Well, it ended up that I said something about another banned poster to the effect of 'What that person said is fine because it made me laugh' and then the delicate mod banned me with 'Well banning you made me laugh so it's ok' or something.

I'm just happy that they agreed with me.

I know it's only a one-hour ban, but it seems unfair to fall foul of a banned link filter just because you wanted to tease someone.

I mean, what happens if you want to take the piss out of a libertarian loon for invoking medieval common law (which has been legislated into oblivion anyway)? Or if the Appleby Magna massive want to big themselves up by extending some vowels? Because Brian never learned regex, THEY CANNOT.

I don't think I've been banned, but I don't understand why my Lenny Henry thread, as well as all posts I've made over at least the past 24 hours/subsequent replies to them, have been removed.

Is shitposting no longer allowed on /iq/ or is posting The Guardian links now blacklisted or something?

(A good day to you Sir!)

>>15933
I think you mean denylisted.

>>15934
Wait, can we not post Guardian links now?

>>15913
No, seriously, when? Did I miss something? Has this been abandoned? Is it something I need to fix on my end? What's happening?

>>15918
I fixed it in a test version of the site. Soon.

Is sage only meant to be broken on /*/? Because I tried to visit a thread on its actual board before replying to it, to ensure I could reply and definitely not bump it, but it got bumped anyway.

It's hardly a crisis so I'll sage here too and see if this one also bumps. If so, I guess it's every board where sage is broken.

>>15922
To save anyone else making test posts, my post above is now saged on /shed/ but not saged on /*/. Perhaps /*/ ignores sage completely.

>>15922>>15923
Sage has never worked on /*/sfw/, nor should it.

I have no involvement in the running of this site, so by all means ignore me, but that error message means the website's SSL certificate (green padlock in the URL bar) expired. Looking on an SSL checker website, the site's current SSL is a Let's Encrypt one which expires in three months, suggesting it has just been renewed.

So either it was meant to auto-renew and it didn't, or someone had to manually renew it and they forgot. It's nothing to do with your connection, although you can change the URL from https:// to http:// and then you should be able to come here as normal.

>>15915
This is pretty much the response I got last time I posted such a screenshot. Thanks for taking the time to explain, and offer a way I can check for myself in the future.

I guess it freaked me out to see the certificate renewal happen in real time, especially with the war, hacks and >>/news/37479 going on. best renew that tinfoil under my cap huh.

I don't know if it's ever been auto-renewed. When it was first rolled out, the site breaking every 3 months became a running joke.

Having said that, I recently stumbled upon a site with an early Let's Encrypt certificate installed several years ago which looks like it was never renewed.

>>15914
That was just the renewal script breaking as per usual.

So no, don't panic, it was me - and you might see things move change as I have my once-every-few-years time off work between jobs and fix things around the house/shed.

I've been working over the past month to move the server from its old place in Dublin to a new place in London AWS, on a new server too. Testing got a bit expensive, picture related - will complete that this week.

>>15920
Does this website really cost around £100/month to run? My work could provide you a server to run it for less than that. You're being robbed. I do pretty good customer service for them too. You should look us up. I'm at home now, but I post here from my work as well, and if you see an IP address that starts with 78 from a company beginning with T, you could get some outstanding cloud hosting and we'd never even need to speak to each other. It's all active-active, dual-site, resilience, blah, and we'd charge you based on the resources you'd use but I'm convinced you'd pay less than what you pay now.

Or you can tell me to go fuck myself, and make a note that both IP addresses are me, so that if I get banned from one, you can ban the other one too and really punish me properly.

What is the point of .webp? It's a Google image format, and is therefore inherently untrustworthy, and other formats work just fine for viewing images anyway. It's not like .webm which can play sound and can be paused and assorted other advantages over gifs. The webp format adds nothing, surely.

>>15879
Be that as it may, it's a format that exists and is in common use, and it's not going away any time soon.

>>15880
All the more reason to tell it to fuck off, it's a format for people who don't try.

>>15879

It's much more efficient. WebP images are essentially a single-frame VP8 video, so they take advantage of the massive amounts of research and development that has gone into video compression. WebP files are significantly smaller than JPEG or PNG files of an equivalent quality. Most modern computers, phones and tablets have VP8 hardware decoding support, which reduces power consumption significantly over software decoding. The format is fully open source and unencumbered by patents, unlike JPEG.

I think they all dick around on Discord these days instead.

>>15906
IRC, no.

Discord is here >>/e/23592 but there's obviously only some overlap in terms of participants from then and now.

>>15908
> IRC, no.

