ground running with nitpicking huh?

>>193
kek sorry I dont mean it with malice,  I find the dinky animated pirates gifs much more charming and one of my pet pevees about LC were the occasional AI threadpics that are just listed out prompts on what the thread topic is  about rather than a vague tongue in cheek reference like the borzois. It just feels low effort to generate an image rather than find a funny weirdly niche image on the interwebs. I know Im thinking too deep about it but I'd rather this project be taken seriously instead of some back burner bunker thread to use when LC is slow

Instead of /dis/ it should be /gen/ for generals, there shouldn't need to be a discourse or debate for a general to be needed.
If the witch theme seems to be a problem maybe we should be brewers instead? It's related to "witchery" and it doesn't seem to attract troons.

How about an apothecary theme! Its also witchy-adjacent.
I also agree with /dis/ being a general conversation thread instead; discussion is encouraged but malicious debating should be forbidden or be done at a minimum for good-faith debates

Yeah, you make a very good point here I hadn't thought of. I was just thinking it would be good to have as a contrast to a non-serious /b/, cover more bases and let the two posting formats co-exist.
>>195
Agreed it should be /gen/ instead. Also a brewer theme sounds great actually.

>>194
oh you're good lol I should have put more indication that I was joking around. I hear ya, I love crusty gifs and midis, I really miss that from old internet. I'll be more mindful about what I pick for threadpics. Was mostly eager to get this discussion going.

Im gonna dip my toes into IB software coding wish me luck... I have some grasp on html/css so Im plunging straight into js. currently busy with college but once I get a source of income I'd like to fully go all in on making a website for fandom topics. I might start slow and make a forum first for the time being since I know a friend who has more experience in creating such.

>>181
>How to prevent it from being spammed with CP, as it will be inevitable. 
You wont be in legal trouble if you nip the bud asap and dont let them pile up. Usually theyre honeypots posted by bots and having a question captcha (e.g. board-tan name? answer: elsie) usually curbs the spam. iirc LC has a system that auto-deletes CP when its detected so a similar measure could be set up. Leaks do get through occasionally, but they become more manageable with security measures in place, you'll just have to stomach through them unfortunately. at best they're just text posts with disturbing descriptions with a link, at worst its softcore CP with a link surrounded by it.

>>181

Instead of exclusively for images, how about a board for media like the one on lc? I can only think of /m/ for the board name, so of course would love to hear other suggestions

This would be a good spread of boards for an established ib, but you might want to keep it down to one or two non-meta boards until you have an established community (as you've already alluded to). One thing I haven't seen implemented much is a visual separation of threads to encourage different posters to pick and choose what they like. This could be done with /server/ style thread-specific styling and a table of contents at the top of the page, so visitors don't have to necessarily scroll past content they're not interested in seeing. Does anyone know how many boards lc started out with?

>CP
It's not difficult to shut non-targeted CP spam down (e.g. ads and referral links) with some draconian blocking of certain ASNs. I'm honestly baffled that cc still facetanks it, and traumatizes its staff and posters with it, after years of dealing with it AND while running cloudflare (which has multiple tools that could be used to combat it). You could also block all commercial ASNs but your VPN posters won't be happy about that.

Looking at a directory of IBs it makes me wonder why theres so little female oriented IBs, the only ones I can think of from the top of my head are 4 in a sea of countless dead IBs made for and by moids. it makes me all the more determined to learn coding

>>266
I guess it's because the whole IB thing is, at least started as, moid-centric kek. I never state the fact that I'm a girl in a, um, multi-gender IBs because have you seen how moids lose their shit when they know you're a girl posting on an IB?

>>266
There are a few more non-english ones. Because moid imageboards are sort of default so you can make it about any topic and have easily a seemingly moid majority and female users that pretend to be or are assumed to be moids. 
If you want to make a female oriented IB you can't only have a femoriented hobby/interest, you also need to ban moids on sight because they are loud, they drown out female users and are never good posters. A mixed IB environment can easily turn into a moid imageboard just because a moidshizo screeches so hard everytime a woman admits she's one.

>>266
The whole internet is moid dominated. The only large woman focused website I can think of is mumsnet and other mother/baby centered ones. Wow and can I tell you how much whiplash I had when I first saw the acronym for First Time Mom... Thought I was surrounded by a bunch of seahorse dad tifs.
>>267
Yeah the second you say you're a woman online you're attention whoring just by announcing it.

