/metatech/ - /tech/ Meta Discussion

Board isn't kill like /b/ is right now, so you guys are probably doing alright.

No complaints from me.

Something has to be done about the recent influx of /g/ style general threads.

Like keyboard, headphone, etc.

The board has no quality anymore. The board is filled to the brim with reddit-tier threads - even /g/-tier would be better. The dream ideal of no rules and good quality would be a wonderful things, but you can't have the quality without the moderation.

At the current rate it'll be too late to save the board by next month. Ban wave when?

Please for the love of god someone tell me 8chan has another tech board that's not infested with cancer.

I can get better tech posts from Stormfront's chan.

At this rate I am in full exodus mode into Lain for /tech/.

Sticking with 8ch /tech/ is being a cuck. Look at it, it's /g/. Leaving would be like finding a newer, purer Aryan wife.

I told you werchan should be our next home and you didn't listen

>>1108

werchan can't handle more than five users, unfortunately, although I appreciate the fresh css and responsiveness with no jquery.

Just fork the board, that's why we're on infinitechan.

>>1109

>werchan can't handle more than five users

And your evidence? You saw this happen, I guess?

You should delete the helpthread and make a new one, /tech/ is slowing down at the moment.

can you leave the thread where we're convincing /pol/acks to delete system32 up for a couple of days or till it drops off index?

I know it's pretty mean but on the other hand convincing people that can't read to read the sticky is an exercise in futility.

>/tech/ is full cancer now

>let's leave and never come back

>heard this since 2014

Conclusion: /tech/ is filled with social justice masochist

What threads should /tech/ have if it's not discussing the latest tech news/hardware/software/peripheral devices/programming?

>>1114

only linux distro circlejerking is alowed

>>1114

>if it's not discussing the latest tech news/hardware/software/peripheral devices/programming?

Who said that? Start making those threads.

What we don't allow is consumer recommendation threads or tech support from people too stupid to help themselves.

No matter what you post you'll have some autistic chimping out on you.

Even the new board software that will fix a site that doesn't fucking work gets shitposted by angry autists.

/tech/ - angry autists

I might make a new /tech/ board if people are interested. It would have a different scope than this one.

I would not use 8ch though. Any thoughts?

Can you stick the following contents of this post as a separate sticky? It's an important security point most people don't even seem to know about:

"grub has support for loading encrypted drives. This has been around for a LONG time and people still brag about non-boot FDE.

Example with Parabola: http://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_parabola.html

Example with Trisquel: http://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/encrypted_trisquel.html

Example with Arch: http://www.pavelkogan.com/2014/05/23/luks-full-disk-encryption/

Example with Mint: http://www.pavelkogan.com/2015/01/25/linux-mint-encryption/

Example w-... You get the idea."

Edit as needed etc

/tech/'s thread turnover rate is already slow. Imagine the turnover rate of /tech2/... A bad thread there would linger in the catalogue for weeks.

My recommendation: Allow embeds and stop being such faggots.

>>1118

My thought is that it has been done before. These are the 8chan-based /tech/ alternatives that I can think of, some of which have different aims:

>>>/gentoo/ - Very early technology board started at the same time as /tech/, didn't take off

>>>/tech2/ - Stricter alternative to /tech/ that tries to fight shills, dead

>>>/actualtech/ - "/tech/ without politics", dead

>>>/g/ - Another early technology board, slow but not quite dead, but only because people occasionally come to 8chan without looking at the board list

>>>/g2/ - /tech/, except that it allows tech support threads and desktop threads and that it's dead

>>1121

>Stricter alternative to /tech/ that tries to fight shills

>dead

who could have guessed.

>>1121

I said it would not be on 8ch.
