I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.
someone hacked into the sewer and stole all the turds
There just has to be a copy of the database somewhere out there...
This amuses me. Fuck that refuse scow
Question: what is the significance of /qa/, why was the board banned in the first place, and why did the hackers bring it back?
qa was my favourite 4chan board probably ever. it was a random board like /b/, but strictly SFW. so, they were the creatives of the site. the soyjak memes you see everywhere started there. they got into fights with other boards but it came to a boiling point when they raided 4chans LGBT board, and as a result qa was closed. they moved to another website. that website, or rather one of its users, then spent about a year navigating the very outdated freebsd from a decade ago running on 4chans servers until he was able to access the PHP admin panel, re-open /qa/, and then nuke all files on the server except the homepage. which itself now seems to return an SQL error.

Start linking up 4chan IDs to real rich people like Musk or republican officials and watch trump start calling for the death penalty for the hacker.
It’s that incel elon musk starting all those facebook porn threads on /b/.
I think you guys have a weird idea of what 4chan is.

Turns out the hacker known as 4chan barely knows how his own code.

I looked at some of the leaked source code and my god the code smells are so rotten its like they had a dead horse in the back for a while and its developed a stank like an Eric Andre skit.
It increasingly looks like nobody would maintain this bundle of wax besides under-experienced juniors who threw themselves at it, and apparently after moot sold it, it was never touched. It runs on an extremely old version of FreeBSD and PHP.
The fact this happened now as opposed to any time in the past decade is, I have no words.
I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.
Kill WordPress now.
Also, the owner of Wordpress is allegedly a piece of s...
I wish people would stop censuring themselves on lemmy like they do for the other social medias. You can say shit, and a lot worse now that you aren't asking a corpo for permission to speak.
Shaaaaaving cream! Be nice and clean! Shave every day and you'll always look keen!
Aaah, someone of culture, I see.

I wanna bet attackers probably thought it would be maintained by one or several of the most no-life, chronically-online users of the web... or that they would be waiting for an attack to get revenge in their typical unhinged way... and it turned out no one was maintaining or watching it at all XD
security theater is a quite effective deterrent at times.
Not even 4chaners thought it was worth protecting

damn it's even in the original 140p
120x160, actually, but effectively close enough.
(e: also it's a static image; no need to indicate whether it's interlaced or *p**rogressive, because again, it's a static image. And before you get pendantic: yes I'm aware that PNGs can be interlaced or progressive—but this is a JPEG—and those terms mean something completely different when referring to static images, compared to video.)
It's also not a progressive JPEG either.
