[lubuntu-devel] Lubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 73, Issue 2

[Thomas Ward]

Since the issue also affects lubuntu.me, then that suggests a much 
*wider* problem with your internet or network.  Since we've ruled out 
everything from console logs, the only thing left to us to assume is 
your ISP or network you're connecting to is doing some kind of 
filtration, especially if it's hitting *multiple* sites (lubuntu.me and 
discourse.lubuntu.me do NOT run on the same infrastructure nor even the 
same region or datacenters, nor even the same setup of the underlying 
system (bare metal + LXD for discourse, singular VM for lubuntu.me).

Because of the issues being more than just one site and more than one 
component, this suggests your ISP is doing something.  You wouldn't 
happen to live in a middle eastern country, or Russia, or China, would 
you?  (countries that enforce country-level ISP blocks and filtration 
that we can't do anything about).
