Published: March 9, 2026 by lucid
Cyberix started as a private website for a small group of people. We had some game servers and not much else. At some point, staying a closed clique stopped being interesting, and we decided to open the site to the public. The forum launched publicly on June 7th, 2025. The reasoning...

Our actual constraint, now that we are taking steps toward defeating a common Internet enemy,...
Getting a Njalla domain off of Spamhaus's lists
Published: March 5, 2026 by (T_T☓)
cy-x.net was put on Spamhaus's DBL blocklist back in September-October 2025. We wanted to ignore Spamhaus as a "fuck you, let me have my anonymity" move, but it turns out that it's incredibly difficult to pull off when people are emailing you from addresses belonging to the email cartels and...
I saw this video in my recommendations, but I didn't click on it because I had a feeling it would be fairly lame with a focus on aesthetics over content.
Published: February 23, 2026 by paintrain
I decided to just put it on just out of curiosity. Lo and behold, that is all it really has to offer. Showcasing cool-looking websites that are not connected to AI or corporations is a good move, but once you go past that these are simple novelties. Something you would...

Solving CP and spam in anonymous discussion boards
Published: February 15, 2026 by admin
We asked 2 questions: >1. How do we stop spam without JavaScript and adding friction to the anonymous posting process >2. How do we stop CP spam without relying on an external dependency (like a big corporation's API)? I believe I have conquered the top problems that have plagued anonymous discussion boards since...
The possible threats posed by individualism to cy-x
Published: February 10, 2026 by Anon #55710
Please do not encourage or participate in avatarfaggotry and personalityfaggotry. In addition to it being annoying, it defeats the purpose of anonymity. I don't mean the opsec kind of anonymity. Instead, I think it is important for casual online communication to be impersonal and anonymous on both sides. This means...

In the past few years when I went further into the net, I discovered many people have a deep fascination with esotericism. I must admit, I was young and impressionable not very long ago, and found it all very new, exciting and interesting. Specifically, I was interested in 'astral projection',...
The Stock Market
Published: October 9, 2025 by LostintheCycle
A lot of young people are into stocks, trading, all that junk. My belief is these people are effectively playing a complex gambling game. There is an extra dimension to stocks that gambling lacks, which is it's perception. It is socially acceptable, and moreover it has an intellectual veneer. Success...