>>272
>you're attention whoring just by announcing it.
fuck i hate how thats the case. I literally just want to find likeminded women who share the same interests but we have to speak in coded language just to find each other because everyone is considered male by default. we are in dire need of female oriented spaces, no wonder nerdy women troon out enmass a lot

Do any other nonnas remember the meme like picrel but by someone who can draw and also someone who is a misogynist? I used to see it all the time when a woman would take a picture of something and happen to show herself in the pic. It’s so funny because every soyjack that’s drawn over an actual picture has been a man doing this instead.

i pains me when i see ppl putting off creating a website bc they think its rocket science or sth
it really isnt
you dont need a vps or any of that junk
hell, if you host it over tor or i2p, you dont even need a domain name or tls cert
i can understand overthinking it if you wanna make a public site thats gonna have to deal with input from the wide internet, but if you just wanna get a feel of how it is like to get something up and running, there really isnt much overhead in doing it right now
you just need a webserver and an html file
you might have an easier time finding documentation for configuring the more popular webservers like nginx and apache, but in the end they all boil down to
>point to a directory where the files it will serve are located
>tell which address and port to listen on
then you just copy your files inside the directory you pointed to
you'll want to run it locally, so tell it to listen to localhost only
you'll also need to specify a different port since it will listen on port 80 by default and that requires superuser to bind to
normally ppl bind to 8080 when running as a regular user
then you can access http://localhost:8080/whatever.html on your browser

hosting a site at its most fundamental is basically just this, sending an html filen to be rendered by the browser
you can also use stuff like site generators that will automate things like using the same header and navigation menu on every page, also letting you write your pages in markdown and convert to html
but you should start at the basics
hosting a forum is cool and all, but you seriously need to have some idea of what youre doing first
i started my site as an archive of my own stuff, like posts and images, so you shouldnt feel the need to start with something grandiose
the design was also much simpler back then, i gradually made it more elaborate as time went on
biting more than you can chew will just make you give up before doing anything

That's really funny because she is something of a self-portrait. I am so tired. I really wanted to represent that in her

>>291
This is very true. I was only talking about vps’s and cli for the potential of having it visible for other nonnies. I just worry when I see “I’m going to learn coding” because that seems rudderless arrrgh. So steering towards maybe one of the common stacks like M/PERN or a traditional one like LAMP makes more sense in that way but a fun localhost project will probably have more adherence and willful learning rather than dry boring crap.

HTML and CSS always make me nostalgic for neopets. I used to make guild layouts and pet pages for neopoints kek.

>>291
Samefag but also for curious nonnies, most linux distros come with apache already installed and there’s a folder called var/www/ where you can put your site or even many sites. I don’t know how it works in windows or macos, sorry.

Localhost should also be accessible by other machines on the same network. So if you know the IP of the machine you put your website on, you can access it at that IP in your URL bar.

>>295
just a correction, but localhost is a loopback address, it will always point to itself
i think the address given by the router doesn't really have a name
but yea, you can do some funky stuff once you have a bunch of computers on the same network

Like my "server"'s IP (it's just an old desktop) here in this screenshot. That sounds awesome! I recently grabbed some cheap spinnies and have 8tb of free space. I figure I can slowly phase out the spinnies for ssd's to prevent them dying and taking my data with them...

>I recently grabbed some cheap spinnies and have 8tb of free space. I figure I can slowly phase out the spinnies for ssd's to prevent them dying and taking my data with them...
thats pm the reason i'll use raid5
it stores redundant information so that in case one of the disks die, it's possible to replace it and reconstruct the data
ofc the penalty is less overall storage due to the redundancy

i’d be down to be a janny for the new ib if needed

How do you nonnies feel about having a separate board for paranormal stuff? Like our own /x/?

I'd love an /x/ like CC had but it was kind of a magnet for weird threads. I think a tinfoil / paranormal thread on its own would be less like that. The tinfoil threads on LC are top notch.

Not getting something right away is normal for learning. That’s the whole point of learning. No one was an expert at C the first time, just like no one is an expert at anything the first time. Sheesh, lighten the fuck up.

