Btw, I thought this video of Dan explaining his position regarding Farcaster‘s status really helpful and honest! **cypherr.eth**: Trying comments lfggg **tim**: let‘s goooooooooo **$oulless.eth**: here to lerning GM **frotograf.eth**: finally som, good ol' comments :D ppl will be pleased. **macbudkowski.eth**: is it me or does erik look like dan's cousin on this preview **tim**: Ignore this comment I'm testing in production **tim**: this is a test for caching **tim**: a third test for caching, this time with etags **tim**: man production testing is super fun **tim**: ok another comment because now maybe cloudflare has propagated **tim**: wow how many more comments will I have to send. But the etag header is now being forwarded by cloudflare which is great! **tim**: ANOTHER COMMENT **tim**: and another comment after that one **tim**: a last one now I think it might actually work **tim**: this is one of those debug comments **crout.eth**: Here for the comment section. 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 **tim**: let's fucking goooo, this is the most commented post ever **frotograf.eth**: comentoooorrrrrrrrrr **tim**: 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 I‘m commentiiiiing **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: alright witness history here **tim**: And now you‘re part of it hehe **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: I wish that kiwi let me post native content here. That isn't outgoing to another site. The current format is so cold, nobody comments. It's just outgoing links. I can't access Warpcast because I'm boycotting Google/Apple, and it doesn't work on degoogled phones. So I like that Kiwi works with metamask, but it doesn't appear to have much interaction. I want to help **tim**: Fair, so you mean that we allowed opening full text submissions where no link is required? Thanks for commenting btw., I appreciate it because, it‘s true we need more of it. I‘ll think about how to prioritize implementing it! **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: Yeah something native to Kiwi **tim**: Lol with u commenting more, I'm starting to see how bad the cache control for comments still is, pls keep commenting so that I can improve haha **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: @timdaub.eth Sometimes on page loads it gives the gateway error. You know which screen I'm talking about? That Cloudflare is working, but the "gateway" is down. Which I assume means your local VPS **tim**: OK thanks for reporting. I personally haven‘t seen that error. Does it regularly? Can you say how far you are eg from Germany? Just roughly so that I can understand whether it is a geographic thing **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: only twice. I'm using Tor, which usually gives German exits. If it happens again, I'll get my exit country. But your cloudflare settings are actually ok for Tor, please don't set it on more strict where it does the captcha each time. **tim**: Ah wow, yeah the CF settings aren‘t super aggressive - because I had to disable a bunch of stuff for Farcaster Frames. It‘s good to know that you‘re commenting from Tor so I‘ll keep that in mind for the future. **simplifiedprivacy.eth**: Actually yeah I’m stuck. Do I have a farcaster ID? Eth wallet: 0x094A1ef2F50F36956a90E410Ffc143362340865c It won’t let me do a different client, saying only 1 FID per address. How do I view it or transfer it?
