Hello everyone.

I've been here an awfully long time, haven't I? A very, very long time. I first inherited Uboachan way back in 2011, 14 years ago now, and I began carrying forward Sushichan a few years after that. And it's been fun. I got to befriend and even meet some of you. Some became IRL friends. I even dated a few of my imageboard users. If it weren't for these imageboards, I am really not sure where my life would be right now.

But, over time, I changed, as people do. I am a very different person than when I started out here. Very different. And so, it's been kind of hard for me actually, to keep the act going for this long. In a lot of ways I don't really see eye-to-eye with my userbase the way I did in the past. And though I still love visiting, and my position is kind of flattering, I have had the nagging feeling for a long time now that I am not really the right person for the job anymore.

No, I am not really the kind of person anymore, who ought to be running an imageboard. As much as I love these sites and want them to survive, being the owner of two imageboards is in some ways a burden on my current persona. It feels like I have to split myself down the middle, to keep running these sites. And with the way things are going in the world, and in my personal life, I am about to have other problems to worry about.

So, I am passing the torch on Uboachan and Sushichan, just as they came to me in the past. The sites will live on, but I will not be at the helm. That role will go to long-time friend and board user Balthasar, also known as Seagal. I really think that he is the best man for the job. In the coming months, I will be transferring everything to another server under his control. I will stay on as a user and tech consultant, hanging out now and then, and helping with backend issues as Seagal gets the feel of things. And, as the boards' owner, I will retire and move on to other things.

It has been an honor. Thanks for everything.
- Seisatsu

back in the day i was a heavy 4chan user, maybe around 2009 or so. I was younger and dumber but I miss that environment. The image board culture is one I miss and wish I could immerse myself in again.

I browse sushigirls occasionally but honestly I can't quite nail down if I am "welcome" here.

I'm a smelly commie, I'm a trans woman, im a furry piece of shit, and frankly I can't tell if this board is a "we're all bigots but want a good face so we dont let each other talk about it" or a genuinely safe place with a few hateful weirdos sprinkled in as a minority.

where exactly does this website fall on the "these people want me dead" scale? i love the environment but I cant tell if sticking around here would require me to accept that the people im talking to want me to die or not.

I haven't been on this board in a few years, but I remember entering and lurking the discord for a bit. It was pretty racist, standard imageboard fare, which surprised me since the board seemed nice enough. Reading through the rest of this thread gives me no real confidence that anything has changed other than accepting trans people more, since they seem to be very represented on imageboards in general.

It seems like a common attitude is "hey you are free to do what you want but don't signpost your identity or express your background" where maintaining sushi rollymity is wheeled out as an excuse to ignore people of certain backgrounds. But this can lead to policing of what people are allowed to express. But the kind of aggressive wear it on your sleeve oppression Olympics you see on other sites is really not desirable either. On the average imageboard, you are likely to take heat if you post anything mildly trans or minority related even if you aren't being a social media attention whore. Its probably worse for blacks and Africans though. And the obvious problem is when an identity is politicized, simply talking about anything vaguely related is likely to be interpreted as political and uncomfy.

Just wondering why the drinking thread got deleted (thread 15825 in lounge I think)?
Would be nice to know if there's some new thinking on alcohol talk being unfitting for some reason, and if making a new thread is ok or not.
Or did it accidentally get blasted in friendly fire during the unhinged spam thing last night?

I dont think moderation should be disproportionate, but deleting those threads only harms your fellow rolls who were using those threads. I really enjoyed that doll thread and now I'm sad.

Perhaps the threads should become sushi property (undeletable) after enough time?

I only remember one pic of yours that had gotten spoilered, but if the rest was along similar lines I don't know if it was that disproportionate. If one was browsing sushi on their phone on the bus or something (not that I myself would use boards on anything but a proper computer) and a normie looked over on the screen they'd probably think you were looking at softcore loli porn.

In my thinking, if you wouldn't have it out on your screen in public, probably a good idea to spoiler it.

I didnt see the images but this seems like a subjective and silly way to think about it. It seems perfectly normal to me to read manga in public, including manga with ecchi scenes. Even outside of otaku content, I've seen plenty of people watching movies on airplanes with sex scenes and gore as well.
Anyway isn't it a virtue to not be ashamed of what you love and to not worry about what strangers who are looking over your shoulder think of you?

 No.1354

>>1344
Yes, it's a virtue. Not one that everyone has the inclination to pursue. You're forcing all board users to adopt the same view or to only use the board in the privacy of their home.