>>397 
AYRT and I really should have explained more, it's less about anon's relative and more the general state of education and how social media and mobile phone reliance has made so many people complacent about learning how the internet or even technology works. Basic HTML and CSS is something that should be, and used to be, taught in school as a non-elective subject for at least like a term or something, maybe even a little XML depending on the class. I don't know, it makes me a little worried that too many younger people on the internet don't even know basic things like file search or managing multiple tabs. Can they even change the attributes on files to cheat on assignments? Probably not.

>>400
>Basic HTML and CSS is something that should be, and used to be, taught in school as a non-elective subject
I was never taught that in school and I still was curious enough to fuck around with my browser and find out what makes pages sparkle. I used to spend a good chunk of my day on the computer surfing the web, so naturally I got curious about it at some point. But nobody surfs anymore, they just sit on the same attention farms all day, where the visuals are all standardized, so they never get to wonder how some pages are so wildly different from others.

Damn, I never even thought about that. I'm a zoomer, but I'm old enough that growing up, there were still various platforms where if you wanted a cool profile, you had to pick up some coding to customize your space. I used to create little BBcode forum signatures to “sell” to people; fucking around with BBcode was the minimum. Younger zoomers and gen-Alpha will never even get those little “entry points” to understanding how the internet works. It's just there for them. They literally wouldn't even know [b][/b].

I was taught BASIC in school but it was an elective. It was a cool STEM class where you basically went from station to station learning about different stuff. There was a webdev part too but it used netscape exclusively for some reason, very bizarre. I don't remember it as well because I was just learning stuff I already knew from making shrine sites.

I'm learning ziglang. Yippie!

the websites looked like that not to appeal to the lowest common denominator and game SEO, but because the author had terrible taste and unironically thought it looked good

Neocities has a CLI and even a git hook! I'm not used to being given so much freedom from a free service.

There's WOTI https://womenoftheinternet.neocities.org/

I made one, but please be in mind that it's extremely new and I'm still hashing out the issues. The js button isn't working as of yet but I do want that to work. I'd also like to add an option for people to add their own 88x31 buttons like WOTI has. I think it's cute!

I just kinda wish there were transphobic groups that weren't all centered purely around transphobia, but around more joyful wholesome things like that.

>>1459
Usually I'd try to be friends (and by that I mean signing their guestbooks and putting their site buttons on my link page) with people who don't focus on their sexuality/gender on their sites. There are fewer of this kind than the gendies/troons but they do exist if you try to find them. It's good if you wanna pretend like it's 2001 before troons and gendies dominated the internet kek

>>1464
That's a cute idea! I need to figure out how to implement a guestbook.

>>1438
WOTI is ran by farmers so feel free to join it. It accepts female gendies here or there because they're obviously real women, but it's a good way to find normal women. Simply look for sites that don't list their pronouns - it's that easy kek. It's not a terf webring and almost 0 sites focus on troon ramblings, most of them are personal websites.

This could be used to create a sort of decentralized webring. Instead of joining a list and sharing space with random people, you create a page on your site where you only copy the buttons of people you actually appreciate. Though I see two problems here: the first is that it's completely one-sided (the other person might not link you back), the second is that there is no real canonical list of all sites in this disjoint group.

>>1467
It's really not that complicated, but depends on how your site is hosted because it needs to be able to execute CGI scripts.
I don't have a guestbook, but I do have a comment section, which is basically the same thing. The <form> only asks for a comment and an optional name, and sends a POST request (encoded as application/x-www-form-urlencoded for simplicity) to a short script I wrote that will then save the comment to a formatted file. The script won't regenerate my site (it's static), so I need to do that myself. Yes, manual comment approval is a feature, not a bug. Even if it was a bug, it'd be marked as WONTFIX. It's very rare for me to get spam, but it does happen.

>>1480
That's an excellent solution. I'm using Hugo to generate most of my site instead of hand coding because it's essentially just way too much rambling nonsense. It's easier to just rant in markdown and then have it generate the website properly from that instead of writing it all out. Thanks very much for your comment, I think that's very workable.

