KiwiFlare

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Oh it will quit. But first it will swap like crazy and lag the whole OS.
I think the garbage collector isn't fast enough to unload the images because they are all still being loaded. If they are cached they load quickly and the tab's memory heap explodes.
After a while (if the OS doesn't kill the process first) it will kick in and unload stuff. You can see that when images vanish while scrolling or parts of the page are blank.
 
I think I might have fixed it.
@Null: Can you add
HTML:
<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" />
to the img tags of the images in chat? That should fix it and make it a ton faster to load.

Seems to work so far. I edited those two templates like this:
HTML:
<template id="tmp-chat-message">
    [...]
    <img class="avatar" decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-hidden="true" src="" alt="">

<template id="tmp-chat-user">
    [...]
    <img class="avatar" decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-hidden="true" src="" alt="">

Trying being phoneposting scum for the first time in a while, and so far it works as well as on desktop, and again, much faster than I can ever remember the site being in the past.
At least on my ends, I need to do a couple of refreshes after loading a page to make reactions, posting, and some other stuff, actually 'initialize' and work (they're handled by separate sub-domains or something? IDK, this shit is mostly witchcraft to me).
The only suggestion I can come up with is if that could be automated to be carried out in one go somehow, but it's a very small price to pay to protect the site and keep it running, so I don't mind it much.

Provide someone with DDoS protection, and his website is safe until the troonsquad rallies to cancel him, but teach a man to build his own DDoS protection, and his website is safe for a lifetime.

Soyjak.party has been getting DDOSed and had to begin using Cloudflare to counter it, maybe get in contact with the owner when you begin trying to get customers for it?
 
I've made an update to KiwiFlare and I am hoping that sessions are now more stable. If you encounter challenge cycles, please let me know.

If you are reporting an issue, I need as much detail as possible, and at least the following:
  • What country is your endpoint? This means where you're connecting from - either domestic IP or VPN.
  • How many Kiwi Farms tabs do you have open when this occurs?
  • Do you have any extensions that could potentially block cookies?
  • Does the browser infinitely re-challenge you without loading the site, or is it loading the site once between challenges?

KiwiFlare thing seems to be faster since you did whatever you did, I barely had time to read it before it was done, something about a Cryptojewish challenge, which I assume means its measuring the size of the users nose somehow.
Whatever it is you should set up a Clownflare alternative and market it if you can withouy being sued, seems like you should be able to profit from all this hard work
 
Getting the ol' SneedFlare page on almost every page load. IDK if this is DDoS mitigation or whatever. It's not THAT intrustive. But AFAICS, this isn't intended behaviour either.

Post thread-move edit with technical deets: I'm from BC, Canada, and browsing on desktop.

On both a VPN to the Netherlands and a US connection, using the Brave browser on mobile iOS just results in an endless loop of it succeeding the challenge and then redirecting to the same challenge. It’s fine on Chrome and Safari.

I've added a 3 second delay in hopes that will enable it to work correctly in cases it has not before.

How many Kiwi Farms tabs do you have open when it does this?
 
Do you have browser extensions that are privacy oriented and could be prohibiting cookies from being set?

Does the page infinitely re-challenge you or does it do it just on every request?
I don’t have privacy extensions, Brave Shields have been turned off on this site. It infinitely re-challenges, it’s an endless feedback loop.
 
I’m connected with no VPN, end point is USA. I can’t load notifications or my profile, I get an “Oops, an error has occurred”.

I’m not using any extensions, just one tab.
 
It seems like I'm getting a maximum of 2 KiwiFlare screens now (tried two times using two different Netherlands VPNs, fresh incognito window, non-mobile Chrome). That's a major improvement on the several I used to get at the beginning of most sessions.

I have nothing special beyond uBlock, which is disabled. Ungoogled-Chromium does some odd stuff occasionally, though. No cookies blocked in the cookie dialog.

Not even on every request. It was on like every other request. Hasn't recurred since having 2 tabs open(?) and posting about this issue.
 
Still getting kiwiflare tests every page load on mobile (ios, safari & firefox), australia vpn, no extensions, one tab. As people before me have reported though, kiwiflare is much faster than it was before.
