Would it be possible to implement some js here to detect user agents, and kick off anyone using a non-free operating system?
I'm unfamiliar with both 8ch board operation and javascript so my apologies if this is a stupid question, but it seems to be possible according to 8ch.net

why even bother. I started using Linux because I used to lurk on /g. /tech is a gateway drug for Unix/linux
ew
It would help if you actually knew how this shit worked. User agent is sent to the server every time any HTTP request is made. No JS needed.
But no board can modify server software.
no board can modify javascript either
low-quality post prevention
no other option
user agent is like a header thing or something, I forget but it would be annoying if I got kicked off from ripping images from a thread because i didn't change my curl/wget's user agent into ebin ganoo+loonix freedumbs

He's suggesting blocking posting client side with javascript.

Can someone who has maintained a board here definitively say it is/isn't possible?
If this can be implemented, should it? Let's say only as a posting block.
That would be an issue with a whitelist but not a blacklist.
What the fuck do you think would happen if Jim let every random fuck run any javascript they wanted on a board?
...
Sure, by inspecting navigator.userAgent, and convincing everyone to paste it into the User JS box. There's no way to force javascript on your users.
It would have been possible with CSS by covering or displacing everything with an external image that only loads for people who request it with a proprietary user agent, but stylesheets only allow external hosts on a whitelist basis and it would have the side effect of logging everyone's visits which is not great.
But we're not interested in doing it in the first place. If you want to limit your own freedom™ that's your call. I think the BO dual boots.
It's possible if you're the Zig Forums administrator. You can't do it client-side.
Obviously not. Retards like yourself don't run sites for a reason.
Into the trash it goes. Tech is dead.
He dual boots Trisquel and ReactOS.
Nothing to worry about.
Privacy my ass. You're easier to track than my mom you turbo faggots.
Nice GET.
I wouldn't know, my browser doesn't even support js :^)
Solid point I somehow forgot user agent spoofing is a thing
That does sound like an awful way to do it and I'd oppose it
Check em! Nice get.
userContent.css says "hello".
You can also set your own stylesheet in the options, or view the board through mod.php (works even if you're not a mod on the board you're viewing), or hand-write requests and read them, or use an adblocker, or use a browser that doesn't support CSS.
It's infeasible to make something secure, but it's just for elitist purposes anyway.
Would still filter the retarded tech support questions.
I sincerely believe tech should move to its own server and provide a .onion only site. Vichan is no good for the quality of the content provided in tech. This should keep out most of the jews, pajeets and niggers.
lmao how about you fags actually try making any of your other boards even remotely appealing instead of typical entryism
OP is a faggot, here's a better idea:
Make a js script that blanks the whole site, to kick off retards who use js by default.
Javascript was a mistake.
The browser's useragent doesn't have to tell you anything about the OS. And also, it's trivial to change it.
Shit ring, even the option to use CSS to block proprietary user agents won't work on Zig Forums. We can't add CSS from our own hosts. We're locked into what Codemonkey decides is appropriate because of content security policy. If CSP wasn't on Zig Forums I could easily setup what you're describing with nginx and a css file.
Congratulations on being this obviously new.
(((J)))Scriptcucks get the gas
I hope we've went beyond "Please use the newest firefox or this website won't display properly".
Then is Typescript Kikescript?
This is a good idea. (Although a cleaner implementation would be simply purging the document tree.)
This gave me an even better idea: block everyone who doesn't spoof his UA to be that of Tor Browser (which may be, I think, the most widely adopted spoofed UA out there). This would filter out everyone who doesn't care about privacy.
Ask Hotwheels to implement it server-side, like they did it on commie 2ch:
2ch.hk
Spoofing your UA as Tor browser when you're not using tor exit or onions only puts you in danger of being more identifiable, Windows 7 is not the most used operating system anymore.
Oh it's not? Then what is?

user, I...
since this is a user agent thread now, anyone willing to share their lists of popular user agents? i've only got that huge xml file from user-agent.info but even then I don't think it has nearly all possible agents.
Go drink some bleach and shoot yourself in the mouth, you dumb fucking shit smear.
Why shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane?
js sucks balls. it's miserable to work with and produces ugly, unmaintainable, impossible to debug code.
