why is /g/ suddenly dead, like fucking entirely dead, OPs are all just retarded baits that for the past 3 months used to get replies but there are hardly any

Dead Internet Theory, we are the only 2 humans on there unless one of us is also an AI

So I use Wireshark and I'm good to go to check packets and what information is a program sending? Is there any kind of standard or thing I should be looking for?

>>107971788
New captchas killed some bots. I'm also assuming 4chan lost some users with the captcha bullshit because it literally doesn't let you make posts. No one likes to wait 5 minutes, redo captcha, rangeban... and be under these constant humiliation rituals only for your post to be rejected because the thread was archived while you were waiting.

>>107971841
It's not that simple unless you're very lucky.
Wireshark will show you the traffic, but most programs encrypt the data so you'll have no way of reading it. But you'll know that the program send something, which is useful in itself.
To decrypt the traffic you'll need a proxy and a Certification Authority, and the program you're studying needs to cooperate (respect the proxy setting) or you need to force all traffic through the proxy and hope that the program doesn't use certificate pinning, in which case it's game over.
The last option is to debug/disassemble the application and study how it works. This is the most difficult, unless the program is really simple and also doesn't include anti-tampering measures.

>>107971788
few real people are willing to put up with the new captcha, whilst it doesnt change anything for bots and trolls
the new captcha was cracked only 2 hours after its implementation

>>107971925
>>107971854
so all active 4chan posters were just mobile fags?
on PC you eventually get a captcha easier tha anything they've ever done before

>>107971949
I doubt it because I'm a phonefag right now. Using 4chan on the pc sucks, and the UI sucks balls, and I don't care what they say because many users are just contrarians.

The problem with 4chan is the retarded bans, rabgebans and that the western world decided to give internet access to millions of browns, and we have also more bots now. That's why posting quality has decreased.

In the retarded effort of gatekeeping so hard they have closed the door to genuine users while the spammers and trolls do not care because they are vermin that post online 24/7. Spammers can and will evade bans.

>>107971949
no, fewer people are willing to put up with the high risk - no reward nature of the current captcha
its not fun to post if your posts are rejected 9/10 times
effectively the captcha acts as a filter only for genuine posters, the spammers and bots have autosolvers

>>107971977
Ok but 99% of phone posters reset the cookie so they always get the annoying captcha.
On PC you usually end up having the cookie for weeks so you end up with the one where you merely use the periphereal vision to complete it while checking on your cat chewing something, 2 slides oftne or pick the different shape among 3.

Like seriously the tier of captcha you get once your cookie is old is easier than any implementation of captcha they ever had before.
There's no reason to use any automation, you would be an excuse of a human being if you didn't complete it instantly.

But you also get pic related, 60-70% of the times.

>>107971986
you shouldnt leave on persistent cookies and site data unless the machine is encrypted and locked with biometrics, that are NOT courtesy of the tpm

>>107972004
I live alone and no one ever visits me.
A cookie that allows you to post more often is not a thing of value.
Everything of value is individually encrypted anyway.

>>107972008
posting on this website alone is reason enough for any regime to raid you as they please
the only question is how long you can avoid becoming a target

>>107972040
Sounds like paranoid schizophrenia is a hell of a disease.

>>107971986
>Damn it, I'm banned, I can't post!
>Damn the captcha, blasted again
>Damn you hiromoot I can't post, you won again!
The reality is that these people make bots or ip reset or have multiple proxy pages where they can post and troll again because this is a game to them.

While a normal user isn't gonna accept this continuing waste of time. A guy with a job and shit to do tries to post, waits 5 minutes, the captcha shits itself, the thread is archived because no one can post and reaches the page limit. This user says fuck it and goes to another page or does anything else. The page punishes occasional posters and rewards spammers.

