So, I was casually browsing GBAtemp, and suddenly this pops up:
upload_2017-10-6_13-29-3.png


What We Know
This error only appears on the normal desktop version of Chrome.
This happens on Windows, Linux, and Mac
All of FileTrip is blocked because of "phishing"
FileTrip results are omitted from Google search, but not other search engines
GBAtemp.net only gets this warning on specific posts, such as the "Starfox 2 already dumped, and it sucks" thread.

Got this on Firefox. I went ahead and tried to download something (NTR Debugger). It started the download but then it paused it and gave me a warning saying I should stop because the file might harm my computer...

I'm now getting this error on the damn thread, and after using "I understand the risks" I notice that HTTPS has been disabled on the page. There has to be something getting put on random pages that's dodgy

after looking into it more, it seems as though s5.filetrip.net's domain is down, as it has expired. This could be the reason why: sometimes it's being called and since it no longer exists, it acts as though it's a security error, and stops the page from loading. That's my speculation atleast.

Either my computer hates me or I am missing something
Would kindly send me/post the link so I can investigate?

even clicking on your link gives a security alert. Just fyi
I am rather concerned that I am not experiencing this issue on any of my browsers. I will contact Costello on this issue.

No worries. If need be, I can screen shot it. However, every single time, in order to bypass it, https gets disabled, so its possibly something to do with certs.

Thanks, but I can tell people are having an issue. It's just hard to troubleshoot an issue that isn't happening to me.
I forwarded this along to Costello, hopefully he can replicate this issue and properly fix it

To those wondering, I am running Solus Linux, I tested Firefox, Google Chrome, Chromium, Opera, and Vivaldi. I was unable to replicate this issue and able to download a file on all of them.

We're already well aware ^^

To see it, you have to use Chrome. I've reported it as a false positive to the "report false positives" page :P
Cool! ^_^
Reporting is really the most I can do and seeing only a reporter posting worried me. It's not to undermine her, it's just worrisome that the staff hasn't seen this. I know sometimes these kinds of threads can slide under the raider.
I tried every single browser installed on my laptop, I can't get this to happen to me.

I was not aware of this and have never run into such pages myself.
But I know how to fix it- at least I think I do. It's going to take time though because it requires me to request a review from google

as for why we have been completely removed from the search index? I guess they don't like file sharing sites... or maybe solving those problems will restore us into the index, idk...

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    Nor clothes 🤮 . Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them. :D

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
