It seems one can no longer connect to KF (.st, .jp) via clearnet (residential network; got no mobile connection to test this with) from Moscow. Roskomnadzor has been ramping up blocking of various services since 2022, so maybe it's just time.

Firefox / Falkon: domains time out

Looks like the domain itself is not blocked, but CDN is. They've been fucking with CDNs for quite some time lately.

Isn't TTD (Total Tunneling Death) for mobile traffic only? That's what I've heard anyway. Regardless, Amnezia seems to work fine so far, as well as Tailscale and ZeroTier - i'm using them right now, they work perfectly fine. And, when all else fails, give Zapret2 a spin - no tunneling there.

I have discovered what I think is the source of a very painful and intermittent bug where pages would pretend to load forever before failing. If you experience this issue let me know.

It goes like this: You are browsing the site, everything's great, you click a link. Then you wait. And you wait. Nothing happens. The page doesn't change at all, it doesn't start loading and break, it just never moves off that page. You close the tab, you reopen it, doesn't fix it. After about a minute it starts working again like nothing happened.

I occasionally get that issue, however it's resolved by switching to a different VPN server, which is why I didn't report it before. I assume that's a completely different issue, but the symptoms are identical so IDK, reporting as ordered.

The VPN switch always worked for me, and I had assumed it was my VPN for that reason. The actual issue is networking level with specific servers and IPv6, which is why the switch fixes it.

In Firefox, current Nightly build, I clicked on AMHOLIO's pfp and got this:

Google Chrome had no such issues. After downloading the pfp, I opened it in IrfanView, and got a message that it is a JPEG file with incorrect extension. That must be why FF gets confused.

Perhaps the forum software can be changed in such a way it will rename files according to their actual format/header contents instead of whatever the uploader puts as extension?

It's the AVIF pic - looks like all the new avatars get automatically converted to AVIF server-side. It's just that their Content-Type is set as text/plain when they get delivered.

Yep, that's most likely what causes the issue. Just opening the picture in a new tab, then trying to save that "page" results in the file save dialog treating it as a text file—because of the Content-Type definition.

Sorry I tried to add an example link there but it looks like it truncated automatically.

After navigating a bit more I think it is page, not thread, specific. For this thread, I can visit page 675 no issue. If I go to 676 I get the error. Similar deal with the Community Happenings thread - some pages load okay, some don’t.

I am also having the same issue exclusively on mobile while browsing unregistered. For me, I have issues with the latest page of community happenings, page 11,712 of the rekeita thread, and page 2,691 of the bossmanjack thread. It works on desktop but not on safari. I have tried a bunch of other threads on mobile and they load perfectly fine, no issues.

Ok it just happened to me when refreshing this page and this page, while other pages (front page and this) refreshed just fine. I haven't cycled my VPN yet.
