Feedback Technical Grievances

Downloads are fucking broken. Have been since the 'upgrade'. Videos specifically, but only some of them. The file half downloads, creates a complete file with an extension but that video can't be played.
It's not a size issue (bigger files can download just fine whereas smaller ones fuck up). It's not a free space on the device problem.
I blame faggoty Linux and its tranny devs.

I've had a similar issue with videos. It seems trying again later worked for me.
 
I wrote this bash script yesterday that takes every mp4 file in a directory and makes it smaller, to greatly speed up uploading, also it should take up less space. It's helped me out since I've started using it quite a bit. Before things either failed or they were painfully slow to upload, to the point where it made me not even want to bother.

I figured I would throw it here, for anyone that runs into similar issues that I have with uploading videos.

Bash: 
#!/bin/sh

for f in *.mp4; do
  ffmpeg -i "$f" -vf scale=-1:720 -c:v libx264 -crf 28 s-"$f"
done

you can get rid of the part that has "*.mp4" if you want to use it with other formats, and just leave "*". The file it outputs is the same file with an "s-" in front (for small), you can change that if you want. I had it output a modified filename to avoid overwriting the original file. you could also probably force it to overwrite the original file if you don't care about the risks.

The way I would advise using it is putting all the videos you plan to upload in a folder/directory move into that directory. run the script, and let ffmpeg do it's thing. then you should be good to go.
 
A search related issue: when searching for something, URLs that contain that word will not show up in results.

My exact issue was this: I was searching for something called "gamedate" (a website for organizing multiplayer events in niche/dead games). Someone had already posted about the website in a thead in the Games forum, but I could not find that post in the search results. (Instead I accidentally stumbled upon it in some other way)

This is the exact post. Searching for the website name does not list this post in the results.
Morrowind: GOTY Edition

Post in thread 'Abandoned Multiplayer Game Communities'

Kind of a dead thread, but someone just started a cool site that you can use to put together and organize dead games.

Can't attach video files (Tor)
Upload completes, but no thumbnail is shown and no Insert option is available, plus it doesn't actually get attached
EDIT: Finally got it done after 45 mins of constant trying

I just got stuck in a loop with tartarus out of nowhere. Didn't change anything on my end, but it just happened after clicking something. It would verify, then start over again.

I managed to click allow third party cookies on the site in between on of the cycles (it would close it every time tartarus started over), and that fixed the issue. But up until now it worked fine without that enabled.

Edit: the browser is brave on mobile. Using mullvad vpn. If that matters.
 
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Incredibly trivial grievance ahead. Lowest possible priority. Fortunately, the proposed fix, if I understand the logic correctly, is as trivial, and might slightly reduce overall code complexity.

When the list of people who gave a sticker gets truncated, presently, it says "and 1 other person". As seen below.

2026-02-25-104947_595x264_scrot.png

The purpose of this is to provide brevity in the case where there are like 420 of the same sticker to display.

2026-02-25-105001_492x477_scrot.png

However, in this particular case, at the time, the technique lengthens the display. So...

Proposal: Simply change the condition for the summary from "over 3 people" to "over 4 people". If you keep the summary logic returning first 3 "and X other people", this will naturally produce the top 3 "and X other people", degrading more nicely in the case of 4. It will even remove the need for the "and 1 other person" logic requiring the singular noun instead of the plural.

I put up a long term sponsor based on it resetting every 3 days, but it has been more than 3 days (put it up tuesday iirc) and it has not reset, my plans tbh are ruined

I believe I am having the same issue, I'm pretty sure today is when my sponsorship should be available again. (I set a reminder on my phone to remind me to set a banner every three days lol)
 
WARNING: TRIVIAL GRIPING AHEAD

Is the quote system supposed to be the way it is when it comes to storage? As far as I can tell, quotes are stored locally, but require an Internet connection to be viewed and posted, which is inconsistent and slightly annoying. If this is by design, or some XenForo idiosyncrasy/idiocy that's not worth the effort of fixing, just rate me dumb or autistic and sneed on, but I am genuinely curious.

I can open two different KF threads side by side on the same browser, turn off the computer's WiFi and my modem for good measure, quote someone in thread A, and see the "Insert quotes..." button pop into existence on Thread B at the same moment the quote button is pressed; but, if I want to see what was just quoted, or post it to a thread, it just won't happen without an Internet connection.
 
This isn't a technical issue, but I don't know where to ask and I don't want to make a new thread. Suppose I have hundreds of DDL links (think Rapidgator or Keep2share) to my 1TB+ movie collection. Is there a way to share them on the forum without giving Josh any DMCA related headaches?
 
Not really a grievance, but did you make it so images automatically get turned into thumbnails? I just uploaded an image and it resized itself before I could do it myself. I turned it into a thumbnail anyway just in case, but it made me curious.
 
I use Brave and NoScript, and I've noticed every time a new page on KF loads (specificially KF), a little box pops up on my browser that says "'NoScript' has started debugging this browser". I've used NoScript here for years (allowing all scripts) and Google searching indicates a possible security issue on Chromium's end.

* Edit: Happens with Google Maps as well.

I would keep that offsite. Use a pastebin type site and archive it, maybe?
 
So did everyone's account privacy options get set to this:

Where the online status is on but the current activity is hidden? For some reason, it seems like everyone has no current activity they are viewing. If you click on any one random user from the currently online members list, you'll see that all of them have "A moment ago" as their current status. Not one has a viewable activity like a thread, profile of a user, DMs, or anything else:

There's no way that this could simply be a coincidence. If you go the https://kiwifarms.st/online/?type=member, you can see that the list of 100 users on a given page all have "A moment ago" as their status:

@Null tagging because this definitely seems like some sort of bug.
 
Not sure if you are doing some maintenance right now or something. But I happened to scroll to the bottom of the page while looking for a thread, and sneedchat is just giving a 502 bad gateway error for me.

edit: woops. technically late and gay I guess.
