reddit open source lives! If anyone wants to help out and actively try to find our ip address, that'd be great. just don't post the damn thing publicly if you find it.

Its basically shitposting, we watch streamers and meme the fuck out of them, but we were told in this site you have to discuss, so we discuss about them and expose them too! We might have a few bad apples but dont mind them!

[–]Jesus 15 insightful - 7 fun15 insightful - 6 fun16 insightful - 7 fun -  (18 children)

Well don't brigade other subs. This place isn't like reddit. You have to follow the pyramid of debate to some extent. Admins have banned a few users who just spew ad hominems like it is their job. The one thing I hated most about reddit was shills who posted fallacies 24/7 so nobody could effectively argue anything.

Saidit is the centrist reddit/voat. It allows every viewpoint, radical or not, as long as you stick to the pyramid of debate. Commines, fascists, the Hitler Youth, Zionists, anti-Zionists, conspiracy theorists are all welcomed, as long as you don't spew reductio ad absurdums and ad hominems all day. The point is to have some semblance of good debate here, rather than the authoritarian shilling of /r/politics or its right wing version /r/the_Donald on reddit, of whoch I was banned their three times for simply asking a question about Trump and his connections with Epstein as well as S(auci) Arabia. So basically, do not post threats or personal attacks against others. Debate in good evidence. If you wish to expose streamers by all means. Exposing others is of course welcomed here and probably one reason why this place has been a target.

Also, no sockpuppets.

[–]Chipit 6 insightful - 4 fun6 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 4 fun -  (15 children)

T_D is an explicitly pro Trump subreddit. Maybe take your Saudi shit to literally any other subreddit, you'll be hailed as a hero.

[–]Jesus 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (14 children)

It isn't pro Trump, it is about Trump. Eveyone has the right to ask questions to Trump supporters and argue their point of view without being banned by authoritarians. If Trump admin makes a deal with Saudi Arabia, people have the right to sift through the details and post their point of view on the Trump administrations involvement if it is relevant, which it most definitely is.

Also, your last sentence is a fallacy, but that is expected from someone who posts fallacies regularly.

"Trump supplies arms to Saudi Arabia", person wants to post this on Trump sub, or simply ask a question in regards to it, "Trump authoritarians" ban person w/ different view point, calling him a "libtard." Many Trump advocates then gang together and say that your point of view in which you're objevtive was to learn about opposite view points is null and void.

Person, does not learn opposite viewpoint because he is snubbed from the beginning, never to express his view on these matters. What happens? Well, this bolsters biases on both sides of the political paradigm. Nobody learns a damn thing.

But hey, at least my question which you fortunately have absolutely no idea what it was will be, as you've stated "hailed as a hero." Again, bolstering bias, learning absolutely nothing. What I see is an immensity of bias in you, so much so that you choose to spew fallacies as if they should be viewed as critical logical points of view.

Yes. Impressively faster actually. Maybe a blessing in disguise lol

Mod of https://saidit.net/s/Incels here. On behalf of all of us, thank you so so much for being a safe haven for the downtrodden and a bastion of free speech!

Truly a sad world where people destroy our (internet) home, then chase us to where we take refuge and try to destroy that too merely because we're physically unattractive...

[–]Jesus 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I remember incels were blamed for several fake PsyOp hoax shootings over the years. The Toronto one was espeically hilarious and poorly orchestrated. Apparently incels and monogamy is especially dangerous to TPTB, and should be survielled and discredited with the use of taxpayer funded psyops.

[–]shtposter9000 17 insightful - 3 fun17 insightful - 2 fun18 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

@magnora7, you need to understand something. We were a community of 100,000 people. There are communities trying to shut us down. Twitch, SJW's and people that tried to leech but found out people doesn't want to watch them. Even the FBI will roam this sub because we are here.

So stay vigilant

[–]go1dfish 16 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 0 fun17 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Glad to hear it.

What it comes down to is that thumbnail/title fetching must be moved to another machine. This attack pattern happened at Voat as well.

They suggest title on a site they control and look for the request looking for the title.

This is why I haven’t bothered trying to add these features to notabug and don’t treat them as core features.

My god that's mental... How did these pesky cunts got Saidit's IP address in the first place?? Glad that things are back to [partially it seems] normal.

[–]magnora7[S] 13 insightful - 3 fun13 insightful - 2 fun14 insightful - 3 fun -  (11 children)

How did these pesky cunts got Saidit's IP address in the first place?

We're not totally sure, but it seems to be likely linked to one of the services I mentioned in the original post. Somehow they are able to use one of those services to access the server in a way that bypasses cloudflare and they can then get access to our server's real IP address, and then DDOS the server directly. Basically the next week or two for d3rr and me is going to be figuring this out so it doesn't happen again. It seems most likely to be the chat though imo, so we might have to get a separate cheap server for the chat. But it might also be media server stuff (thumbnails). We have to check everything, so like d3rr said if anyone spots a way to get our real IP address in a way that bypasses cloudflare please tell us! Then we can fix it and make saidit even stronger.

