Helping @rakekniven sort out forum performance issues and users are no longer able to upload images. This error has been cropping up a lot. Seems this person is also having similar errors and is also unable to upload images.

Found this on stackoverflow for resolving the issue in Ruby:

It seems to be a problem with certain versions of libc which resolve DNS routes. After spending couple hours to search solution you just need to add require 'resolv-replace' at the beginning of your code.

More information: Use Ruby DNS resolver to handle DNS timeout in Net::HTTP by pranas · Pull Request #597 · ruby/ruby · GitHub

Hope this help somebody in the future.
