[_] Important Question Inside Anon 3271871 So, Flash is going to be dead in just a few years. We're gonna be able to buy a little more sand for our hourglass via people who refuse to update their computers, but the end is coming. Is there any plan to convert swf files into another format so they aren't lost forever? We need to start planning now, there are almost 200 thousand swf files on SWFChan alone, let alone sites like Newgrounds, Dagobah, AlbinoBlackSheep, and all the other sites from our childhoods. Marked for deletion (old).
>> [_] Anon 3271883 Most swf files could probably be converted to webm files, albeit with a considerably larger file size and I doubt flash will die in a few years, considering how many people won't update is one thing, but also the amount of businesses that have PC's they won't upgrade until they absolutely have to, which would likely be never, and they'd just update their servers instead
>> [_] Anon 3271889 >># >So, Flash is going to be dead in just a few years. No it won't, you idiot. It'll just lose support. Nothing on the internet ever dies, and no amount of assurance from those jewish fucks at Chrome or Adobe will ever change that.
>> [_] Anon 3271891 >little more sand for our hourglass via people who refuse to update their computers Isn't that infinite sand? >Nothing on the internet ever dies Your wrong, I've run into websites not found in the wayback machine just as one example.
>> [_] Anon 3271893 >># where do you think you are? /youtube/? there is a reason a file is a .swf and not a .mp4, you can't just convert all files to webm even if it was just a video that plays from x to y it's gonna be a huge file size increase (about 10 times) not counting flv embeds, but they should be converted to webm from the getgo, reconverting them will get terrible results what about interactivity in these swf? what about ALL flash games? converting them to html5 is at the very least a huge java fiddling timesink >># biggest concern will be trustable .exe downloads of all projectors and browser add-ons, looks like adobe will try to hunt down "security meanacing" third party uploads (which is against EULA)
>> [_] Anon 3271916 HTML5 player is being worked on by several people. They will gain momentum as more people learn about the deadline and the projects. Web browsers will still work with Flash if you keep an old version around for it. You just need to make sure it is locked away from colliding with other versions of the same browser. You can do that with open source browsers by installing the open-source / alternative builds. You might need to also install Flash along with them. (even with it installed currently, Flash is fucking dumb) Or you can use a solution below Windows: download Sandboxie. Learn how it works. Install Chrome (V45 with NPAPI flash, fuck PPAPI) Make shortcut to it and place it wherever. Install Flash. Use it exclusively for Flash. The sandboxing of Chrome AND Sandboxie together will prevent any attacks against you unless some NSA-tier Flash hacks get out, or you piss off the NSA personally. Linux: Install Firejail. Learn how it works. Install an old version of Chrome likewise. Install Flash. Run command firejail [insert old chrome version location] Should work. Not tried it though. Mac: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I DUNNO LOL. There are more sandboxing programs you can find for each OS. Check AlternativeTo.net and other sites.
>> [_] Anon 3271918 >># >html5 >that laggy piece of shit that has no proper plugin_container Oh fuck off.
>> [_] Anon 3271930 You can just have Flash (the Photoshop-esque Adobe product, not the runtime redist) installed on your PC. It comes with flashplayer.exe. Can run pretty much anything without relying on browser support. I mean - what the fuck people? Do you actually open your browser just to view swfs saved on your HDD?
>> [_] Anon 3271931 and on that note, I remember long ago Flash Player was program separate both from your browser and Flash itself. It had a white ball icon (as opposed to Flash's red ball).

>> [_] Anon 3157053 "Two terabytes per day" isn't THAT much when you're talking about an image-based website with literally billions of pageviews per day. Keep your chill, hoes. If I'm not mistaken, /f/ used to be hosted on a completely different server to the rest of 4chan, although that's from the days when different servers used to have different subdomains. It's reasonable to assume that by the time of the most recent cock-up (about a year ago) and the modernization of /f/'s software that it's been ported to something more collective. If it hasn't, though, and is still separate from the rest of the website, that makes /f/ very vulnerable for last-ditch deletion motions. Actual bandwidth usage notwithstanding. And if we're being cynical, nipmoot is just simply warming up our ass-wallets for whatever shekel-extracting new ad policy he has in stores for us. Never trust a gook. >># >downsizing all uploads back to 2MB or whatever it was a few years ago The most reasonable solution. That, and maybe curbing/deleting the in-site archives. Advocating for board deletion is just plain retarded. It wouldn't even work, users don't simply disappear when you delete a board. The idiots over at /qa/ really need to shut the fuck up already and fill their mouths with some bleach instead.
>> [_] Anon 3157054 >># >Advocating for board deletion is just plain retarded. It wouldn't even work, users don't simply disappear when you delete a board. 1. Collect IPs of all users posting on board X for a month 2. Delete X 3. Ban all collected IPs 4. ??? 5. Profit
>> [_] Anon 3157060 Good things never last, huh.
>> [_] Anon 3157061 >># Well maybe in the software the options field probably sends off to a function that checks the possible commands on a different server, while the updating of the email field is something that needed to be done manually.

The idiots over at /qa/ really need to shut the fuck up already and fill their mouths with some bleach instead. It would slow traffic, though. For instance, say they delete /trash/. Most of that content has nowhere else to go. Some can go to /b/ and some can go elsewhere, but most won't. Or say they get rid of /wsg/. They'd move to /gif/, and eventually I think they'd reach an equilibrium, where the board has a split of SFW and NSFW content, but still less overall content than when both boards existed. I dont' want to get rid of these boards, just devil's advocating.
