Welcome to /mlpol/ weary travellers. In this thread I will collect what I can find about the 4chan hack and try to provide a base camp for those lost 4nons that have managed to find their way here. Feel free to add anything you know or swap stories as well. The following is roughly gathered to ensure it is saved.

Why does the 1st of May change your decision on this?
If you think the site was that shitty (which admittedly, yes, it was), then find a new place now. What are you waiting for?
If you would still want to go back to the site if e.g. it comes back up in a week, despite it being shitty and hostile - why would that change on the 1st of May?

Of all the things to base your decision on, "how long it takes them to patch their software" is the one most unrelated to the actual quality of the site and their attitude towards their userbase. If you didn't leave forever during any of the bullshit the jannies ever pulled (partly understandable because all altchans were dead), AND you haven't already decided to leave forever now that the main site is down and all the altchans are actually getting activity for once, why would you suddenly decide otherwise in a couple of weeks?

You don't know that. Do you have the full checklist of what needs to be fixed to allow the site to function again?

Besides, again, for all the reasons to want to leave, their developer performance in fixing the site seems like the most irrelevant metric.

Sure seems like stalling tactics to me. If you add up the rest of the situation as it sits, my feeling is they're expecting a very prolonged downtime and stringing the users along is about the only form of damage control they can muster.

It's also nice of them to remember the tumblr blog exists, because we have this gem down there. I find it hard to believe that 4chan passes and banner ads that probably don't convert very well were making enough to pay off anything near this order of magnitude.

Anon, everything can be vulnerable if it's old and misconfigured. If you make a mistake, anything can be hacked.
Right now the mistake was in PDFs, but that is trivially patched by just updating all the software. There is basically no reason to believe another hack would be any more likely to happen in the same place than anywhere else.

>we know how 4chan has always been
Not updating software for 10+ years, yeah, which it sounds like they're working hard to change.
And if they then immediately get complacent and stop caring again and things fuck up, again, there is no reason to believe the next hole would come from the exact same place.

Cloud makes it easier to manage things, to scale up/down, and to serve websites in different parts of the world. But it's not necessarily cheaper, especially long-term. If you're running a website for 10 years with traffic being relatively steady, you aren't doing any kind of dynamic updates and server failover or anything, and you are located in one part of the world and fuck everyone's latency - then there's no reason not to self-host it.

4chan was running on cloudflare. A few years ago it also introduced pretty aggresive caching, where new post updates would only load every ~10-30 seconds or so - presumably to make it even more cacheable by cuckflare.
And most of the content was text, with images largely below 4MB.

I don't understand why you're having such a problem here. If you need more bandwidth, then you buy more bandwidth. If you need more servers, then you buy more servers. In both cases, it's usually cheaper in the long run to buy it directly rather than paying some cloud provider with their enormous markups

Most likely. In fact that's probably why they even introduced the horrible cuckflare caching in the first place, because it's easier than fixing their servers to actually handle the live load in its entirety.

>User uploads are done directly to their servers? But how? I think that upload bandwidth also has to be considerably high.
Looking at 4stats.io, you get about ~340,000 posts per day, which is just about 4 posts per second. That is really not that much in the grand scheme of things. Again files are limited to 4MB (except on a couple of boards which are the overwhelming minority of traffic), and on the fast boards like /pol/ and /v/ images were a minority of posts. It really isn't that much bandwidth.

The real costs would be ingress costs from the bandwidth being basically sustained 24/7, and the real achievement is 4chan's ability to handle spikes in traffic, meaning it was actually rather over-specced by some margin most likely.

Yeah, probably. The hardware wouldn't be cheap, but I don't think you'd need so much of it that you'd run out of space, power, or cooling in your basement. Four posts and an image every second is nothing, and even 100x that seems doable, especially if you optimize the code a bit.

so few were around during the evony and anontalk days anymore, and because of that only a handful realize just how fucking bad shit was because of them that captcha was the lesser evil at the time
there was a fucking reason that the mere mention either on certain boards would net you an instaban shortly after the captcha went up

The self demolition theory is when a company purposely sabotage themselves so they can rebrand themselves.
Usually the rebranding come after they get bought out by another company.

