Feedback Technical Grievances

Apparently it has been determined that I am the robot when attempting to access kiwifarms.ru, as shown

I get this from DDoS-Guard and it doesn't go anywhere or do anything, I'm on Brave, tried it without shields and with to no effect. It just isn't doing anything that I can detect, next step is to use a different browser

E: both chrome and Edge did the same thing, it just hangs with no movement or attempt to do anything that I can detect :|

Second E: clearing cache and content from the .ru domain seemed to fix the issue? lol russia
Having the same issue. Not sure if it's influenced by me opening multiple links on the site at once or not, but once it thinks I'm a robot refreshing any tab shows this page. Clearing cache does technically work, but it's inconvenient with how much this is happening.
 
It seems Malwarebytes is back to blocking the site. It's most likely not because of the .ru since the site was fine on the first day.

Anyway, as of yesterday afternoon (GMT+1) I had to manually add an exception for Kiwifarms.ru.
 
Had to download the Tor Browser because for whatever fuckin' reason, Onion Links on Brave don't allow me to log on. This was the only way I was able to access the site in its current state. I'm sure it will be sorted out in due time, when Null has more time to iron out the DDOS situation.

Is the ability to edit old posts broken? I can edit new ones but not older posts.
This is because KF is an archival site. It makes no sense for a post to be edited beyond a certain age when the site's interest is preserving events as they happen.
 
The .ru site appears to be down.

edit: this is different from the secure connection error message that was previously mentioned. Brave says "kiwifarms.ru’s DNS address could not be found." for https://kiwifarms.ru, and going to http://kiwifarms.ru brings up this error page:

We lost .ru, it's in the official statement.

Shit's gonna get rough. More than it's been for the past few days. Null, if you're reading this, thank you for keeping the tor site alive. Insane how quick that these guys dropped after cloudflare when they aren't even hosting from the same country.
 
So far, phoneposting with Tor has been okay even with the slower speed, but it opens a different window when I try to tap-hold to open the reaction menu. I SNEED MY STICKERS DAMMIT.
I had the same issue with tor browser on android. Using orbot in proxy mode with brave seems to work alright.
 
The site's been inaccessible for me through Tor for the past 6 or so hours. Kept giving an onionsite error which I unfortunately did not screencap, anyone else getting that?

Try to find a new circuit or restart the browser whenever this error happens. Sometimes you gotta insist until you find a good node.
 
Obviously the color is bread. :biggrin:

This is annoying as we have to essentially log in twice. But it's a small price to pay for being able to use the Farms at all.
Three or more times, if it's one of the dumb ones. I got one earlier where the answer was "3," but I wrote "three" instead, because it didn't have anything about the answer needing to be a numeral. Then I got one that asked what Richard's name was, so I wrote "Lowtax," but that was wrong.
 
Page jump buttons are hardly visible on dark themes. Add this to extra.less:

CSS:
    .menu--pageJump button.inputNumber-button::before {
        color: #fff;
    }
 
Someone on poast mentioned VPNing through a HK/Singapore/Japan location if you had trouble reaching the site, and that seemed to work for me for those that don't want to wait for DNS resolving or stability is too jank without VPN.

If your Brave Ads starts acting up when connected to VPN like mine, you can also enable split tunneling somewhere in your VPN settings and have KF in a separate browser only going through the VPN and have the rest through regular Internet.
 
Is anyone else intermittently getting redirected to the Wikipedia landing page when trying to load the site on the clearnet? Could be a DNS issue or possibly just something retarded with Brave. Retrying the dot top domain from the URL bar loads KF or the DDOS mitigation error page every time so I dunno.

Also of course thank you nullykins. I hope you are OK and can take some comfort in the sheer amount of butthurt you've caused.
 
Images sometimes don't load on chat. It looks much nicer with the following CSS:
Code:
.chat-message .avatar {
  background-color: #999;
}
This ensures that profile pics default to an even gray if not loaded, instead of just being invisible.
