oh, looked like he renewed

Shitaba is dead, long live Shitaba

As long as the same userbase is around, I'll happily post on Hachitaba. Admin hasn't done anything dickish so far, and most of the more annoying ironic animeposter kissu people aren't here atm (which was my biggest fear about this reboot).

Speaking of that phrase, what do people even mean when they say "ironic animeposter"?

I consider taba to be a venture away from niche otaku driven boards into general purpose ones that have different interests. So the intent is for taba2 not to be kissu2

Ah, finally, an IB dedicated to discussing the weather.

No final database dump?

no, he seemingly stopped looking at the site, you can try and get him to do an upload and post a link here by pestering him at 4taba@cock.li but who knows. He was moving and getting a new job.

Meteorology is no laughing matter!

Site can still be accessed through the same means as last time this happened, just set an "104.27.130.186 4taba.net" and a "104.27.131.186 4taba.net" entry in your hosts file. No more database dumps since of course. You can still post on it.

I recorded that IP address before 4taba went down so that I could try it directly in my browser, but Cloudflare says no. I didn't know that editing the hosts file could work. You learn new things every day.
I really should learn more about how the Internet works sometime.

Can you still post?

>>16
Nope

It's not 4taba's real IP address, it's an IP address for one of Cloudflare's servers, which 4taba will appear on solely, among other websites. when you type in a website address and go to it, your web browser is actually sending text slightly more complicated than this, and it shows what the server gives back to it:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: wikipedia.org

GET (command),
/ (path, it'll more often be something like /index.html or /thread/ho/4),
HTTP/1.1 (HTTP version)

The Host line there is saying what host you want it from. It's always required, but still useless most of the time since you send this text directly to the host anyway. In Cloudflare's case, they actually use that line to be able to tell what website you want.

This is the actual line a browser sends to 4taba when the host is defined in the hosts file, or if you're able to change your "Request Headers" manually (I haven't seen any browser that lets you do this, unfortunately):
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: 4taba.net
DNT: 1
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-US,en
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

I know it complicates things even more, but I think cloudflare will also refuse to send you a page unless you have the " __cfduid" cookie and the User-Agent request header because they're the racist bartenders who don't serve robot kind. Unfortunately, with Cloudflare, it's difficult to access websites unless they have an actual DNS entry/a line in your hosts.

he contacted me. Asked him again about doing a DB upload with images in an archive format
