Baking is comfy actually.
You just need to make sure you realize when the bread isn't updating or you can't post. That's because the DDoS needs to reverify. So keep another tab with something from 8kun (homepage, catalog, etc) and when you need to reverify, just refresh that tab and the bread will work normally again.
>Does it still take a very long time (10min+) for threads to show up in catalog?
No not really. A lot of the time it will actually load and go to the OP on its own now. Just bake a bit earlier than usual to account for any fuckery.
Not the baker but a baker.