>>1454
could you spill the deets if the one site listed in the webring is a real website or just an example page of what a "normie website" should pertain

>>1482
>I'm using Hugo
Same. Then I can tell you that the formatted file is a JSON that I copy over to my website source and that I also wrote a partial to make Hugo use those to generate a list of comments under a post.
By the way, are you the webmistress of yarn-and-peeps? I don't mean to diss your style, but you seriously need to reconsider the visuals of your page. The background image is ffffffffine I guess, but dark grey text and blue links are impossible to read comfortably against it. There has to be a certain level of contrast between background and foreground.

They just accept it? No frustrations about the UI changes or how it isn't Windows? I guess most folks really don't give a shit as long as their browser works.

I've been letting them mess around with the live usb demo, and then they're cool with it after that. It's been awesome. Obviously if I could fix it without installing a new OS, I would, but they're bringing me 11+ year old machines with win7 on them... So...

If I had more free time I'd wanna make an imageboard solely dedicated to art. I'd wanna keep it strictly not sexual nsfw but I'd be fine with tasteful nude studies. I love art so much and the lolcow art threads don't satiate me. I'd have two main boards: /art/ and /disc/. /art/ would all be dedicated to self improvement, sharing tips, with stricter moderation to prevent a crab bucket mentality. /disc/ would be about art discussion, art cows, artist vendettas, etc; generally the more salty board.

>>2883
Oh that would be very fun. Would you make it women only or a general IB?

>>2895
I think I’d want it to be female-centric where the IB does cater to women and put men as a second thought. The average user is assumed fo be female but I honestly would not care less if there was men as long as they’d not post degen shit. They can draw as much tanks and mecha as they want.

>>2883
Love this idea! 

>>1356
I hate the minimalistic aesthetic of the interwebz now. Corporate monopolization has been the worst thing to ever happen to the internet. These images are beautiful

>>2883
>I'd wanna keep it strictly not sexual nsfw but I'd be fine with tasteful nude studies
As an artist myself, boooooooring, another overly moderated ib where women can only post cute sanitized stuff(aka "tasteful"), let us be free damn it, i can already imagine the threads filled with arguments about what is sexual or not.

>>2985
I hear what you mean, but whenever you allow nsfw content, it out competes the sfw stuff. Which, you know, makes sense, but it's just kind of disappointing.

>>2994
The solution is NSFW Fridays. The NSFW threads could get locked/hidden at the end of the day.

>>2985
Ayrt, I understand where you're coming from but I do have my reasons.
1. Men on imageboards are inevitable, and seeing coom from men is gross.
2. I don't necessarily see this as a personal feminist thing for women to freely express their sexuality or a reflection of my personal opinion on womens sexuality, I just don't like seeing coom.
3. This is an idea that I personally have, if you don't like this theoretical imageboard, you can go make your dream imageboard into a reality. 
5. I don't want it to be the sole imageboard people use, I don't want to recreate this weird "tribalism" among the internet that corps use, If you want to post men getting ryona'd you can post on fujochan or that other kpop ib. If you want to post coom you can go on /ic/, I don't want it to be the be-all end-all perfect ib that caters to everyone, because I'm not expecting it to be.
Picrel is what I refer to as tasteful nudes, and if you already assume the worst things will never actually happen, why even worry about something that isn't even real? Cross that bridge when you coom to it or whatever that phrase was.

>>3002
And if you already assume the worst things will happen, the dream is never going to become real* fml sorry i'm tired

>And if you already assume the worst things will happen, the dream is never going to become real
Nona, let's be real here, there's gonna be a lot of drama especially since you want to make a board for artcows, female socialization will do its job.

Anyways i have a better idea for a imageboard:
>Only women allowed, males get banned and scrotefoiling is allowed
>No lolcow and kiwifag shit allowed
>/wom/ board for random threads about anything in general, no nsfw allowed 
For /wom/ think about silly slide threads, talks about life, whining about something, venting, feminism sperging, talking about work, talk about bf or gf etc
>/art/ for anything art related, nsfw allowed but it has a censor image like in lolcow with Pixys ass
Anons criticize each other, help each other, post their work etc. Separate threads for those who draw, those who write, and anything else related to art.
>/m/ for weeb shit, games, movies, series and etc, no nsfw allowed besides mild stuff
>/x/ for paranormal, spooky stuff, conspiracy theories etc to not scare the rest of the userbase, no nsfw allowed only creepy stuff
If any privateer wants to copy it from me to make it their own feel free to do so since i don't know anything about coding, and you all here seem smart in this regard.