[–]zyxzevn 8 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 1 fun9 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Chat is usually a big security problem.
Did you test with ProcessHacker (very easy) or even with GlassWire?

[–][deleted] 9 insightful - 3 fun9 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Thanks. Those look like windows tools, but something like that would surely show our server making a remote connection, exposing its ip.

[–]Alt-Universe 6 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Probably the IRC server. :(

What bothers you, the icon or the functionality?

[–]go1dfish 10 insightful - 2 fun10 insightful - 1 fun11 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

You set up a site, you submit a link to your site (that nobody else is visiting) to saidit and have it fetch the title for suggestion and thumbnail for display.

You then look at your access log to determine the ip of the requestor.

Those services must get moved off of the main machine and designed to fail in a way that won’t impact the rest of the site.

[–][deleted] 10 insightful - 4 fun10 insightful - 3 fun11 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

Oh, now you tell us :) Hhahaa... yeah it was probably this. We're going to setup a proxy server to make these requests.

[–]Divine_Lotus 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Glad to see the site back up and functional again. Thanks magnora, and d3rr. I'm sure you guys have been beating your head against walls for the past few days.

We certainly have some interesting new neighbors in our community. I haven't yet made my mind up about them. Many seem to be pretty cordial folks, and others....are not. But we're going to have to learn more about one another and come to some agreements because it seems we're all going to be sharing this space for a while.

Take a chance and talk with them. I did and to my surprise, they aren't half bad. I probably wouldn't be a regular in their community. But, I got to admit.. seeing all the actual free speech is definitely a welcoming sight for sore eyes.

[–]magnora7[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Yes I would've preferred to remain in Switzerland but we made a choice to go with known servers that we could depend on for the time being. We may move back at some point if we can find a reliable service there, but we just wanted to get saidit back up as soon as possible because it had been down for over 2 days

[–][deleted] 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

No problem. We are on a month-to-month plan, so it's easy for us to move again. So maybe in a month we will try out another swiss place that is a little bigger and better-established than the last one.

[–]magnora7[S] 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

The best place to stay updated in case of a saidit outage is on reddit:

www.reddit.com/r/magnora7

and

www.reddit.com/r/saiditnet

and sometimes

www.reddit.com/r/redditalternatives

We had threads going on over there during this recent outage.

[–][deleted] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Thanks mate. Any chance of a Saidit mobile app?

[–]magnora7[S] 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

We have an android app, links are in the footer. Our iOS app is at least a month out probably, but it's in the works.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

Thanks, looking forward to the Ios App! Just a simple request but could you add a small dark/light mode switcher at the top right of the Saidit website instead of the ugly black/white box? My eyes prefer light mode for some reason.

Example: Sun (light) icon: ethereum.org/assets/img/icon-sun.f0087fa4.svg

Moon (Dark) icon: http://ethereum.org/assets/img/icon-moon.0d522939.svg

[–]magnora7[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Well we already have that feature, lucky for you! :) That's what the black/white diagonal box is in the top right, click it and it'll also remember your preference if you're logged in.

We'll try and add that to the iOS app if possible, but it will most likely inherit the color scheme of the "Beam" app we're porting it from, although we might modify that if there's interest.

[–][deleted] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Aw thanks:) Mabye you replace it with a sun icon like http://ethereum.org/assets/img/icon-sun.f0087fa4.svg idk?

Yeah that might be a better icon, I'll consider changing it, thanks for the idea!

Geebus. WHat is wrong with people. Blowing up the whole city because they don't like a room in the house.

Thank you u/d3rr and u/magnora7 for what must have been an epic task.

Thank you for your consideration! It was a bit of a scramble for a few days there.

Damn! Think it's the same group that did 8chan? I wonder if it was an organized group, or just some 'hive' like chapotraphouse with something like a LOIC.

Possible Solution?: Somehow set up a decentralized system for Saidit with Blockchain technology for more security. Maybe something with IPFS or Blockstack. More encryption?

Is it possible to have a better alternative to Cloudflare tech? I saw some articles mentioning that they tend to censor sites with their tech, unless i'm wrong'

I agree that decentralization is the future. Here are a few other projects I've been following:

lemmy - Another federated reddit clone

Memo.cash - Social network using the Bitcoin Cash network

AKASHA - Upcoming social network based on Ethereum.

nntpchan - nntp based decentralized imageboard

Yeah we hope to decentralize somehow someday. It's a mountain of work.

Being decentralized is extremely slow usaully but hopefully the tech improves

Glad to be back, thanks for all the hard work getting things back on track. I know you've got a lot on your plate now, but I'd still like to help out when you start accepting Monero contributions.

I was freaking out when the site wouldn't load. I feared the worse and am glad saidit is back. Thanks!!!

These features are disabled for security for the next few days or week. The best you can do now is to make a text post with an image link in it.
