Variety constantly (once per second) requests dns for wallhaven.cc and w.wallhaven.cc #592

Variety verson - 0.8.9 Void Linux

I have set up about 30 search terms for wallhaven.cc site.

Variety constantly (once per second) requests dns for wallhaven.cc and w.wallhaven.cc. It downloads pictures successfully. It stops requesting dns when I toggle "use internet" switch off in Variety application.

Here is a screenshot from my pihole:

What is the wallpaper change interval you've setup? Is this an ongoing thing that never stops? Variety normally downloads aggressively a number of images for every configured source, and then stops and downloads individual new ones only when the wallpaper is changed and the cached ones are "consumed".

It would help if you can attach your config file here, along with variety.log.

Attach Variety's log file If possible, please run variety -v in a terminal, reproduce the bug, quit Variety and attach this log file to the bug report: ~/.config/variety/variety.log. You may want to first manually check the log for exceptions, errors or warnings after you see the bug - if you can make an educated guess to what is happening, your bug report will be more helpful.
