In a world where ladies appear naked thinking that they are putting on clothes. In a world where women do things that arouses the Men. In a world where parents encourage their children to wear skimpy dresses. What world are we living in?

Should rapists be sent to jail or not?

Most rape cases are provoked as a result of the above things mentioned and also some insane individuals whom for one reason or the other engage in such an act. Nevertheless, anybody found guilty of this crime, should be punished severely.

This isn't fact, stop spreading random bullshit.

<...>AWS is neat, but linode could be much more cost effective to mitigate a DDoS.<...>
A bit off-topic, but Linode doesn't really have a good rep in the Bitcoin community: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/03/bitcoins-worth-228000-stolen-from-customers-of-hacked-webhost/

That's strange. I didn't notice they were compromised in 2012. I'm betting their security measures have increased many times after an attack like that. However, I was just pointing out leveraging multiple providers instead of putting all your eggs into the same basket. Sure AWS functions great now, but why not also leverage OVH, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean or any other provider. AWS is stupid expensive iirc; paying for them to mitigate a DDoS attack might not really be cost effective.

>The first major flaw with my setup is that it wasn't easy to change. My setup would grab a few configuration details (eg. the origin server IP) from VPC-local DNS records that I would set, but if I wanted to make deeper changes, I'd have to modify one of the instances, convert that into a new AMI, terminate all of the other instances, and then start new instances again. If I wanted to change the number of gates, I'd have to start/stop them manually and change the DNS records myself. A good solution would never require this much manual work, and would use things like auto scaling groups and CloudFormation to simplify it. It should only take a couple of minutes to add a new iptables rule, for example.


Look into some automation tooling for this. I don't think it'd be that hard to roll out changes automatically. Locking the forums into a system like cloudformation might not be the best idea.

Check into terraform to deploy on different infrastructure. AWS is neat, but linode could be much more cost effective to mitigate a DDoS.

>Another point is that you could design the system such that it does not require looking into HTTPS traffic. It can just work at the TCP layer and pass the encrypted HTTPS traffic verbatim. I'm not sure how exactly you would tunnel the real data to the real server (I previously thought that GRE tunnels would work, but somebody told me that this might not be the appropriate tool), but it should definitely be possible. The upside to this is that you can use a very powerful service like AWS without trusting them too much. The downside is that you cannot use layer 7 data for IP classification, and you cannot insert a challenge; it's either block or allow. The ideal anti-DDoS solution would give you the option of whether you want to give the gates access to your HTTPS or not.


Like a standard firewall? Layer 4 blocking?

Stop fucking spamming this goddamned thread. Jesus fuck. Creating a billion alt-accounts and constantly bumping it is annoying as shit. Hopefully all your alts get banned soon so I don't have to look at this shit.

One: This thread is in the wrong section.

Two: All the fuckers with 1 post that are posting are so obviously alts.

Three: Fuck you and fuck your face.

I have this problem also and it is very annoying.Sometimes I just get message that my computer send automated queries and only thing that help is to reset my modem to get new IP address.

Situation became much worse in last few weeks and many users complain that reCaptcha is completely unsolvable,and this is particularly evident in faucets where you need to solve captcha to claim reward.

It would be nice to add second captcha to login as choice,I think many would be grateful for that.
One of the reasons why the image captcha is widely used, is it's not as easy to automate such as the other captchas. That's why it's popular, and I think it's a very good system at it's core. I've only ever had problems with the captcha loading slow, or becoming unsolvable when using Tor. But, I imagine clearing your cookies would fix it on Firefox/Chrome.

It's becoming easier and easier to automate. Eventually, captchas will be entirely broken as machine learning gets better and better.

copy and paste was once .he forgot and did not have time to remove the post
it was once. not more
Now that he doesn't have the forum to post on, he has much more time. Maybe he can even fit in pressing a button and waiting a few seconds.

forum is his work.
Get a real job.

'it was only once' -> Posts link to thread where he does almost nothing but copy and paste. Nice one.

give him one more chance.
No.




Well, we are all human beings. and should help each other. We have a big family and he found a job on the forum. Why are you so angry ??

>Low quality topics and posts are not allowed

The amount of low quality posts is too damned high. You shouldn't be relying on spamming an internet forum for income that you survive on. Go build something instead of spamming the shit out of this forum.

Is there any real benefit to allow thread like these remain / go unlocked?

Epochtalk is extremely complicated especially on the admin side of things. That includes moderation/accountability, etc. For comparison, forums like Discourse have been in development a lot longer than us.

Take a look at the issues we have on the Github and try it out or something. Note, that the dependencies that are being developed are also under the entire epochtalk organization.

I feel like a broken record because these questions have been answered over and over. Apologies for not having anything more central and easier to digest than the Github repos.

