Giko Firewall blacklist discussion

2025-05-24T07:46:39+00:00

I use shared ipv4, assigned by ISP & have no control of it. It does being shared across many hundreds of other ISP customers. I don't know how this work, maybe even NAT.
Since free ipv4 addresses ended many years ago, and ipv6 is not implemented/given here.
I don't have money to buy clean private ip or vpn.

Unban my ip *.*.*.50 I don't have other ip & can't cchange it,
sadly I can't join your game server play.gokipoi.com

あなたのIPは拒否されました。TorやVPNを使わないでください。
Your IP was rejected. Please do not use Tor or VPNs.
https://www.abuseipdb.com/check/*.*.*.50

What's the logic of this?
Whole world is on Tor, NordVPN, you freely discussed their usage inside gikopoi chat room.
I'm not using them, but it should be legal to use them. Every 3rd youtuber is promoting VPN.
In many countries (china, russia, venezuela, cuba, iran, syria, libiya, africa ... etc ) it is impossible to browse internet without vpn. Banning Tor in anonymous imageboard game? Astonishing non-sence level of hypocrisy.

Those sort of ip bans, making the web worse & gatekept, same stuff CF, js hCaptcha, or Anubis does does but with exception without js.

Are you afraid of bots? But you do have idle bots in giko.
I neven used a bot, neither spam.

Quickfix: whitelist subnets. But I don't know subnets ranges of my isp.

fix: pohon nonjs captcha should work fine for gikopoi.
or you could come up & invent another new type of nonjs captcha.
some folks made anime or math captcha.
optional simple account creation (without email) is fine too, since it is sort of variation of captcha.

Never ban IPv4, today they are all shared (or will be eventially soon), and behind 1 ip there could be thousands of users.

tripex tripcode finding software

2025-01-05T00:04:23+00:00

releasing version 1.0 of my tripcode finding program, 'tripex'

compile the program as follows:
gcc tripex.c -o tripex -O3 -lcrypt

example #1; find tripcodes containing 'nice' (case insensitive):
./tripex -n $(nproc) -i nice

example #2; find tripcodes starting with either 'giko' or 'mona':
./tripex -n $(nproc) ^giko ^mona

example #3; find fully lowercase tripcodes with quads:
./tripex -s -n $(nproc) "^[a-z]*$" "$.$\1\{3,\}"

untested on anything but GNU/Linux with glibc, but it would probably work on FreeBSD too.
don't trust any update posts unless they have my tripcode or you can audit them yourself!

Proprosal: EUR currency of gikopoi

2025-04-07T21:00:00+00:00

There are so many currencies we could call baseline, most notably:
- yen -- but only appeals to Japanese
- usd -- but Trump is crazy and Americans are minority
- eur -- basically a dollar*

I think "EUR" should be our baseline on Gikopoi because people with
odd currencies can understand EUR pretty well, and it also sends a
message to Americans that they are not the boss. Actually I would
rather use EUR than USD even if I lost money.

Zzazz missing since January 2nd

2025-04-04T20:26:25+00:00

It's been 3 months since our hero has last logged on. He was last
witnessed throwing down handfuls of benzodiazepines and chugging vodka
on stream. His current status is unknown, likely among the angels.

I propose we honor our missing hero by making the 2nd of every month
a day we live a little bit more like zzazz, in his honor, whether we
engage in drinking contests, shirtless streams, smoke narcotics on
camera, sing and play music live, netplay old games, or otherwise
attempt to emulate our fallen hero

Goroshek has also deceased. RIP little rat.

gikopoi.py

2024-01-15T16:25:28+00:00

There is now a terrible Gikopoi bot I've written based on code from
kafli: you can invoke it with the !help command in the bar.

It has a blackjack and bank plugin.
You can win REAL gikocoins and send them to your friends!

I'm planning to add a !memo function (send a message to someone
offline or AFK and the bot sends them your message when they return)
and also !random / !addquote functions (get or add gikopoi quotes).

What else do you think would be useful? I was thinking the bot could
share youtube metadata when a youtube link is shared, e.g. the title
of the video and its duration. The possibilities are endless...

Habbo Hotel Meeting 2025

2025-04-17T13:58:02+00:00

I'd like the members of gikopoi.com
to visit Habbo Hotel for Easter.
What do you say?

What to do with "burnt" gikocoins?

2025-02-08T19:23:00+00:00

Akai, our chair of economic music, is working on a way to address the
inflation issue of gikopoi -- finding a way to consume coins
permanently for a use in a different sort of game that takes into mind
principles learned from systems of "progressive taxation"

From a different angle, it cannot be denied that if coins lost by
gambling ended up in a special wallet, giko.py would probably have more
coins than all other users combined.

If coins lost gambling ended up in a special account, what would be
interesting ways to make use of these coins?

Maybe each week people with a balance of at least X gikocoins could vote
for a user to receive a percent of the "pot", eg 5%

Maybe each week, people could buy lottery tickets for a chance to win
some random percentage of the pot, eg between 3% and 50% -- akin to the
US "powerball" system or something like "keno"

The most creative and fun answer will be the one implemented.

The Giko Backgammon Tournament

2025-03-23T18:36:18+00:00

Just a fun idea I had. We should collect a list of interested parties
for an April tournament, best of 10 (permitting use of doubling cube)
per match, maybe with a $5 buy-in per person

(winner gets 90% of funds, 10% of money goes toward paying VPS bill)

Playing for nothing is also fine but $5 feels like enough to stake
that the games would be a little more interesting but nothing to get
upset over.

Best of 10 may sound like a lot but incorporating the doubling cube,
1 game becomes 2 becomes 4 becomes 8 potentially very quickly... playing
with a small number of games per "match" gives RNG an advantage over
skill, which is something to be avoided

care about pohon bbs moar please ;_;

2024-07-09T23:25:55+00:00

i actually really like the board software and style sheets. it would
be nice if the bbs had more love like jspoi gets. this board is
deserving of some more effort and love infused into it by gikopoi.com
humans. please take time to talk here o _ o`

in unrelated news, i am considering changing pseudonyms. some uneasy
feeling i get whenever i keep a pseudonym for too long and it might
be more than just a symbol.

gikopoipoi.net forthcomingness

2025-03-21T11:17:39+00:00

Doesn't it seem kind of disingenous for gikopoi.com to not have even a little
explanatory sentence or something somewhere explaining it actually is,
in relation to gikopoipoi.net? An alternative instance with some little
preference-based mods? And then going as far as calling it "kidpoi", it's like
you forked off of it against your free will or something. Rubs me the wrong way.

Disable Gikopoi Firewall?

2024-09-13T15:36:14+00:00

Should I disable the Gikopoi firewall that keeps out (primarily) Tor
users? A lot of people have complained about this over the years;
largely I've felt that if people want to use Gikopoi, there should be
no problem in using their normal IP address and that there is no good
reason for using Tor -- no countries block gikopoi.com and information
is already encrypted via HTTPS if people are concerned about roommates
or government spying on them.

However, at the same time I acknowledge that there may be interesting
(yet mentally ill) people who will only use Tor or whatever sketchy
VPNs the firewall blocks that are not necessarily pedophiles/spammers.

If this experiment goes wrong, it only takes 2 seconds to turn the
firewall back on. So, I open this question up to the audience.

The Giko Gathering 2025

2024-09-02T17:50:38+00:00

hotaru has proposed a Giko Gathering 2025 in Turkey.

Pros:
- Turkey is pretty cheap
- Accessible to most Euro bros
- Accessible to Indonesians
- Hotaru can probably score us weed
