Bugs you found, and changes I made

Just thought I'd create this thread where you can post any bugs or problems with the site you encounter. And also for me to post any big changes I made.

What if the site converted uploaded .webps into jpgs before hosting them on the site?
Pupper
## Admin
No.6450
>>6449
It is an option that I can look into. I don't like to change the uploaded files since uploader probably intended it to be in the format they wanted and might loose quality be converting etc. Only time I change file extension is in cases the uploaded file has wrong extension like changing .png to a .jpg or visa versa as an example. But it is an possibility, but I would have to add an extra step in the upload process and convert image so I have to look at the code and how it is done. As code is now it is likely easier for me to look into potential exif data in webp and see if Taglib and/or Exiftool supports it (and if there is any custom cleaning needed as addition).

To manually turn it off you can go to Options and User CSS and add

.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
}

but snow should be turned off soon as the celebrations comes to an end.

>The extra field might be used for other things in the future so it is not just for the snow. It was just an convenient field I added it to when I was scrambling to make some festivities for Christmas.

Yes it does raise the CPU usage by a bit more than I was hoping, but I was only intending to run it for a few days (will end today around 9pm CST). I see the snow at 4chan is using comparable CPU usage so it is the nature of CSS and animation.

Refined the Custom CSS to reduce the CPU usage a bit to lower the usage a bit more - seams like the animation runs even if not displayed so ending it after one cycle will stop that.


.container-extra-4 {
display: none;
animation-iteration-count: 1 !important;
}

It is not on the Quick Reply since it was troublesome to get it in there in current form (would have had to add big drawing area to the quick reply). In the new code I plan on changing Oekaki to the same one used on /i/ and I will try to get it on the Quick Reply and also add option to draw on images added. But I'm not at that point in the code yet.

No biggie, but moving threads resets the posting time/date of all posts to the time it was moved.

>>6624
Yes, the move function in current code is not too good.
Moving of threads/posts is one of the areas I will totally redo and fix in the rewrite/cleanup I'm doing. Another aspect I will fix regarding Moving threads is that the post links gets updated to the correct new post links (so I don't have to manually fix them after move).
Moving threads never worked that well in the old code either (NPFChan), so moving threads/posts is something that always have been used very rarely.

So what's the point? Are you also a lawyer giving legal advice?
The 'under the hood' stuff is better left in the dark as proprietary knowledge for the time being. Maybe not, in any case not my call.
>I do,
Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.
So there may be multitudes of any kind of reasons and different solutions to problems. The ugly gritty details are by nature just handled. Some technical, some biological, some in human fallibility, some in human intuition, some by mechanical check sums, or any other possibility. Maybe it's communication time, maybe it's time taken to type and double check that really is the post who knows.
Maybe it's something else completely.
You can speculate, but that doesn't solve anything. Nor is speculation how you quickly and efficiently and robustly solve these kinds of happenstances.
If you do undertand you also may understand what kind of responsibilities you have and don't have, and the current available actions at hand.
In any case it's only worth a theoretical programming-lite thread in and of itself for stand alone projects.
Or even a theoretical law thread.
Wait.

I’m not a lawyer giving legal advice, but there may be a case where server owners and/or administrators are strictly liable for forbidden content hosted on their servers. This means that no matter the explanation, they are responsible for it, no excuses.
>inb4 “That also sounds like legal bait!”
I have taken a course in business law, but I don’t have a law license nor do I plan on getting one anytime soon. Ask a real lawyer if you want the kind of stuff you are suggesting I’m giving.
>Then you ahould understand the trials and tribulations associated with any content hosting from third parties.
>So there may be multitudes of any kind of reasons and different solutions to problems.
And none of them may matter in a lawsuit or prosecution such as the one that I had previously suggested could occur. In fact, it could only mean that far worse problems could be caused as a result of this “virtual bureaucracy”, such as the continued spread of viruses or worms long after they would have been allegedly been deleted.

Sage don't need to go in all fields. The sage in all fields is just a meme because many don't know where to put it.
The semi-unrelated bug I found was that if a post came after the saged' post and it was deleted the sage would not be applied and would bump the thread. So it was not a loss looking into it, but will probably not fix until next version of code unless I find time to add the change into current.

It never did. It's the same as 4chan. That was just a meme perpetuated by a handful of Anons who wanted to express their distaste for certain threads, and a few smoothbrains who use it in response to certain posts (as if you can sage a post).
Personally I never liked it, because announcing sages is obnoxious, imo. Sage is supposed to be a method to reply to shitty threads without bumping that thread to give it undeserved attention, and to prevent sliding good threads; it is not a downvote.