Congratulations, you have dissuaded genuine posters from using the site while the 24/7 online autist programmer trolls keep doing what they do. And spamming and ill intentioned propaganda groups have no problem using your tax money to mass-but 4chan passes and spam. Great job

>>107972072
But no thread is archived that's the issue.
Same threads sit on the catalog for days and they barely move and no one gets replies.

>>107972084
The threads sit because no one can fucking post. You keep banning and post limiting your own userbase, you end with no users, except the mentally ill ones.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask but I feel like it's an easy fix and I'm too fucking stupid.

I have this little problem where whenever I want to save a picture from twitter/X, it always put me in my Rouge The Bat Folder, instead of putting me back on whatever last folder I saved a pic before.

It only happen on Twitter/X, nowhere else.

All others site just go back to whatever was my previous saves.

I have no idea how to fix this, or how it happened in the first place, but it's a bit frustrating and annoying.

>>107972117
To be fair I hardly got banned over the years.
Only times it was because they've mistaken me for a spammer, as in I was him avoiding bans or for writing a racial slur outside of /b/.
Moderation is entirely absent otherwise.

>>107972127
I've been banned in the past for off topic threads despite them being in topic because the mod was a fag. Then you have hundreds of spam threads and retarded bait that goes unpunished. Or simply rangebanned because someone within my internet company decided to be retarded.

It's not like evading bans is impossible, I just don't want to waste time with this bullshit.

yesterday i got warned for "false reports" because i reported terrorism as "This post violates United States law"

Is brave actually bad?

I used it for years then came back to this board after a long time and everyone says brave is bad so I swapped to librewolf in pc and ironfox on phone now everything is slower and dark mode doesn't work and some websites don't work at all. Is that just the price to pay for privacy?

I'm probably gonna go back to brave.

Is it really water in AIO water coolers?
I ask because I live in a cold place and keep my PC in a pretty cold part of my room. In theory it shouldn't get too far below 32. But i assume if the water in my AIO freezes solid, then melts, it will fuck everything, so, if it's really water I want to move my PC somewhere warmer.

>>107972697
It's not pure water, though I don't remember what it is exactly. Have you tried a quick search for this? It can't be very secret information.
If it somehow freezes, the danger is not going to be the melting it's going to be the expansion during freezing, which could likely burst the pipes or fuck up the pump and radiator. Where the fuck do you live that your room gets below freezing though wtf anon

>>107972278
Everything is bad.
Brave went really hard on shilling their weird crypto token back in the day, which made a lot of people annoyed. It also advertised a full privacy focus from the get-go, but at the start it was actually kind of mediocre, and they took some time in implementing proper privacy measures in the browser itself; AFAIK it's not actually all that bad nowadays.

The main issue with Brave is that it's still Chromium, thus contributing to the total Chromium hegemony. In practice this means, for example, that while they're maintaining manifest V2 support for now, they refused to promise to maintain it forever; which makes total sense from a business perspective ("forever" is a long time) and is a reasonable and honest answer - better than promising "forever" now and then u-turning in a few years, like what Mozilla did with suddenly removing their "we will never collect your data, that's a promise" statement from their FAQ. But it does clearly indicate that ultimately they're beholden to Google's whim to some degree, and if Google decides to kill some crucial adblocker features, all they have to do is make it really hard for anyone else to keep maintaining them (e.g. rearchitect core components for no reason to make the old code completely incompatible) and Brave will be forced to follow suit if they want to keep their Chromium core up to date with security patches.

It's not like there's any GOOD browser out there though. Firefox is in the complete shitter too. Firefox with tweaks is fine to use (Firefox forks like Librewolf are mostly placebo IMO), Brave is alright out of the box though.

>>107971925
Why? The new captcha is even easier than the last. just choose the shape that is different

>>107973095
fucking retard read my post next time
the captcha is fuck easy, the problem is that it wastes your time by making you do it THRICE and THRICE AGAIN if you make the slightest mistake, get filter, or for whatever other reason

>>107973133
I only have to do it once. Just keep your cookies and stop phoneposting
