[SOLVED] {TV series or movie unsure] two characters act out scene from Empire Strikes Back for young children in c/tipofmytongue@lemmy.world

If memory serves me well, I think it's Reign of Fire with Christian Bale and Gerard Butler, also starring Matthew McConaughey.

We're going on four weeks from the initial statement. The lack of status updates is what bothers me the most. I understand delays, but please let us know. It just looks like it's been forgotten about.

For the last 12 or so hours, I can't access Lemmy from my home network without a VPN. in c/support@lemmy.world

This is embarrassing... I'm a sonic fan, I saw your avatar, and I didn't know if there was anything special I had to do to get a moving avatar like that so I tried to see if it was as simple as just uploading the gif file and clearly it works. But I don't post much so I didn't think anybody would see it and forgot to take it off.

I do! Didn't even think to check there. Should be an easy enough fix for me to whitelist it, I'll give it a try and see if it works.

EDIT: Confirmed solution, adding the site IP to the whitelist in pfBlockerNG allows me to access again. Thank you!

Sometime around yesterday afternoon, I went to check my saved posts and noticed they were all weird. I cleared my cache and when I went to log back in, the site wouldn't load. I just figured the site was down for some reason so I tried again a couple hours later and it still wouldn't load. The lemmy.world status page said no downtime for the day. I checked from other devices in the house and it didn't work on any of them. I decided to try going through a VPN in case my IP somehow got blocked or something similar, and I was able to access through VPN (hence me being able to post now).

Any idea what might have happened? I don't spam the site with traffic or anything so if I was blocked I have no idea why.
