Placeholder.com doesn't exist, so image() no longer works

[jamiethorpe]

Summary

Placeholder.com was bought by another company and the domain was moved today. This is resulting in gateway timeouts when using the image() method.

Versions

	Version
PHP	8.1
fakerphp/faker	1.21.0

Self-enclosed code snippet for reproduction

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
$image = $faker->image('storage/app', 360, 360, 'animals', false, true, 'cats', false, 'jpg');

Expected output

A 360x360 image

Actual output

A gateway timeout

Every now and then you might receive an image, but it's likely just cached on a CDN that hasn't been updated.
