I CANT EVEN READ POSTS PROPERLY BECAUSE OF THIS STUPID USA GLOWIE MITM BS YOU MORONS DECIDED WAS A GOOD IDEA TO PUT ON YOUR COMMUNIST WEBSITE
FUCK YOU AND LEARN TO MANAGE YOUR FUCKING WEBSITE BY YOURSELVES INSTEAD OF RELYING ON BOURGEOIS REVERSE PROXIES BEFORE YOU MAKE YET ANOTHER FUCKUP LIKE YOU DID WHEN THE SERVER YOU HAD NO PHYSICAL ACCESS TO FAILED FOR A WEEK

>>35866
>no physical access
oh, are you volunteering to pay or a server?

Without cloudflare there would be zero protection from the site getting destroyed by spam and DDOS, no

>>35869
this anons probably right, going bare ass on the internet isn't really possible post 2012 or so at the absolute latest. Depending on cloud provider (aws etc.) there might be some proprietary CDNs and ddos protections which partially subtitute for cloudflare but thats extra money anyway while CF is free or at least has a free tier

>>35866
The hell are you doing to get that error? The website works just fine on my end even with JS disabled. What kind of configuration are you running on?

Strongly suspect this place is cooked but good on ya for at least trying something.
That's about all there is to it. Too little, too late, as usual.

It is very easy to block all VPNs since most VPNs are registered in big IP registeries as being from VPNs (in fact that's usually how we tell that a user is using a VPN), all that would need to be done is to create a script to check every post's IP at point of posting against one such database and not let it post if it is a VPN. But, there basically is no reason to do it - handfuls of mentally ill anons running around shitting and farting with a VPN don't really meaningfully affect site function, since we have plenty of ways of mass-deleting posts which don't rely on IPs to begin with. Bans are just useful for stopping or slowing down bad content, removing the viability of bad content ultimately supersedes all (especially since /leftypol/ loves to take the bait).

Imho chans as a format are dying, but once 4chan goes (and it shall go) then all other chans will have a bit of a bounceback from nostalgia. If /leftypol/ can survive that long, I think we'll have a lasting niche as a small but interesting little chan community. We just need to keep up a continuity of community and the institutions of moderation until that point, however possible.

>>35750
Fair enough, while I find it unlikely, it's something. And something is better than nothing.
>and it shall go
It's a household name and they rarely disappear.

I am correct

>>35567
the general theme of the message is trash but i agree with oen thing, there are too many boards and most of them are completely useless. we should just make one big "hobby" board where we talk about media and activities etc. i cant be fucking bothered to check every board to see if anyone has posted anything on there just to realise it's just as dead as the day before

would having an AMA with a well known eceleb on here help grow the site?

>>35640
Who? What's his face that looks like a Command and Conquer Red Alert cosplayer posts here occasionally.

>>35641
Unruhe. Yeah that could habben but only if he announces it on his channel etc.

I'll make this brief. /leftypol/ was offline from around September 9, 2024 (Monday) until September 12, 2024 (Thursday). This was due to a hard disk failure on the server. When the split happened a few years ago, one of the previous mods/admins rented a bare metal server from a company (as opposed to a VPS/virtual machine instance) for us to host /leftypol/ on. As a result the hardware was not abstracted away. We were unable to boot the machine. Furthermore this individual, having paid for the server in advance, has since gone missing and has been so for at least 34 weeks. We were unable to log into the cloud account due to it sending his email address confirmation message which we were obviously unable to access. As a result, we could not ask the hosting company for support. Also as a result, the only thing we had access to was the cloudflare and a dated sql dump+copy of the source code. As far as I know, the media files (including pdfs), wiki, minecraft server, leftypol tv, etc. are all gone and even if the aforementioned individual returns, its possible that it still won't be able to be recovered due to the fact that they were on a hard disk that failed.