It allows you to fire thousands of employees with less trouble, for starters.
It also lets leadership transfer stuff to shell companies, while throwing shareholders under the bus.
Rebranding also gives the opportunity to distance themselves from scandals that may have irreparably damaged consumer perception of the brand.

I actually think he would. He clearly doesn't care about the site, since he hasn't adequately maintained it in over a decade. He would sell it if anyone gave him a good deal, but 4chan probably isn't worth all that much to prospective buyers.

But that does not prevent the site itself showing up in the search results. If you use robots.txt to exclude the google crawler, then you get "No information is available for this page." if you search for the site but the search result is still there.
This was not the case for 4chan, if you searched for it it would not even show it as a search result. Just like if you search for 8chan/8kun/8ch.

Read that again. Those are servers made in 2010 that moot bought used before he left in 2014. My guess is they were probably off-lease Nehalem-EP or Westmere-EP units in 2013, the Xeon versions of first gen i7s. Those were excellent buys at the time. It's also entirely possible that the electricity wasn't metered wherever these were colocated, making it not important to upgrade if the hardware can handle the load.

>>387521
The majority of the site itself was designed 20 years ago, the codebase is tiny by modern standards, it takes very little hardware to send text and thumbnails to a CDN, and the post submission rate really wasn't all that high in the scheme of things. I'd say just about any decent two socket machine with quad core CPUs from that era with a good amount of RAM could do it. No reason you couldn't drop in a 10 Gbit/s Ethernet card for bandwidth as well. We're also talking a plural amount of these servers in the email, so it isn't unreasonable to assume that they had two or three of these balancing the load. Seems like overkill to me.

>>387524
Yep. If I really wanted to, I could call my ISP and tell them to run a multi-gigabit business-grade connection to my house, then buy a server with 64 cores and 2 TB of RAM, connect it to Cloudflare or similar for CDN, and I wouldn't even be running at the limit of a single 120V outlet. Running big projects yourself is really easy these days, if expensive.

Now days? Since the energy crisis? No fucking chance. The best you get is an allocated power budget (eg 250W average, 500W peak), and you are billed if you were continuously using 100% of that power budget.
>multi-gigabit business-grade connection to my house
You don't even need that. I pay ~20 euro for unlimited 1/1g fiber connection currently, and I have 1/1g since 2014 or something like that. Besides a few outages in the past 15 years (I have this ISP since 2010 or 2009) the connection is extremely stable. Maybe there was like a total 24 hours of outage in the past 15 years. Oh yea, there was one instance when at a sunday I called them at 6pm and the technician was here by 7pm to swap their failed gpon. Many business grade ISPs don't offer support this fast on a sunday night.

First paragraph downplay. Oh yeah, it was just a few hours.
<Ultimately this problem was caused by having insufficient skilled man-hours available to update our code and infrastructure, and being starved of money for years by advertisers, payment providers, and service providers who had succumbed to external pressure campaigns.
We can't update our site because because advertisers hate us, and users don't buy passes and do it for free enough :(
>has 200 mods
This place is such a bullshit factory.

<We had begun a process of speccing new servers in late 2023
Almost two years ago. The entire new product lifecycle of a server.
<Putting together the money for new equipment took nearly a decade.
>five figure hosting bill
>can't afford $10k in servers that would cut the bill

<In April of 2024 we had agreed on specs and began looking for possible suppliers
>one year ago
<and few companies were willing to sell us servers
Fucking what? You can buy them from eBay all day long. Or call your Dell or HP rep. Or go to fucking Newegg and buy a motherboard.
Nigger, I can buy a brand new server right now, and I'm nearly broke. I say this as someone who has actually hosted an imageboard in recent years.
<We managed to finalize a purchase in June, and had the new servers racked and online in July. Over the next few months we slowly moved functionality onto the new servers, but we had still been relying on the old servers for key functions. ... The free time that 4chan’s development team had available to dedicate to 4chan was insufficient to update our software and infrastructure fast enough, and our luck ran out.
Bro, luck had less than no part in this. Forget the gay-ass hardware. You didn't update the OS for 11 years.

