Explain why /g/ shouldn't be auto-split in to two boards

4chan having too many boards is part of the server cost problem.

>>56897616
Because that's why aids inflator has the option to buy 4chan dumbass.

how would that work? most of /g/ spoofs their useragent and platform, and disables js to avoid fingerprinting

>>56897616
We should just ban the phone posters, specially clover agents

>>56897616
Because Windows is technology. So is Linux, BSD, MacOS, Unix, and even the shit stain that is TempleOS.

>>56897783
windows to technology is what cocaine is to medicine

>>56898633
errrm.. I have to reply with no.

>>56897746
Why?

>>56898633
more like methamphetamines

>>56897746

This. Only normies use mobile devices, they are essentially facebook and reddit tier shitposters. Any productive member of society uses an desktop.

>>56897616
>Explain why /g/ shouldn't be auto-split in to two boards based on your detected OS to help save 4chan.

I can't, you're right. Linux users need to fuck off to their own containment board.

>this is the state of /g/
I hate this site.

>>56898780
this

>>56897616
because it´s impossible to reliably detect the OS

>>56898804
>reliably

Not saying we should actually do it, but who cares??? It's impossible to reliably track location either, but we still range ban entire locations.

i'll post on /v/ if we can get the iphone users to fuck off to /toy/.

The user-agent info is in the HTTP header whenever you make a server request. Every fucking website you visit knows what OS you're using, just by being a server. The only thing that's unreliable is spoofing your user-agent.

all windows users should have been fucking aborted

>more boards cost money
are you retarded? >>>/v/
The problem is the retarded amount of bandwidth this money hole uses. Can you imagine if you had faggots uploading and download the exact same 4mb files over and over again 24/7?
I'm not sure what would cost more, the power bill or the internet bill, Id have to bet on the internet bill.

>>56897685
Are you implying they profit off of js fingerprinting?

>>56897616
Because I use both Linux and Windows and it would suck balls to be stuck in the Windows board.

>>56897616
le edgy linux user me me

>>56897616
Yeah i agree, i want Linux users to fuck off to another board: /gnu/ programming & gentoo

>>56898780
As a Linux user, I would have to agree. Please punish us by giving us our own board.

>>56897616
>That picture.
Let's be honest here, windows is as much of /g/ as linux, BSD or macOS because they are just operational systems.

Also let me be a dick again, if you really want to remove shit from this board, start with the watch, torrents, cellphones and other retarded chinese shit first.

Fuck off with this shit. It isn't the OS that isn't interesting it is the people posting. There are never advanced topics here for either Windows or Linux.

Windows discussions that never happen:
>AD and group policy
>MSSQL or Oracle tuning (inb4 Oracle Linux since that doesn't happen either)

Linux discussions that never happen:
>ALC
>webserver optimization (always about setup and which one is best)

Video card discussions that never happen:
>specification discussions that aren't benchmarks
>Using CUDA (outside video games)

Time to look in the mirror and realize if you made some quality posts maybe the bad OS people might go away.

>>56897616
because you can spoof those data points.

I use both, and your statement was 100% correct 2 years ago when clover was on the app store. The other mobile ports aren't very good in my opinion, and most likely keep the normies at bay.

LOONIX is an illegal hacker operating system for autists and poorfags lol.

Did you know that LOONIX violates over 40 Microsoft patents alone?

Demand genuine Microsoft software today.

lol.

most of /g/ doesn't know what the words "useragent" and "js" mean.

Splitting the boards won't decrease traffic though you Mexican retard.

Jesus and the audacity to redirect somebody to /v/ for that. You're not going to make a dent in the issue by splitting the boards. You might take some strain off due to different sets of images but that implies that everybody uses only one type of OS (which is wrong) so now you have people lurking BOTH boards, still straining the bandwidth because somebody tried rationalizing their shitty idea because they are butt hurt people use an OS different from them.

I N 2 0 1 6. OF ALL FUCKING YEARS.

Helping the problem by saging a bad thread so those not using 4chan X don't bring the server down.

What does it mean? i thought he mispelled "jk"

>>56899381
Actually, I would say that indirectly, having more boards would raise operational costs by increasing the amount of content that must be hosted simultaneously (assuming no other changes, and that current hosting appliances exactly meet current needs).

>>56906860
Hosting the content doesn't use bandwidth or excess energy because its all already there.
Where the money comes in at, is the transfer of files to and from this site.
If he deletes an an entire board, the users will just go to another board and post shit there, bumping their content to 404 faster, and then the original board memers will just make even more threads to repost the content.
The better move would be to make even more boards to ease the upload burden.

Im not sure who the fuck is hosting this shit, but there are also "content delivery" companies that it business use like google and Microsoft to roll out downloads to a shitload of people, it might be better to host our shitpost images there.

>>56907265
Just to clarify, I by "hosting content", I am saying having it present on the server neither being uploaded or downloaded.
When fags download it, that obviously does use bandwidth.