Really? Is beta.bitcointalk.org legit the latest version? It's been 3 years and this is it? What is it being coded in... assembly?

If I remember correctly, the budget for the site was in the tens of thousands of BTC. At today's value, it'd probably be a $50MM bid. I'm thinking the admins were swindled in the bid... I think it should go back open or at least make a more open competition for the new software.

Edit: Found the source. It's freaking Javascript... that's why. Who would want that ungodly mess to manage? ew.

Edit2: https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk for those that can't google.

Why JS?

Is there any chance that we will also see new donator ranks with these Paid memberships being introduced?

Something between Donator & Copper, which would grant you something like a custom title for donating / supporting to the forum?

Maybe someday, but the forum doesn't really need extra income right now, and if I was going to do that I'd want the membership to have several real extra benefits.

Give it to charity if the forum doesn't need the money. The money can also just be saved or invested but the benefits of offering more donator ranks are more than just monetary. The biggest issue here is trying to curb the colossal amount of account farming by shitposting which is ruining the forum (and staff are left to constantly clean to up the mess which is a losing battle).

The true way to win is make the value of posts equal nil by banning signature campaigns  Roll Eyes [Authoritarian sometimes does work]

More moderators or introduce automation can at least treat the symptoms better now. Encouraging / rewarding user reports would probably help too, honestly that might open up its own market. Seems this happens a lot with India...

But seriously, is there any automation in place? I mean, should we start collaborating strings to search for in posts to help automate it? Are false-positives really an issue?
 Considering how appealing bans is fairly straight forward, it's really not.

Bluefirecorp, you underestimate the ennemies. They want to kill you and will if you don't kill them first. First win the spirit, the rest is just for fun.

And you value too much the "human" life.. they want to jail plants users for life or kill them? You propose what against them? I see them as nazis, aka no mercy.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

Maybe if you actually studied any history at all, you'd know that isn't true. Sure, having big guns gives you a voice, but it doesn't mean you can silence every other entity in the world... even more so when they have guns of their own.

With all talk of space exploration, i really don't think that drugs is really a major problem , the rules of one's country ends when someone is outside the limits of the country and no one has the right to claim a part of the planets of the universe as their own. Let everyone do what please them.

Pretty much. OP seems to have a hate for drugs and drug users, which is kinda dumb as fuck considering he wants to kill these people because they're slowly killing themselves with drugs. .-.

Take care of your children...

It will be much easy to detect and combat drugs in outer space, where the air is engineered and pure.  Any foreign substances would be detected instantly by sensors.



So the drug enforcement agencies have access to every sensor on every ship? Even if they're multiple lightyears away.

There's this whole long range communication problem we have with space... we can't even get data to travel at the speed of light, but you're expecting instantaneous communication with a centralized authority that controls every single space ship. What a dystopia.

No. Shutup with your authoritarian ideals. I'll do what I want with my body and your jurisdiction ends at the edge of Earth.

No, they will be pushed back in their graves... one by one, assisted by AI to track them and eliminate them. And the plant kingdom will be saved and spared.

Yeah, because true AI would totally be controlled by a human and used to kill other humans. Totally makes sense.

Are you mentally challenged or something?

"Oh no! They're doing stuff to themselves, better kill them for it". Makes a ton of fucking sense.

How could an ai consider humans those who want to control what others put in their bodies? It's just that these mentally retarded people supporting prohibitions and genocide of certain plants of their earth are a treath to life that will be eradicated. There is a brutality and decisivneys in intelligence that those non humans can't apprehend in their authoritarisanism. Ultimately they hide their fear of their unescapable death.

You're dumb. Seriously sit down and think about that for a few seconds. "Protect the planet and protect life on the planet by taking the lives of everyone that disagrees with what's defined as healthy". "If you don't do exactly what we say, we're gonna kill you". Seems like a great society. I wonder how the AI will evolve in that sort of society. Oh, right, they'd just murder their creators.

Take care of your children...

Your preception horizon is particularly small... didn't thaught for one second that boarding a ship or breaching the defense lines of the drug empires will be easy? Who said that the authritarians will have the deadliest weapons?

Alien plants may have hidden gem among them... and who knows who will want what...

Pathetic, for someone creating universe...

What are you babbling on about now? Oh, the size of the universe... right. Do you really think that drug enforcement factions will overcome other factions? If so, you're mistaken. Chemical bliss may slow down the production means of an empire, but it'd also raise morale several times as much, which allows for other problems to exist and remain unsolved (overpopulation for example).

That's something I was thinking about not too long ago. I think companies should pay per second of your time instead of paying you weekly, biweekly, or monthly. It'd mean less waiting for payday, and more just spending your money as you have it (for those living paycheck to paycheck).

I think people would stop working minimum wage when they see they're getting paid only a few pennies every few minutes. Maybe people would have a better idea of the value of their time.