>>3019
Did you even read op's post? She doesn't want an all encompassing ib she wants an art focused one. This is just you pitching your own ib kek

>you all here seem smart in this regard
What makes you think that?
People have talked the talk about moving out of JC and running a new IB since before /yohoho/ was created, but so far nobody has walked the walk. Hell, this board wasn't even going to be created because nobody wanted to be BO, it literally started as a joke.

>>2984
This still exists, personal websites never really died it's just that people don't have much use for them anymore. The community is small but still here though

>>3022
Walking the walk means spending money. So yeah. I don't really feel like paying for domain registration and a VPS if there's a free board at the moment and no real momentum for another IB.

>>3041
Nta no offense, but you seem depressing to be around. It seems like you don’t want to even try in fear of failure and you have no good excuse to not pursue things. And when someone shares their ideas you act like a crab. I can’t imagine what it’s like to actually be in your head. I understand the importance of practicality but people are glad lc exists despite having spaghetti code and being total dumpsterfire. And if making your dream ib just requires time and a few dollars, someone out there will have had fun even if it lasted for a couple of months.

>>3044
That's crazy from just a few sentences.

>>3044
Ease off the rum there matey

For something completely cost-free you could potentially just use an old PC or something and have an IB accessible off of an onion address.

>>3047
Running an anonymous onion board from my house? Why don't I just call the FEDs and tell them to arrest me kek?

>>3050
There's nothing illegal about it, tho, nonnie. Tor provides the encryption. It's not very different from how LC is hosted right now, we're just skipping paying for domain registration.

>>3051
Samefag but I guess the domain registration would be the cheapest part of it anyway. That's just a yearly fee. Probably under $10. I guess I'll mess around with it and see what I can do.

>>3052
You will get a lot of bad actors on onion sites. With no IPs and no accounts there's no way to stop them spamming bad stuff and you getting arrested for not doing enough to stop it. I know this place supports onions but it's super risky.

>>3052
Based. For other ambitious Privateers out there expect to pay around $24 USD a year for a domain past the first year, depending on your TLD choice, and $12 USD a month for a usable VPS. Your TLS certificate should be free.
>>3047
This can be done with a hidden service if you're confident with your skills, no exit nodes required. If you're not then skip the IB part and make a single page website, no need to share it if you're not confident about your security/skills.
>>3054
Moderation will be key, expect having to check it several times throughout the day until you have a community, and you can convince someone from the community to help you with janny responsibilities. Blocking certain commercial and proxy ASNs helps.

If I could, I would also recommend starting small and building out from there if you have long-term plans. Have one board, with a unique focus, to attract a community and separate yourself from the hundreds of other imageboards out there.

>>3055
Thanks webmin for the advice!

>>3020
>>3022
I was one of the people who would annoy others on the bunker threads for piratechan to get done, i did it and it kinda worked since junkuchan got made at least, i truly believe all of you have potential so i'm gonna keep annoying and shaming you all until we have even more ibs besides lolcow, cc and the other ones, sorry.

>>3075
Make one.

>>2883
Update us if you ever do end up making this site anon, an art ib is the dream

>>3077
As i said before, i don't know how to code and i don't wanna learn, i'm just here to observe.

>>2883
The drama board will attract drama prone people, just saying. I'm tired of art related drama, it's always the same thing over and over again; I'd rather have a full on art appreciation image board than art salt part two electric boogaloo but magnified because every idiot would get their own shit thread.

>>3054
>you getting arrested
And how will they find you?

>>3119
In distress

I wonder if they can actually enforce this. Would be a great lolsuit. I kinda hoped jersh would go head to head with them properly instead of being a big strong lad in the email and meekly telling his bong audience to get tor/VPN. He hasn't been the same since coming to America, he has no problem telling Turkey to fuck off. It's the red dye 40, isn't it?

>>3326
Doesn't this butt heads with Section 230? Interesting to see how this will go on.

>>3329
>>3330
Ofcom's bullshit is unenforceable unless Josh has a bout of insanity and decides to take a quick holiday in bongistan or he somehow has seizable assets in the UK. As to why he decided to block UK visitors as a half-measure, I'm assuming he's trying to leverage what meagre power he has to encourage brits to protest this Online Safety Act nonsense. Fat chance of that working out. 

>>3327