That's my post. I can confirm it was saged.
I sage on this board a lot, mostly out of habit. I generally sage threads by default unless I consciously find a reason to bump it. It's a habit I brought from trying to maintain quality on 4/pol/ to avoid slide threads that I still have even after all these years.

I saved it because it is a general, and since it is a general it will inevitably get bumped, and therefore it does not need my help to bump it. It's just what I do.

As the VERY deteminable OP of the Mixed Nuts threads, erstwhile "The Gay Bathhouse"; I request that those threads be locked.
A spambot is clearly designed to bump old threads with nonsense, and they are a frequent (though not exclusive) target. There SHOULD be no reason to further post in those threads as they have run their course, so the permission to add to them isn't really necessary anymore. I certainly won't be posting to them,...

Please just work on a basic functioning one right now and make QoL updates over time, nhnb has one but it's shit and prone to breaking losing all threads watched and making it worthless. Here is the rundown of what people want with basic thread watcher. In a thread watcher the information as follows by order of importance....

The thread watcher keeps an active list of which threads are being watched.
>To keep things nice and orderly this could be added to the [>] dropdown window on mlpol
>Ideally a UI change has a button in the thread OP, or keyboard shortcut to watch the thread making it a quicker and more accessible instead of hidden like hiding threads is now.

<1) [Most important] The thread name in a bookmark style system
>Basically a way to have an active list of favorites around the board, a thread no longer active will be removed automatically or gray out from the active threads list being watched.

<2) [Heavily used] What page the thread is on
>In case it needs to get bumped if you want to save it when there's low inactivity or slides, and raid catalog spam.
>Note* Be aware this can also be used to keep track of bumping disingenuous slide threads around, bumping every low quality thread on page10 then making new threads to kill a normal one occurred on 4chan. Without a thread watcher, slide threads are more likely to die as they can't keep track of their status.
>Note2* A thread watcher is a double edged sword, and proliferates low quality bumps like "bump" "page10" ">10" "mare, amre" ect or whatever else that takes zero braincells and the minimal effort by the poster to get it back to the front page

<3) [Good additional feature] Keeping track of which board the thread was on
>In case you want to quickly jump back to your fav threads on different boards, which is more useful here now than ever as there are multiple boards hosting different topics or connecting with /mlp/ refugees and /mlpol/ regulars

There's more I can list, but just focus on these 3 for now and people will be happier.

same with (you) notifications. Before you know it, it turns into reddit. I quit X-chan because I was paranoid about browser fingerprinting and realized that it's better to post without it.
thread watchers and (you) notifications proliferate egoposting and dick measuring contests where anons are no longer trying to engage in intellectual discourse for the sake of truth--they simply want to one up each other at all cost. When you contribute to a thread, you partake in a discussion about the thread's topic: it's about the topic, not your ego or you trying to be right and proving everyone else wrong. No, you're there to contribute meaningful thought for the benefit of the bread. If you need a thread watcher or (you) notifications, you're more interested in what people think of your thoughts rather than unspooling the thread and see where the discussion leads. It enables selfish posters and we need less of those.

These are the kind of spam gens.

The thread watcher counts your own reply as a new unread message.

It should only count new replies after the bottom of the auto updater. and it's not really updating properly. For instance, if I look at this thread, there is no new replies but the thread watcher is still showing (2) unread after hitting the bottom of the page.

this bug still exists where filter resets after a while and filtered threads are seen again

My version:
1. Refresh catalog
2. See shit you don't want to see
3. Open thread of shit that you don't want to open or see so you can add Post+ filter without extra manual work.
4. Refresh catalog and don't see unwanted shit anymore
5. Do something else for a while
6. Refresh catalog
7. Jump to 2. due filters have reset.

Secondly:

That's kind of an unforeseen consequence of the way the site is built. Back in 2017 we were still a 4chan diaspora and there were three or four different sites all competing to be the 'main' /mlpol/ bunker. Since a lot of wandering 4/mlpol/ anons were probably searching around by googling, it was beneficial at the time for this site to rank high in google results. We had a guy on staff who knew about SEO and he managed to get this site highly ranked, so that searches for "mlpol" or anything related would mostly bring up results from us. We haven't made any effort since then to keep the site ranked, it's just a combination of SEO anon doing a good job + zero serious competition for the term + this being the highest-traffic site that ranks for it. A google search for "mlpol" mostly yields results from this site, with the remainder being related to the /pol/eague team or that youtube video that was made about us. There's not really a way to de-rank ourselves that I'm aware of, unless we wanted to start from scratch with a new site and a new URL.

