I have a few questions, to ask before I start actively posting:

1. Can I sagebomb threads?
2. Will you stop posting as 'admin'?
3. Can you restore all the threads made on world4ch via the ``prog.db'' to your board?
4. How's the moderation like?

Name: Admin 2013-09-04 7:10

1. No, you cannot sagebomb threads. If the thread is a problem I will close it.
2. I post as admin when I need to reply to admin related issues. So that people don't impersonate me in replies. Sometimes I forget it's on in the cookie and end up posting as admin inadvertently.
3. I don't think that the BBS will take it. Since it literally just parses files with regex. It would likely take an hour just to process even on this cluster. I have plans to do so when the Scheme BBS is set up.
4. You tell me.

It takes a special kind of person to not become a raging faggot when they are the master moderator of a community that they are also a part of. I think admin-sama can do it, but time will tell. Time will tell.

how about when you close a thread, it just looks like it's being sage bombed?

Not only the bandwidth considerations, I am fairly sure that the Perl script will completely shit itself if people start sage bombing. Because it writes to files and locks them, and creates temporary files for every post, etc.

When I move this to a Xeon dedicated server with unmetered bandwidth and have it use an actual database you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Doesn't seem like a very good idea. Then people will accuse me of closing random threads if one does get sagebombed.

After everything is migrated, we should test spamming the old software and see what happens. It would be a fun contest to see who could break it the worst.

Sure, that sounds fun. I'll take off the post limit completely and we can see. I'll make a prediction that files will just start getting overwritten like crazy and corrupted, or maybe the Perl FCGI process will just crash.

Lel, if only shiichan was like this. We could have used timing attacks to delete the /g/ro threads instead of sage bombing them.

What if someone exploits it right now...

They cannot right now. Don't worry, I'm not retarded. Plus, I'm SSH'd into the VPS literally 100% of the time, monitoring things, it doesn't take me much to add a new security group.

Whoa, wait a minute. You mean I can literally block posting pretty much completely just with a mere sagebomb?

I wasn't saying I was going too, silly. I was only commenting on the poor quality of the software.

In theory. In reality, no, because I have automated firewall and security group rules on the VPS which prevent you from posting in quick succession. You'll end up getting automatically blacklisted on a routing level and won't even be able to view the site anymore.

Also, there's a global post limit of one post per second to prevent race conditions, anyway.

We have a competent mod now? This makes me wants to cry (in a good way) as this is a rare occurrence and I feel very lucky to witness the development of this renewed /prog/.

That's exactly what I mean. An attacker could block posting for everyone by flooding with a few post attempts every 666ms. With maybe 20 proxies (fairly simple), it would be possible to shut it down while you're sleeping, fapping, high, or otherwise not here.

Tablecat implemented that, not me. Either way, don't worry about it. There's measures in place to prevent the board becoming unusable. I'll be rolling out more as time goes on, as well.

I put in the order for the unmetered (or, well, 300TB per month) dedicated server so when that goes through I'll take off most of the limits.

Wouldn't work
because I have automated firewall and security group rules on the VPS which prevent you from posting in quick succession.

In your theoretical model, you can only sagebomb for how many proxies you use, if you can deploy on the fly that is.

The only other thing you would be doing, at everyone's expense, is DDoS; ending your sagebomb.

Why?

If you are the admin, be sure to actually use a VPS for a proxy/firewall. Use the server for everything else fun. I do the X server formation all the time (firewall proxys front, balance load and traffic switches, actual servers/DBs)

Not now, so far it is interesting and engaging. But in the future, in case it derails longer than I have already.

The server has a 1Gbps dedicated line so I plan to set up a file host and repo hosting just to get my money's worth. Don't worry about the firewall/proxy stuff, if it becomes a problem I'll just cloudflare everything. 300TB is already way overkill, someone would have to push 1Gbps for a month constantly to hit that.

>>23
I'm not worried about threads derailing. I'll really only delete spam.

Ah, ok. I would love for you to implement some distributed filesystems or p2p ones, and use the CDNs/mirrors to propagate it. Been meaning to created an automated system with CFEngine to automate all known systems, to make it redundant enough (in the practical sense). Meh, more manga time.

The best thing would be if you use FreeBSD, make jailed partitions, and users so we can have several playgrounds. A better system than cjb.net. God I would kill for that. VPN and SSH tunels for everyone! Long live Ano-p2p!

'scuse me, but is this BBS software eventually going to be open sourced so St. IGNUcius would be proud of you?

Name: Anonymous 2013-09-05 7:04

It's already open source: http://progrider.org/files/tablecat-bbs-20111214.tar.gz

Thanks for fucking with my /prog/ reader, >>1-san.
Don't change these.
