The Kiwi Farms was targeted with a historic DDoS attack last week. Confirmed reports of 2.8Tbps on an individual provider, topping 4.8Tbps when known volumes are added together, and possibly up to 8Tbps if the attacker is believed. This is the third of fourth largest recorded.

Haven't fucked with it, but I'll give it a look. All of the ancillary service shit like alerts and even opening the "Like" menu takes forever when kiwiflare is on a rip- where my pseudoscience "must be DDoS" musings came from.
Site was running fine for me up until about two hours ago when I got a normal-seeming KiwiFlare challenge and since then it's sluggish af. Right now links to boards and threads take 30-40 seconds to open.
ETA: it's more responsive now. I restarted my browser, don't know if that fixed it.
The main page seems use more memory the longer the tab remains open. Starts off at about 70MB and after a few hours its using over 1GB.
Not a big deal since viewing threads doesn't have this problem. Using .st
Edit: I checked my long-running Sneedchat tab, but it didn't have a memory leak. Might be because of the inherent superiority of the Firefox-based browser I'm using.
Kiwiflare is reloading nearly every page for me. Even loading a page and then immediately rating a post can take multiple attempts. I'm using ungoogled chromium on manjaro with various privacy extensions active.

Starting this morning (around 5AM US Pacific Time) I started getting an error reading 'Page could not be Loaded - The requested page could not be found". This happens the overwhelming majority of the times I try to connect to the Farms and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when I can/can't connect.
Technical deets: Brave browser with a bunch of privacy plugins.
Just started getting kiwiflare bombed constantly with multiple refreshes needed to make any page load the corrected formatting (it still won't). Trusty Ctrl F5 doesn't fix it, so I'm assuming it's another case of "it's a family themed holiday so the troons estranged from their folks feel extra super sad bad, so they take it out on jersh again"
Seems to be working fine for the most part, but I'll get stuck in infinite Kiwiflare loops on occasion and kiwiflare seems to be activating every other page (with random periods where it will activate every single page instead) regardless. CSS formatting will also break occasionally and chat has been completely fucked for a bit now.
