If DNS is unavailable when Caprine starts, it will only show a white screen, must be restarted
Summary:
If DNS is unavailable when Caprine starts, Caprine will display a white screen as if it got stuck. Instead, it needs to retry for a connection every so often. Right now the only fix is to exit Caprine and relaunch it.
Details:
I handle DNS through AdGuardHome running in a Docker container. It's configured to start up, but there's about a 30-60 second delay while Docker loads in the background. Because my DNS is configured to look at it, I do not have connectivity to the Internet for about a minute after my computer starts. Caprine is set to load during startup, and in a timing race, beats Docker at loading. Because DNS doesn't resolve for about a minute, Caprine gets stuck and just shows a white screen. Instead, like other programs, it needs to retry the connection every so often.
