It's easy enough to get the server date and time, precise to 1 second. No need to build some fancy API on the server, just use the Date header.

If the request fails, you could either try again, or just give up and use the local time.
 
I keep getting parsing issues when uploading images. The weird thing is that some images will upload just fine while others absolutely refuse to, and it doesn’t seem related to image type. I swear to god 90% of the images that refuse to upload are 4chan greentexts, but I don’t know what that’d have to do with it.

Edit: I’ve been able to post some of the images via Tor but clearnet is still a no go

The way Clearnet and Tor work are completely different. Tor uses haproxy to proxy the backend. Clearnet uses nginx. I have tried very hard for a very long time to get image uploads through the nginx-nginx reverse proxy to work and they don't.

Our backend is on a very unstable network behind a very old router and we enjoy a 3%~40% packetloss at any given time. That's probably why. I've changed every imaginable setting over, and over, and over again and I have no idea why it does not work.

This is the actual config. I've tried fixing this for over a year. I'm sick of looking at it. I promise you I have tried every imaginable permutation of every config option seen below and then some. Stop bothering me unless you know what you're talking about.

BACKEND (TOR+CN)
Code: 
    location = /attachments/upload {
        client_body_timeout 600s;
        client_body_temp_path /tmp;
        fastcgi_read_timeout 600s;
        fastcgi_buffering on;
        fastcgi_buffers 128 128k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 128k;
        fastcgi_request_buffering on; #leave this on you fucking moron
        fastcgi_max_temp_file_size 300m;
    }

MIDDLE (CN ONLY)
Code: 
    location = /attachments/upload {
        proxy_cache off;
        proxy_buffering on;
        proxy_request_buffering on;
        proxy_buffer_size 128k;
        proxy_buffers 128 128k;
        proxy_send_timeout 600s;
        client_max_body_size 0;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        client_body_timeout 600s;
        send_timeout 600s;
    }

I've had no issues uploading since you fixed it.

Though I do not post in .mov or .mp3. I always convert to something that takes up less space for those.

Cached error page, gives you no access to the other user's profile, mentioned in the OP.

If you open an attachment and see another user's avatar, this is not a bug. This is not a security issue. Attachments get cached. If the attachment is an error, the error gets changed. If the error is generated by another user, that user's avatar gets cached. You do not get signed in as that user. You cannot act as that user. This issue existed with Cloudflare and has been around for 10 years.

Invidious videos are failing to ever load for me; if I click on one it'll spinny circle for a couple seconds, then get the message "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." This is on clearnet, kiwifarms.st. uBlock is claiming that it's not blocking anything and I don't have any other weird blocky things running that should be getting in the way.

Apparently when a comment gets moved, the forum eats embeds. They just show up as links to dead pages after a bit.

Invidious links are saying: "embed.kiwifarms.st didn’t send any data."

I'm on Brave btw

I believe clear net too, (phone and crome on laptop). I didn't report it though because the links still link.
 
Couple questions. When posting a poll do you separate responses in the box provided with commas?

Also in some threads there are random posts which I can't quote. Is this normal?