<We are bringing on additional volunteer developers to help keep up with the workload, and our team of volunteer janitors & moderators remains united despite the grievous violations some have suffered to their personal privacy.
Calling bullshit.
<4chan is back. No other website can replace it, or this community. No matter how hard it is, we are not giving up.
So #brave. Stunning.

well you can't argue that he who controls 4chan, controls all. I wouldn't be surprised if there were massive glownigger wars in the shadows to own that place

We been on the radar, but it's not they can do anything after the federal government is being gutted. They are losing power and they know it. The worse thing that could ever happen is 4chan going down, because it give 4channers a taste of what's like being on other alt-chans. The glowniggers don't got the time or budget to keep track of all the alt-chans and a horsefucking website when something damaging get leaked and they need to do damage control. It happen on 4chan before where even typing a certain person name got you auto-ban.

/pol/ has been hanging-out with /x/ far too much, but the eval() thing is dangerous if truth, someone with bad intentions could be using it to do /something/, but what this something is would be hard to tell without further proof.
Instead of waving this single theory around like the truth, I think it would be better to collect as many information as possible on this issue to get a better view of the situation as a whole.

I know you guys like to post screenshots of a single thing and wave it around as 'something important', but please remember that this kind of post is a theory, and that it is very important not to have tunnel-vision when it comes to theories.

Always have been. If you ever see 'the sky is on fire' atop of the website, it's time to abandon mlpol.net forever and never look back.

I almost forgot about that protocol. Yes, we have been, but we're less of a joke now

Dead internet theory brought to life? There's been chatbots that can emulate 4chan style posting for years.

But autobanning text strings is probably what he's talking about, autobans were already a thing but rarely used. Since 4cuck2.0 came back online it's been more heavily being used. Going go have to search to see if every post with "kike" in it is now shadowbanned, which will not post on the board or the archive.

Ourchan uses AI jannies too. They are going to become more common.

I don't know how to break it to you but 8chan/a/ was using a mod bot a decade ago. smugloli still uses it. It's not hard to write a fully or partially automated mod script.

Not sure. I've heard their owner was involved in crypto scams and I KNOW that they had 2 jannies that advocated for racemixing. One of which used the term "woke right" unironically. Even if they were kicked why they would have been allowed to be jannies in the first place is strange.

Multiple factors lead me to think current 8kun glows.

Also in late February, a 4chan /pol/chug/ namefag died in a police encounter after posting pictures from his phone of himself pointing a knife at a national guard station. He admittedly did lunge at the police officer with a knife, and the shooting was ruled justified by an Oregon jury. But if you know anyone that likes to schizo spam on 4chan, if you can get them off the website you may well save their life.

Halfway into the week of darkness I took a snapshot of the traffic of the 5 major altpol's (donkey showpol, jimpol, moepol, ourpol, mlpol): 21700 posts per hour.

Before the hack 4pol averaged 100000 posts per hour. But after the hack only 36000. The number 21700 correlates pretty well with 36000, doesn't it? This suggests that perhaps as much as 60% of the posts on 4pol were inorganic.

While I'm writing this, the 4pol catalog looks very clean. If traffic picks up next week and the quality of the catalog goes down, I think it's safe to conclude that we have a strong indication of the actual scale of the inorganic posters on 4pol.

The day that it went up there were already tons of 1pbtid threads, threads about meaningless bullshit, BBC threads, bait threads, etc. The bots got turned back on as soon as they got word that the field was open for play again.

There is a shit ton of shilling being forced on 8moe right now to discourage users sticking around, looks like split resources while they set up ai jannies on 4cuck to stem free speech.
