Looks like the domain itself is not blocked, but CDN is. They've been fucking with CDNs for quite some time lately.
I think I've experienced this on Tor but I always presumed it was some Tor fuckery and so I'd just get a new Tor window and it would work and keep going.
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.
Thank you Null, very cool!
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.
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.
Consideing the current os is 26.2.4 i’d say the iphone x is considered obselete by apple since it cant support above 16.
The iPhone X was released in 2017. I recently upgraded from an iPhone SE 3 (2022) and it was starting to struggle with the farms at times, and it had a much newer SoC than the iPhone X. Time for an upgrade, sad but true.
I am nearly certain the issue is memory so if you have a fancy iPhone 15 with expanded memory that may be why.
IPhone 7 with a glorious 2Gb here.
Adding in my +1 that the few times I had the website seemingly stop responding despite me clicking and new tab clicking and after making sure an "asdfasdf" google search worked to rule out my own connection I'd VPN switch and it'd usually fix itself so I never gave it much thought.
are you saying this happened after this post this morning?
Yes, it happened after your post, and 1 minute before my 2nd post saying it happened again. I briefly thought you were trolling me when I refreshed this page and it immediately hanged, but then the second page hanged as well.
No, just confirming that I recall similar circumstances occurring in the past (when I would catch up on busy threads with a lot of quick cycling through pages after big news hit on a mobile browser hence me assuming it was just networking issues or DDOS protections on the server). It actually hasn't happened in weeks for me as far as I can recall.
it's been happening to me since Tuesday, both on PC and mobile using brave. happened while using chrome and firefox on PC as well.
