Has anyone else experienced this before?

This is certainly the first time I experienced this. Not sure why. I have tried to use different web browsers. ~~Sorry, I am unable to copy the incident ID. Maybe joker_josue can make the incident ID easy to copy.~~

Incident ID:6529d14d3d3e9

It weird that I was able to upload another image after the error

Did this happen just once, or several times with the same file?

This error usually occurs when a new upload is attempted but the browser did not correctly reload the page.
When you click on the "New Upload" button, what you are doing is refreshing the page, it will be the same as clicking "F5". Sometimes this refresh may not occur, generating this error.

What I recommend, if you are doing several uploads in a row, is instead of clicking the "New Upload" button, you will sometimes click "F5", to ensure that the page is actually refreshed.

Yes, especially if I have already uploaded a couple of images prior. I've found the "new upload" button _{(feel free to correct the actual name if you must)} doesn't always work, so what I do instead is go into my profile and then click on the "new upload" button and whatever the fault is has cleared.

Statistics September 2023____________________
In September I had the opportunity to present a new tool, which allows the user to upload an image larger than 2.5MB and it is compressed and sent to the hosting. This tool is still in beta, so errors may occur and many things may change. Server-side compression and PHP features are used, which may not guarantee the final quality of the image. But, I hope it is useful. If you want to test it, just visit: https://zip.talkimg.com/

Here are the numbers for the month and totals:


	Number of uploads in the month: 7.168 _{(+1.436 last month)}
	Total image disk space: 15GB _{(+2 last month)}
	Number of visits to the talkimg.com website in the month: 4.190 _{(+316 last month)} Bandwidth in the month: 337GB _{(+1 last month)}

Thank you for using this service.

I opened a topic, to understand how many users use Tor and have these access difficulties. Thank you for your participation.

How many people use Tor to access TalkImg?

That's true, i forget it happens on Bitcointalk few times. But on other hand, i don't know other security protection which isn't expensive.

Well, Cloudflare has a free Firewall system, I can analyze the possibility of implementing it, and check what the result will be.
As soon as I have news, I'll let you know. Wink

Doesn't this get much worse when Cloudflare goes into "full DDOS protection"? Without Tor, I also get the "Checking connection" page when I click "All". But when Cloudflare is going nuts, I get that page a lot more.

I sometimes browse the forum from clear net as a guest and having "Checking connection" is regular when I am trying to read "All" posts at once. It's a pain but despite crying for even over years, we accepted this phenomenal that we have no other choice. The main man is not going to spend money for us to avoid CF.

Bitcointalk use CloudFlare and i use Tor Browser to visit this forum while rarely asked to solve captcha with 2 exception,
1. Captcha at login page which intentionally added by admin.
2. When i click "All" page.

A dedicated server is indeed quite expensive, but a VPS shouldn't have to be. You're not using much bandwidth and storage, and I assume the CPU usage isn't that much either.

This is the information I am collecting, to make a more viable decision.

Quote from: ?? on ??

How about using CloudFlare (just like what Bitcointalk does) which have option to allow user who use Tor?

Does CloudFlare help you avoid these repetitive captchas, based on your experience with Tor?

I snapped that image on my mobile, tried to upload, it gave me an error: “too big”.
I have a shortcut on my iPhone that reduces the size of an image. I used it, got a new picture, and uploaded it on the website.
Direct website, no VPN, no sorceries.
I copied the link, fail on Bitcointalk.org post preview.
I tried again a few times,(I hit ”new upload”) I got different image codes, so something happened, but all of them failed.

Because this iPhone system must "elude" the script, ending up uploading the larger image.
I was unaware of this situation, and I regret the inconvenience caused.

I have been blocked many times by your script. Actually so many I even created a shortcut so I can automatically reduce the size of a picture and meet forum requirement (and I even remember asking you to develop this function server side).
This is the first time an overload picture smuggled beyond the size checkpoint...

The best solution would be to switch to a dedicated server/VPS. But, to maintain the same characteristics, it would cost twice as much.

Maybe a .onion domain would work for TalkImg? I wouldn't know how to set it up for you though.

I've already been investigating what I could do, and I would practically have to set up a new website that would only work on onion.
What I would have to do was make a clone of the current site, then I would have to try to configure it so that it hosts the images on clear net.
In reality, you would end up having 2 independent services/sites instead of one.

The best solution would be to switch to a dedicated server/VPS. But, to maintain the same characteristics, it would cost twice as much. And as you can imagine, when I launched the project, I didn't want to make large investments, because I had no idea of the impact it would have. In this sense, if the project continues to evolve positively as it has done so far, and really receives support from the community, I will be able to adjust the server.

Perhaps in the future, changes in this regard may arise, if community support continues to be felt, and which could allow for a greater investment.

I don't think this is something that should require a larger investment, but I wouldn't know how to solve it in your case. Loyce.club is now behind AWS' Cloudforce (after the DDOS it received a while ago), and it still works in Tor browser without problems.
My other data is still without any DDOS protection. As theymos wrote:

The Internet is seriously flawed if everyone needs to huddle behind these huge centralized anti-DDoS companies in order to survive...

I tried to reproduce uploading fillippone's large image, but I got another problem:
~~
Can you create a "captcha bypass code" (like the forum)?

Unfortunately, this type of situation occurs in the Tor browser. Since it is a configuration on the server, which I cannot change, due to the type of contract with the hosting company. I apologize for this situation, but at the moment I can't do much more in this regard.

Did you have this image on your device or am I going to look for it on another site?
You use the site directly, or did you use my zip system?

This is a good explanation, but usually talkimg gives you error when you try to upload a too big file.
It is actually quite picky with image size, so I don’t understand why I let me upload this file.
Any reason for this?

That's a good question. I guess something happened with the service, so let's wait for joker_josue's answer. Truly, there's a rule on his service preventing uploading files bigger that 2.5 Mb. Really strange that it let you upload a file of 3 Mb.

You did an incredible feat. I tried, even with administrator powers and I couldn't upload this image! Shocked

Honestly, I've already looked at all the settings and everything is fine, the limit is 2.5MB.

The only explanation I can find is that there was an error in loading the script and it allowed the image to be upload.

There are sites which will reduce image size for you, try a change in format as some are bulky. Even Mspaint might help in this regard but I have another forum that requires 20kb max and I often made this mistake as you cant be sure till its online. Imgur will reduce sizes sometimes not sure where they limit.

Copy and paste can accidentally increase the image size back as its then raw data ? might be part of why.

The other factor is actual display of the size as data itself, some displays are inaccurate and use a flat 1000 instead of actual binary to the power of 2.