I've noticed that IRC has been pretty dead as of late, while the activity on the boards has remained fairly constant. I feel like this is due to IRC quickly becoming a niche thing. My other imageboard Uboachan switched to Discord some years back and the chat has been explosively active ever since. So, I am wondering if anyone still prefers IRC, or if we ought to try moving to Discord and see how that works out. Thoughts?

Haven't used Rizon for around 5 years or so now. Quality among a lot of channels had dropped before I left but it would definitely be a better entry point for those interested in trying out IRC who hasn't before. Their bouncer and cloaks are extremely easy to obtain and configure.

>>1123
Same here. I don't even own a phone to give a number to these platforms even if I were to be willing to do so. Most won't even accept a temp number from various websites either. Discord's UI is attrocious in my opinion as well. I do like the matrix/element idea. While I haven't personally used it myself, it seems to be a better alternative to Discord.

I would warn, Rizon requires a working email in order to register your nick. I tried with 10minutemail but never received anything and gave up after 2 tries.

Plus there's a lot of un-comfy IBs that use rizon for their irc channel, which means you'd have to put up barriers to entry or else have lots of Ops monitoring the chat to put down raids.

 No.1127

>>1125
>or else have lots of Ops monitoring the chat to put down raids
I've used Rizon frequently since ~2008 and have maybe seen one raid, and that was 10+ years ago. Raids are very uncommon, and if the channel is set to not appear in /whois will be even rarer.

Wasn't aware about needing a "proper" email to register, though. That's unfortunate for those who want privacy in that regard.

I have modified the software today to be able to block the actual endpoints of the shortened URLs usually included in CP spam. This should help a lot with slowing down the spam; the spammers have infinite URL shorteners but so far they all point to the same few places. We will start checking endpoints and adding them to the blocklist soon. Hopefully browsing will become less stressful.

This modification has also been submitted as a pull request to the main vichan repo. Hopefully they pick it up and other sites can start using it.

P.S. I also upgraded us to the newest version of the software. Stuff could break so please let me know if something isn't working right.

Changing my mind about this. There are some people who use VPNs on our site, so I think it's better to just add another SQL query step in post.php and block them at the database (MySQL/MariaDB) level by adding another table of just these CIDR addresses instead of blocking them with firewalld, because otherwise they may assume the site is down or something. I don't think it should be a problem to just create a new table with 500k entries, and continue to have a cron job to clear and update it annually.

 No.1277

>>1276
Currently the precedent is not to blanket-ban any and all suspected datacenters and VPNs from viewing the site. Using these methods is not bannable and doing so would generally hurt our users. I see that you have figured that out yourself.

Even then, vichan already supports DNSBL, why is this needed?

In addition, it won't generally stop CP4 as they are not using obvious datacenter IPs anymore. I still believe content-based filtering is the only long-term solution with a plausible effect. And empirically it seems to work pretty well.

Thanks to the moderation team for their work this year.

Do you think the weaponry finally did its trick? Or do you believe we are still losing users left and right due to slow moderation?

Saved - I read every post from the webm "live"… :D It was a fun year. Recently I gave up on contributing here, though. It just felt like talking to myself. Maybe my posts were not worth a reply..? There is hardly any new threads, too. Board seems barren even more so when you consider sushigirl's Discord is beaming with life.

Staff is not too fast with the cleanup either, and its weird to me that the anal poster is not dealt with via software - like, with "take action now.*anal" regex filter?

Thought this would be a good place to post any issues users run into. The only one I have dealt with yet is that attempting to go to the catalog of any board returns a 404.

made a mistake, you need nginx-ctl when doing it in cron, it needs to be:
0 0 * * 0 /usr/bin/certbot renew –nginx-ctl /usr/sbin/nginx –quiet

(dash dash for nginx-ctl and quet, not emdash)
and if you're not on root account make sure you edit crontab with sudo crontab -e and not just crontab -e

that works on our board. yo soysatsu do the following

sudo apt update
sudo apt install graphicsmagick
sudo apt install gifsicle


in inc/config.php or inc/instance-config.php (the latter overrides the former), set the following
$config['thumb_method'] = 'gm+gifsicle';

instead of the default 'gd' value or if you set it to 'convert'.

if posting that file still emits that error, plz post graphicsmagick version by typing in terminal
gm version

ours is "GraphicsMagick 1.3.37 2021-12-12 Q8"
