Isn’t it the Cloudflare bot detection page that says “Just a moment” (… while we check that you’re human)?
It’s probably because lemmy servers are constantly loading a bunch of websites to generate previews and Cloudflare decides that those clients look like bots.
I was just thinking that I’ve never had any problems with either WiFi or Ethernet connectivity since NetworkManager became a standard part of modern distros. Before that I was having to install windows drivers with ndiswrapper and configure interfaces manually in
ifup
andifdown
scripts, and I haven’t had to do that for at least 15 years now.