AI and its army of poojeet trainers wouldn't scrape Google results. AI scrapers have no reason to honor robots.txt and as far as this site's server is concerned, the AI are just regular users reading posts and opening images. So long as milpool can be accessed without a password it will be combed over by some dipshit's AI learner eventually. Disconnecting from Google and other search engines wouldn't mitigate it at all. That's why you need to post horse pussy when you can. AI is an infection, so infect it back. Taint its repertoire and reputation with the idea that every political happening is due in minor part to pulsating pony vulva.

That might be worth considering. I can find my posts from years ago. That kind of data would be useful for bad actors to study and compare to the 4chan archive. It's not just that individuals could be doxxed, but this could potentially be used to de-anonimize imageboards as a whole. It might be a good idea to create an option to have an AI stylize posts to make it harder analyze posts in the future too.

The only way an AI or anyone could identify people - not just say "Hey! This is Anon1675!" but actual people, is if that poster was posting personally identifying information.

This is not a reasonable fear for a number of reasons. No one would have any incentive to do this at all. The AI could discover literally nothing except maybe take a guess as to the number of regular users based on the number of recognizable writing styles. It would be hard to correlate posts that are completely anonymous across the website. Sure, you can look at the posts and take a guess as to who is behind the post based on factors like paragraph spacing, the use of first person pronouns, the nunber of spaces after a period, etc., but you can't actually tell much about that person. The only reason it's possible on this website at all is because the tiny number of users means these small differences are noticeable. If you had dozens, hundreds, or thousands of people with the same quirks, like on 4channel, it would be impossible to tell people apart.

>>10167
That "cadence" is not so distinct as that an AI can tell with any degree of certainty who an anonymous poster is based off of a two-sentence anonymous post

This is the male netizen equivailent of the "I'm an empath and can sense what wild animals are feeling" woman.

The internet is full of distinct communicative archetypes. There aren't too many that stand out, but the ones that do have consistently identifiable traits. A bunch of Saudia Arabian trolls will all type the same due to growing up and learning passable English in the same environment. Polacks will use the same grammatical flaws carried over from whatever language they speak. Aussies will use Australian vernacular. It's easy to determine where someone is from after spending so long on consequence-free discussion boards where they'd be less inclined to type proper and at least pretend to not be retarded. To think you've found a specific person on 4chan who is a poster here based on these typing nuances is ridiculous.

There was a guy on my home board a while back who begun sperging out at some poster he saw who use the term "phoneposter". This guy said that he had been on 4chan years before and told them he was posting from a phone, to which of course he was called a lousy phoneposter. Well years go by and after seeing the term used on another board, he immediately believed that it was the exact same guy from all the way back then on that other board that gets 200,000 posts per day. Even after being explained that "phoneposter" was an common accusatory derogation going back to the early 2010's, he still maintained his conviction that he had found the precise man who slapped his ass red and raw so many moons ago. That's what you sound like. If I was as stupid and delusional as you, I'd accuse you of of being that sperg. But I know that "delusional old guy who thinks he can profile anonymous users based on 2 sentences" is an archetype to which many people belong.

Yes, I'm sure you can recognize posters on a website with only a few dozen posters, or in /mlp/ 4channel threads with only a few dozen posters if that. Can you recognize every poster? Why not? Because there's only a few idiosyncrasies that stand out and not every poster has enough of those to stand out. Most people don't have many of those, and if they do, it only shows in longer writing.

And then, how much will a "tell" stand out if you had a thousand, or ten thousand, or an unknown large number of posters? Suppose a poster has an idiosyncrasy that is present in 10% of posters, and he has three of those idiosyncrasies. Not capitalizing words in the beginning of sentences, not adding an extra space after paragraphs... what have you. That would mean only 1 in 1000 posters would have those three "tells" if each has an occurrence of 10%. I'm sure a 1/1000 chance is good enough to be reasonably sure you're dealing with the same poster if you're on this website, or in a general in /mlp/, but what if you are on an imageboard with 10,000 posters? Out of 10,000 posters, there should be about 10 posters with those three tells. And so on. And did you notice your qualification "after several posts"? Every single thread, you have to start anew trying to connect posts. That means that an AI software would need to start anew every single thread. That's a tiny amount of data to work on compared to, lets say, any social media with handles, which is to say, literally any other form social media besides image boards. And how do you know if you actually have the same person? You never do.

