Feedback Technical Grievances

I tried to insert video attachment into two posts, one in virtual YouTubers and one in Nick Rekieta's.
This it how it shows. There is no insert link. I have waited for a bit, used both .st and .net. If I just post the reply as is, the attachments won't show up at the bottom, what do?

Unless you DM me what is specifically your bookmarked URL I can't diagnose this.

I noticed this too but didn't bother posting because it's not a big deal but the bookmarks page is using the .net domain for all links irrespective of what domain you are using. That is, the links all point to the correct posts, just always on the .net domain.

Easy workaround for anyone not on .net is to copy and paste the link and replace the domain with the one you've logged in on.
 
So, this is a minor issue, but is there a reason why the download automatically fails if I am trying to download media from Kiwi Farms such as uploaded videos or images? I am trying to save the YWNBAW song by Foundring that somebody uploaded as YouTube deleted it, but it fails.

I am using Firefox on Android. I had no problem with this in the past but I do not know what is causing the problem.
 
I dunno about downloads but I changed something with nginx and just confirmed video uploads should be working with clearnet and tor.
 
I'm still getting an error when uploading videos on clearnet as of a few minutes ago. It's irritating because I have to wait until it gets to 100% and then: "Something went wrong. Please try again or contact the administrator." After a dozen or so intermittent attempts since last night, I went to Tor and it uploaded on the first try.

I've Ctrl+F5'd, reset cookies, re-encoded the video so it was only ~55MB instead of ~110MB. Nothing helped.

I also use Orbot on Android.
I also have this issue, tested a few onion sites and only this one fails to load.

I wouls say that your best bet is to wait. Tor gets attacked all the time and this has happened before. I am able to connect though, so the slow speed is probably just the usual intermittent Tor shittyness.

Or maybe the server's proxy is messed up, but I know nothing about how it is set up.

If you are using a bridge, try without, or try a different set. Sonetimes the bridge could be to blame. Also hit "refresh" instead of turning it off and on.


In addition, the Tor mobile site on firefox still won't show profile pictures, show videos, or embed images.

After I made that post, I couldn't get on until just now (though the last time I tried was this afternoon).

Restarted phone, hopefully it works now.

But I also had forgot the most recent clearlink address and didn't know .net was up, so I can ditch Tor and Orbot as long as that's the sitch.

I tried uploading a video (141MB). It went pretty slow but immediately after 100% was reached I get this error. Yes, CTRL-F5 was used.

Compress it, you can get away with reducing down to 40% original file size. The site always struggles with files this size. I had to do the same with a lot of other archiving.

Okay, I don't know then, and I'm tired of fucking with it. Sorry.

Same as above...

From my experience of archiving there seems to be a link between error probability and file size. Anything above 50mb struggles, and it's often a flip of the coin if it'll be successful or not. I don't know if Kiwiflare or the website has a timeout for incoming connections, but it might be that the sheer length of upload time may mean that whatever connection to the site is used to upload the content might be cut off. I've noticed that when uploading my network will show the expected upload speed for a file and then drop. I have also noticed that when this happens, refreshing the page (clicking in to another part of the website) will prompt kiwiflare again.

Another thing that crossed my mind based on previous experience is that it's perhaps a bottleneck in the actual ability for the site's hardware to handle that much data being uploaded and downloaded at once. I don't know the exact specifics, but could it be the processors/RAID set up is struggling with the volume of data due to hardware limitations?

A working example:

When uploading the Daniel Larson footage, at 60% (80-150mb data) they were failing but when compressed further down to <50mb they were uploading with limited issues.

🤷‍♂️

I upload two files about the same size yesterday. Much faster upload, even the emojis are loading slowly today.
