Images not loading

Since recently, I get a lot of nothing. Just blank frames where images should be.

The image could not be loaded.

dig-ing into this:

Do I have the DNS-related skill issue here?

I get the same thing. AT&T is my ISP, but I use quad-9 as my DNS provider.

dig level1techs.us-east-1.linodeobjects.com

Same here, also on quad9. The issue appeared maybe 4 days ago? (Less than a week, I think.)

Thanks @MazeFrame for reporting it!

Looking up level1techs.us-east-1.linodeobjects.com on some random web DNS service resolves to a bunch of IPs though… :question:

So is it a quad9 issue?

Yeah, I’ve had the same issue for the past couple days. Also using Quad9…

If I go through my work provider, I don’t have the issue. So it seems to be a DNS problem.

Aaaand… images are back again (for me). Still using quad9.

Just checked and can confirm; they do work again when running DNS through Quad9.
Wasn’t this a thing some months ago as well? :thinking:

same here

I figured this was just an issue on my end since I changed OSes and browsers right about the same time it started. lol. The preview is blank but clicking on the image still always loads it properly for me.