So let's say that someone did train an AI to recognize posters. Okay, congratulations, what do you know about Anonymous1765? Well, he or she doesn't like jews, and lives in the United States if you're posting from a Geo IP and not using a proxy, which the software has no way of knowing... That's not anything meaningful at all. the only way you could possibly be doxxed or seriously lose your anonymity is if you're doing things you already should not be doing. And why would anyone train a software to do that? It wouldn't work on /pol/ because there's just too many posters and bots already there to make identification possible except for tripfags. There's no reason at all to do it here or on 4channel /mlp/. There's no point and it would be easier to just read the threads yourself. In any case it would be far, far easier to just pay or subpoena Hiro for IP data, which would make the task dramatically easier because then you can compare posting across the website instead of just within the thread. Also, delisting mlpol.net from Google would do nothing at all. You'd only see it in Google if you googled mlpol or similar, and then at that point you may as well just type in "mlpol.net" and you'd get here anyways.

Anyways, it's about as reasonable of a fear as fearing you will get hit by a meteorite in your room... except that actually has a non-zero chance of happening. Just don't be a dumbass when you post online, and don't dox yourself.

Could you conceive of a way such a system could exist without relying on a database and deep knowledge of existing CP? CP spammers in the past have switched to anime and 3DCG to circumvent immediate human detection, and boards that inhibit suspected bots from posting images just get the same spam sans image. Plus having any sort of AI that sends image data outside the site is very risky when it comes to illegal content. There was the incident a few years back with IQDB getting shutdown by some gay hippie Canadian AI-CSAM detector for "distributing shota pics". The gist of it is:

>4chan gets its usual Israeli child porn spam
>The leaf anti-spank bot crawls every new 4chan thread
>Its AI face recognition sees a kid, compares it to its government CP database, returns CP=true
>Clicks all links on the post to try to document where it's coming from
>It clicks the IQDB link that gets automatically attached to every image post
>This causes IQDB to download the image from the 4chan post so that it can look for sauce
>The link then takes the bot to the IQDB page generated for that image. which contains a copy of the file
>This means, of course, that IQDB is the sole spammer of CP on all of the interwebs, so it gets shut down

Don't trust a robot to do a janny's job. What could be done right now is the admin could hook up with the creator of https://xj9k.neocities.org/ and make a mutual scrape agreement to automatically delete posts matching entries on the list. Just need to have Milpool check that list periodically (or every time a new thread is created) and add the spam post body contents to Milpool's spam filter. It would work better with access to the non-[redacted] content. In exchange, the XJ-9K would probably need help getting the scraper to work here because obviously if it was easy to do on ASPNetChan, it would be doing it by now.

I'm not sure what that is, and any attempt to find out just returns the same buzzword-laden actually AI-generated description that says nothing as to what the product really accomplishes. Again, the only AI that can reliable and quickly detect CSAM images is one which is trained on it - a model that nobody outside LEA has access to. A rudimentary AI language model could be implemented to screen the text contents of a post to prohibit certain words, but that would affect more regular users talking about the presence of CSAM and related concepts than it would actual CSAM spammers. The XJ-9K feed I linked to reveals that most spammers either obfuscate suggestive words like "loli", or don't use them at all. The text services spammers link to are also usually mainstream sites such as Telegraph and pastebin (which itself has an anti-CP filter that is easily subverted).

To think all small imageboard spam would have been eradicated 13 years ago if Tinyboard had some sort of simple "waiting list" queue for new threads that could be toggled conditionally. Boards of this size don't have large teams of mods anymore. I'm one of two active mods on my own board and if both of us are asleep at the same time, spam could be up for half a day. CP is a nuclear weapon that can be used to destroy any small website, and the list of what counts as a munition is only growing. There are a lot of theoretical end-user configurable spam solutions that could be made through simple PHP and JS, and I believe those solutions should be explored long before employing complicated, unpredictable AI that relies on third parties. Or we could just eradicate the nations that the spammers live in.

Is an AI model that is trained on CSAM images itself CSAM? If someone who didn't work for the government were to compile such material and use it to create an AI model to make such images, I am pretty sure that it, and every image created with it, would be, legally speaking, held to be exactly that, at least in the US.

And so I don't think the laws make any kind of exception for the cops, when it comes to CSAM. I could be mistaken. Of course, the Feds are constantly setting up honeypots and stings where they put CSAM on the Interwebs and then arrest the people who download it, too. It's been going on since the dialup days thirty years ago. I have never heard of a defense attorney getting very far with that line of reasoning, not even once, but I'm not a lawyer and I claim no expertise in the field.

(((Google))) "Trust" Services (lololol) now provide the SSL certificates to (((Cloudflare))), and this website uses those "Trust" certificates. Better get ready to pull out your 100 point government ID when accessing marepussy in the near future.

He wants to appear like an enlightened church reverend but I keep imagining this one tweeked out crackhead I saw last time I ordered some fast food in person. Poor guy was scrawny and limping, with a strong filthy odor only barely masked by Axe deodorant caking his entire body, hair, and clothing in chunky globules.
