The onion keeps going down randomly and it's getting annoying.

>>1993
Never mind it's not related to the site, all hidden services have been going down because of an attack on tor.

>For a few hours today all v3 onion addresses on the Tor network were down. This appears to be a new kind of attack which affects the entire network and involves overloading the consensus authority nodes.

>You will currently not be able to access any v3 onion addresses, what is happening is unknown, but it is potentially a huge attack on the entire network. Earlier today I made a post outlining consequences I would be putting into place to deter markets from funding DDoS attacks against each other, as the potential to scale and completely kill every node on the network is a very real potential outcome. Now everything is down and I have no idea if this has sped up the process of this occurring or if it is even an attack at all, all I know is, this is big.

>Reddit post by u/hugbunt3r This attack began after Dread forum owner, HugBunter made a post stating the consequences for market owners who continue to attack rival markets.

I was under the impression Tor was not centralized in such a way?

>>1998
>The Tor network is not fully decentralized. When you first connect to the Tor network there is hard coded IPs that your Tor process uses to bootstrap your connection into the Tor network. These IPs allow your Tor process to load up the network’s consensus. This consensus tells the Tor process things like what relays are within the network, which are good relays, bad relays, which are guards, exit nodes, how much traffic a relay can handle, that kind of idea. Your Tor process gets all that information and validates it by signatures of these hard coded IPs. These hard coded IPs are called authority nodes. There is currently 10 of them on the Tor network. And they are why the Tor network cleared out V3 onions for a period of time.

How long does a certificate even last for? It doesn't seem like it was that long ago it went out before.

>>1693
The certificate was valid from 10/9/2020 to 1/7/2021. I think I remember that PLW was down on 10/9/2020 and 10/10/2020, but I dunno.

Thankfully, the down time was very short this time.

>>1694
So it's on a three month purchase? Makes me wonder if that's a typical duration or not.

>>1691
That's the BOs decision, he can open the board anytime.

>>1582 (OP) 
I know this is low level thread, but I don't have anything else to say, right now.

>>1582 (OP) 
Why didn't anyone answer me? Why....?

>>1635
Yeah, but that isn't the answer to my question.

>>1636
apply for it then faggot
though if you're gonna, make it an /out/ instead because the larger the topic it covers, the more users you'll get

The stupid fuck smug tard puts them up the webring. Fucking scums. We need to somehow extract vg out of that shit hole and let it rot on its own. Fucking retard dick sucking niggers.

<DolphinKun> Uh, you there? You need to do something about 8blacked being in the webring
<DolphinKun> Your site and zzz let them in
Stay mad pedophile

What is the meaning of this? Did the admin here actually add them?

As far as I've heard they've basically forced themself here.

Animated thumbnails are what we need, other imageboards have them.

>>1461
I second this.

>>1461
I don't get it, I could've sworn one of the jschan updates said it added animated thumbnails yet they aren't there, am  Imissing something?

There is a configuration option in the main.js file. I think Sturgeon didn't have the lines on the main.js file. I hope he enables animated gif thumbnails the next time he updates JSchan.

Why is this archaic format even still in existence?

Holy fuck actually kill yourselves.

If you asked Tom to implement this he actually might too since he's spends his time developing (((discord))) bots like the retarded anglo he is instead of filling feature requests for better moderation tools. Sturgeon is right to disable animated gifs. (((DISCORD))) NIGGERS FUCK OFF

Stats are updated at the end of the hour

>>1435
Neat, never pay attention to that.

>>1423 (OP) 
I'm not seeing any issues on any of my providers' dashboards, and the outage seems to align with the timing of the google outage earlier today. To me this implies the outage was a lower level infrastructure problem that disconnected some part of the site's setup. This cis corroborated by all the logs just jumping from the start of the downtime to the end with no errors

tl;dr some lower level infra probably went down and all I can see on my end is traffic bottoming out for the outage period.

>>1424
ITS RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE HOME PAGE YOU FUCKS GO BOOKMARK IT PLEASE

I'm still working on that writeup of the setup/security measures. I hate writing so forgive me for taking so damn long.

Their certificate is expired.

>>709
Not sure why that happens. 
webring.json should be accessible.

They must truly have a special place in Dolphin's heart.

Cool, the proxies only accept ipv6 anyways. I'd be surprised if anyone managed to ddos this place.

You can try the fediverse. It's decentralized FOSS social media and supports RSS. The major downside is having to find an instance that doesn't fediblock "the nazis" or some arbitrary topic.
pl.smuglo.li runs a pleroma instance for example, but you can choose a few others like friendi.ca.

oh come on anon, we all know people who get cancelled on fedi always end up with more of a reach than when they started. just look at alex gleason.
