Most ordinary people these days want a slick user interface with lots of smooth edges, curves, and plain colors with a corporate memphis art style. Importantly, they want something that feeds their narcissism and allows them to express their identity through an avatar and a bunch of friends with all this including their irl info. Lastly, they are actually profitable tech companies whereas imageboards often run at a loss and are just community projects, so there's no way you'd get financing for an internet forum to compete with social media.

>>137
> I don't think there'll be a mainstream internet forum, ever,
2channel, the grandaddy of all chan sites, was as mainstream as Reddit in Japan and the country's biggest internet community until it split in 2014. At one time, it was the biggest site on the internet and it was an anonymous textboard/BBS.

>>144
All I can think of is an anonymous version of Reddit with the kind of attitude to moderation you see on some of the better imageboards. But it would still have to have that memphis art style and have the look and feel of a Silicone Valley tech company.

I doubt imageboards or internet forums will ever be as big as they used to be and anonymous 2chan/4chan type sites are on the way out. Vast majority of gen Z just don't trust those places and see them negatively.

I paid 2000 bucks for one of those back in the day and I can’t even replace the fucking battery. You have to somehow remove the peeling and cum stained alcantara without ripping it (ifixit couldn’t do it), and then you have to remove every component because the battery is connected UNDER the motherboard, which is a lot harder said than done considering that every connector goes under its own spot welded RF shield. That probably means that the fcc is going to take away your newly repaired laptop once you start it up.

It has a 0 repair ability score for a reason

That is to say the repairability score is a meme based on consumer backlash to closed systems (otherwise ifixit wouldn't be selling battery replacements and scoring the job as medium dificulty).

File: 1672852695516.jpg (14.92 KB, 280x280, 1671633462547-0.jpg)

for free your best shot is gonna be self-hosted on an old pc, using mySQL. vichan (what comfychan is based on) as well as lainchan are both open source on github, so they're recommended. also since you're asking the question to begin with, i'd just go with ubuntu desktop for the host server, its not ideal for professional use but the gui will make it easier for you
landchad.net also has some good resources on self hosting.
note that it won't be 100% free as you'll have to buy a domain, unless you're fine with the site just being your ip address, not a problem if its just friends but for public use thats not a great idea.

I live in a CIA prison. A nigger runs my prison. In prison, the nigger tries to torment me. We can take away his knives by confessing, every day. In about 2000, I masturbated fantacizing about my niece, Lani. She looks like Star Trek Seven of Nine! In 1985, at my sister's wedding, I stuck my crotch on the hot tub drain because it kinda sucked. In 1985, I tried to get a dog to lick my dick. From 1998-2003, I fantacized about leading a Catholic army like Dune, of Mexicans or Brazilians? That was dumb because they're niggers. In 2003, I played tag with a black girl about 7-years-old. She reached for my crotch. In high school, in the library, Carlos and I said 'juicy' or 'toxic' as a way of evaluating girls. In 1988, I cheated on my SAT by talking in the hall during the break – two problems. On 9/9/1999, I killed a CIA nigger on purpose with my car. :-) In 1982, when I was 12, I babysat Kevin's kids. I changed a diaper because I thought that was being professional. In 1975, when I was about age five, my brother, Keith, put my penis in a vacuum. In 1977, when I was about age seven, my brother, Danny, got me high on gas fumes and we sucked each other's dicks. Dr. Tsakalis had an oddly round ass. Paul Keck at Xytec had an oddly round ass. Distracting? At about age five, Jay Weinrick and I touched dicks to each other's assholes.

Minimalism should be the standard, not the outlier. Most people don't need overly vague libraries that can solve every possible use case, they need a simple solution that can do everything it's designed to do easily.

A lot of significant open source software could be split into multiple seperate installs. Stuff like ffmpeg is pure bloat; fight me. 90 percent of those tools are never going to get used and instead will just waste space on someones harddrive in an era where public repos and internet connections are getting faster day by day.

Webmaster here. If you don't have programming experience, I recommend you read up on some html, css, and sql tutorials first before either designing a simple prototype on paper then making it into a prototype with a future proof database backend OR taking an existing deviantart clone from github and over time adding features, security, and a unique site identity, very much like this website. You can also use WordPress, but I'm afraid that's not going to scale very well from what I've seen.

As for hosting, simply plug an old, power efficient computer or a raspberry pi into wired internet and power in some dark corner of your home and install apache+dependencies on it through ssh. Done.

And make sure to think of an original name and buy the domain name before publishing it to the internet, but not before setting up cloudflare so you can't get ddosed. The latter is an absolute necessity.

When you're finally ready to go live, search up your modem's port forwarding instructions on the internet and forward the servers ip on port 80. Your website should be hosted on your home's ip address.

It's an honor to finally be the one helping others create their site.

The Logitech g19 is the absolute peak of keyboard technology and you can’t convince me otherwise.

I hate those mechanical keyboard with a burning passion; they’re loud, deep (and thus slow), and feel absolutely horrible, like a button in mashed potato.

All of them look identical, and the g19 was a glimpse of a future we never got. There is absolutely no other peripheral on earth that looks cooler than this keyboard, except for maybe the g502

>what are some ides i can run
your best bet is (neo)vim, emacs, or any terminal based text editor.
>is python a great language
i don't know how to code, if i were to pick a language it would probably be a lower-level language like c.
python has virus modules (not in the base install, you have to install them) but any language you're comfortable with is fine.

So, as a follow up to my last post, I disco0vered that my parents had neutered my GPU when they got me my laptop. Games actually use up around 50% of my GPU, but since it was neutered, I couldn't do shit.

Any of y'all been fucked like this?

that sucks dude, you could try debloating windows by running this script in powershell in administrator mode: "iwr -useb https://git.io/debloat|iex"

that might give you a bit of performance boost.

What does “neutering” a gpu mean? Is it on the os level?

You can try install a linux live usb to check and maybe use it normally.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

The GPU had a setting that meant that every app (including the OS shit) used the same portion of the GPU. He also installed tons of music shit I'm still finding. The problem's been resolved, I just need to manually give priority to my games in task manager.
