That would involve tracking solve times over a large enough data set. If I'm going to do that I might as well reduce difficulty to 2^16 (factor of 16 times easier) and then have them solve it 16 times. it is effectively the same thing, though it would benefit multiple cores and potentially attackers.

This sounds like it would work well for creating a progress bar. IIUC, there are ways to prevent parallelization. One would be to provide the next challenge only after the previous one is solved, but that involves back-and-forth. Another would be that the solution is an input to the next challenge. E.g., if the challenges are to find a, b, then the browser is provided hash(a), hash(b) xor a. I don't think there's a way to beat that with multiple cores.

Probally late but The user profiles are all fucked up on mobile

there is no progress. your computer has to make a guess it has a probability of a 1/2^20 shot of making. It will continue to guess until it lands. Asking for progress on this is effectively asking for progress on BossmanJack successfully winning roulette twenty times in a row.

Are the flashing dots indicating that is still doing the guesses or does that even happen if it is bugging out or stuck?

You can still make a somewhat useful progress bar though. Do (guesses)*(chance of correct answer), because no one will ever be disappointed by it finishing earlier than "expected". If the small chance of being so unlucky that someone doesn't land a 1/2^20 in 2^20 tries still bothers you, you can mess with the percentage and make 100% impossible to reach, by displaying (guesses)/(guesses + 1/(constant * chance)). This will keep the bar moving but start slowing down when you get worse luck than expected - for example, with constant=4 succeeding only on 2^20th try will only fill up 80% of the bar. There's also probably some statistics magic you can do to get better estimates of "amount of tries 99% will be done within" but I don't know statistics.

brotha are you really testing in prod

we gotta get you those 600 donors so you can buy a test environment lmao

The weird issue I mentioned 2X this week, dating back to happening for the greater part of this year, hasn’t happened once in a week at least, which is nice. The weird < log in/ kiwi flare retarding/ appearing logged out but still being logged in/ checked via f5 > is not happening now,

The issue of appearing logged out after a KiwiFlare but being logged in still persists. It’s probably not a weird credentials grab, but it still persists. Still just have to refresh to see I’m logged in.
 
Just because its fun to plan:
- If I made a progress bar for Kiwiflare I would do it like this:
- Every solve, save the solve time to browser's local storage
- When they get redirected to the real kiwifarms, check how many solves they have
- If they have 10 solves, send this to the API and purge their local storage (and make the API have a once per day rate limit to avoid DDOS or anything)
- This would very efficiently save solve times and any other data you wanted to collect about users.
 
every time i press a number key (like switching windows with win + 1) the page goes to the corresponding page on the menu bar. this has been brought up numerous times as it appears to autoselect the first "home" option in the menu bar regardless of what page i'm on and it's making me very upset.

You talking about the Num Pad keys or the number row above the letters? This is likely the built-in Xenforo shortcuts.
 
The funny site where I am allowed to say the nigger word ('nigger') does not want me to use the word 'bang' in the title line. Not sure if this is a filter where there shouldn't be one or if that's really considered an offensive term here.

the word 'ban' is not permitted in user titles because people would deliberately set it to that to cause problems.
 
I'm trying to set a new title, but I am told I need to give an invitation code before it can save. New avatars are automatically saved so that isn't an issue, but now I have a nonsensical avatar-title combo.

Am I missing something here?
