Loripsum has been down for many months, and at this point I would think it unlikely to ever come back.
This completely breaks Eloquens and it ought to move to a new backend.
I took some guesses at what the API is supposed to look like and made a fork that runs on your local machine at github dot com slash robinpie slash Localquens.
I didn’t make this a pull request because it seems too forward for a new contributor to entirely replace the core of how a program works, but I would be happy to contribute this to upstream if it is desired.
In case it helps, here’s the API spec from the last archived version (https://web.archive.org/web/20250223085946/https://loripsum.net/):
