Images, particularly GIFs appear as a red X. When I post.
Because you are hotlinking images. To protect users, hotlinking is proxied. The larger your image, the more likely proxying will fail. If your source blocks requests from the server, it will always fail. Do not hotlink images. Do not post reaction GIFs because they're fucking shit.

The onion URL seems like it is down. E.g Tor Browser

I just got a one-off Cloudflare 502. Just some tails and ends of upgrading I guess?
No one should be getting a 502. What time did you receive it?
 
Technical question: How does the new server sound? Do the fans hum in any perceptively different way to you? Do you hear circuits chirping or LEDs flickering on the edge of audible perception, and does it sound pleasing?

Whenever I build a new gaming rig for someone or make a major upgrade, it's interesting how different the new hardware sounds when it's generally not a feature or even something people think of. Hope it was nice to listen to it power up for the first time.
 
Dear god please tell me this new font is one of the changes you're currently rolling back. This new one is weird and chunky and it's shredding my retinas on mobile. I tried adjusting the size and it doesn't help, it's like trying to read Comic Sans.

Nice crisp old font:

Null pls, I will pay money to undo this if that's what it takes. I just want the site to be readable again :cryblood:
 
Issue 1: I am seeing these little guys all over the place.

Symbols that can't be shown in the current font or text encoder?

Issue 2: Post body texts are all defaulting to some sort of serif font and it looks weird. Did we used to have serif fonts? I can't remember. I don't think so though.

I'm on Firefox 74