In order to rebuild /leftypol/ we had to secure new hosting, spin up and configure a server with software, firewall, etc. transfer and fix+configure the vichan/lain/leftypol source code, and load the SQL database dump, as well as configure cloudflare. This process was painstaking and slow. I suppose this goes to show the precarious nature of /leftypol/ in that both the domain name (paid for 10 years in advance and donated to the current mod team) and hosting have/are being paid by one individual as a passion project.

We are working diligently to secure backups so this will not happen again in the future.

Thank you for your patience - tech jannies

I don't remenber reporting anything, but there should be a report on a post with this image at like 7:38-ish Mountain Time. Should match unless I posted it on mobile data idk.

>>35632
Alright, try posting again

>>35633
Went from the "seen" error to a ban appeal form, sent! :3

>>35632
Unbanned, I forgot to take down the filter that autobans all new IPs when we were being raided by a botnet.
You should be able to post now

>try to use a general

where do I report this bug?

>>35477
Just use the report function and prey one day we get moderation more interesting in having a forum than a shitpost dumping ground for retards who's twitter accounts are on timeout.

>>35478
Actually, I'm here cuz I've been permanently banned from Reddit and r/politicalcompassmemes mods can't take a "this uygha so retarded", get your facts straight

>garbage and low quality bait
Welcome to leftypol

>>35477
its a feature. thats why generals cycle so when rebuttals go off the page people can just repost their debunked bait.

I imagine this has to do with changes to the website, as documented in the post here: http://ojzfy6mtnjkg4pbkf6fjnty22naczpek253skjm4crwftbohwgevbjyd.onion/mod.php?/leftypol/res/1942862.html#q1942862

Not well-versed on Onion-Magic, but I have reason to believe this is a result of a change of serving hosting, as detailed here: http://http://2gzyxa5ihm7nsggfxnu52rck2vv4rvmdlkiu3zzui5du4xyclen53wid.onion/onion-services/overview/

>>35556
I think it's rather that they either didn't back up the .onion's private key, or didn't set up the hidden service correctly. oh well

why tf isn't LGBT its own board but instead an obscure thread in this board's /b/ equivalent (because apparently queer folk existing isn't political enough to be on the main board despite the fact there are several country exclusive main boards there)? It's how the right-wing infested board gives us better representation a space to be among our own but the supposedly leftist one doesn't

Because you're a demented retard wrecker… or a troll.

>U-r all le tankie, patsoc russkie homophobes!
This isn't reddit you monkey-fucking trollop, screaming buzzwords because you're assblasted that people aren't eating up your ideological nonsense isn't the same as homophobia.
Also
>russophile
Okay and? Even if this is the case, what is your point? Every time someone uses "russophile" they'll eventually expose their true feelings about "le subhuman slavs" or whatever, exposing the true nature of liberals, as unscratched fascists… like (You) for example.
>M-moids
Thanks for exposing yourself to be a faggot from 4chan.

>>32786
>the fact there are several country exclusive main boards there)?
huh? there aren't

>>32786
>apparently queer folk existing isn't political
This is a true statement. The existence of queer people gets politicized, and they face unique forms of class struggle that require their own praxis on top of still experiencing more general forms of class struggle, but it isn't inherently political to exist as a queer person other than it being an inherent stance against those trying to kill ya.

Seems like the issue remains that the jannies don't really have a mechanism of permanently nuking the reactionaries that spam every time you mention queer people on /leftypol/, so /siberia/ has effectively become the main board for serious political discussion with /leftypol/ being containment thread board.

why did the mods change the word filter of c h u d from chinlet to faggot

so, hold the f up. we shouldn't post because you are going to restore the more recent backups?

>>34448
better start posting the stinkiest of shitposts before the boards get restored

>>34448
no, afaik the backups was on the server where the hard drive shitted itself i.e. there will never be a backup recovery.

>>34450
The server was in a raid array so theoretically the old site from 3 days ago still exists, but we can't access it just now, we will try to.

>>34450
>>34448
> the server where the hard drive shitted itself
This is incorrect. The backups are safe in another storage that is configured to be accessed only from the old server. Why? That beats me, it was a decision made years before I joined staff