Well that's just incredibly sad.

>>15886
>Where us 3 are from

http://britfa.gs/sentry/

>>15888
Yeah, good luck with that. Here's all the places I am, given a quick trawl of some geolocators. Who needs VPN when I'm hidden behind 10 CGNATs ?
Napton on the hill, Pop:1100 maybe?
Great Bolas? Pop:340
Ah, one day maybe I'll have an address to call my own. (Where's my fucking Starlink, Elon?)
Anyway, OP - you may find analytics interesting, but beware the poisoned data.

>>15888
I had forgotten about sentry. It's dangerous because looking down the list of yank posts makes me want to commit the faux pas of asserting that I know one of them.

>>15886
I used to do that a load, but nobody ever cared and nobody ever believed. Three of us.

>>15892
That's nice but if your GP won't prescribe CGNAT it's probably for the best.

>>15865
Doesn't that make it one of the most recent threads?

>>15865
Two examples in a month = every other week.

Can't you lads just vary up your cunt-offs a bit more?

>>15867

Then where are the examples from last month, or the month before last, and so on?

>>15868
They'll be around.

>>15865
My post here >>/v/23708 might be an example? I said I enjoy the work of Graham Linehan despite him turning out to be totally unhinged; someone asked what I meant; someone else explained; and then yet another lad showed how little he cares but ranting about how little he cares, and the thread went into a mini cunt-off.

That being said, I don't support wordfiltering and don't recognise the OP's depiction of the boards.

Real men browse with /*/ and the sage does nothing.

>>15786
You don't mean to say we're simply not that interesting here?
Horror.

>>15787
We're three blokes in sheds, but we're interesting enough to each other and that's what counts.

>>15786
I use /sfw/ just in case the munter thread has been bumped on /x/.

>>15786
Indeed. Why would I browse individual boards when the site as a whole gets about 30 posts a day? /map/'s got posts from 2018 on the front page, not exactly warp speed posting over there.

>>15720

I believe the wordfilters are just PHP strcmp()/str_replace() calls. It'd be nice if they used preg_replace() for things like this but I don't see it happening.

>>15723

Actually if I'm right then putting the reddit.com filter before the reddit filter would work, while having reddit before reddit.com would break.

>>15724
The filters arrange themselves according to some vaguely unfathomable logic. I can't change which comes first.

>>15725
> The filters arrange themselves according to some vaguely unfathomable logic.

Somehow that seems totally appropriate. Actually trying to migrate the system to preg_replace() would probably suck the entire site and the shed it lives in into the void like in that YubYub gif.

I don't even know where rudgwick came from or why. I assume I missed a hilarious joke somewhere. or maybe I did it when I was full of pain pills that one week and don't remember

>>15631
Is he still around? I always found his ever more subtle attempts at introducing his 'ideas' to be amusing.

>>15632

Pretty sure it was him the other day arguing about when the "magic responsibility switch" or whatever it was goes off in people's heads.

>>15633
No, that was me. I just want kids to be tried as adults, and for capital punishment to be brought back. How does that make me a seppo?

>>15631
>It's not worth walling the whole of the US
I couldn't disagree more.

>>15631
I agree - there are far fewer US posters than you think, it's the yoof who have adopted their speaking/posting habits most of the time.

Yeah. I get this too, but only on /cash/

I think it has always been this way. I'm not no computer fixer man, but I've deduced that brian probably doesn't like the currency symbols.

>>15605
It worked until about 6 months ago.

>>15606

I did say I was no computer fixer man.

>>15588
You what mate?

You're using a garbage old browser. Modern browsers block auto-playing audio by default.

There's a "cum zone" and I wasn't invited? Tossers.

>>15591
So you say, but both versions of Chrome (stable and canary) I tested allowed it.

Not sure if this documentation remains current. Gs doesn't seem to have crossed the MEI threshold and has the "Automatic (default)" permission for Sound.

https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/09/autoplay-policy-changes#mei

>>15593
It didn't work on my Chrome variant or FireFox so thanks, if you hadn't let us know it did work for you I'd have assumed it didn't work and never bothered doing it again.

>>15546
I'm sure he'll be along soon, even if it's just to explain why he can't.

>>15546
Whitelisting individual IPs is a pain in the arse, apologies.

Let me do a bit of research and I'll let you know. Not convinced I want to open up Germany for one person, but let me look at some logs and consider.

Thank you modm8s.

You could always stop being a cunt shitting up the rest of the boards.

There already is, is this a phone posting problem?

>>15507
Yeah - certain browsers don't see the colour.
