So was I!

Did they put in a drip loop? I've used standard Cat 5 around this house for about 20 years now, with no problems that could be attributed to the cable. At WMT we installed about 100 m of armoured Cat 5, but around 30 m of that is buried and the rest is strapped to a fence. ==== Completely irrelevant anecdote Warning: ===== About 45 years ago, I was a young RN Artificer at RNAS Culdrose. The squadron had installed a field telephone between the Line Office and the squadron buildings; a distance of around 2-300 metres. For part of this distance the cables had been strapped to a barb wire fence. This phone was very unreliable and as the 'Baby Tiff', I was given the job of sorting it out. It didn't take long; the farmer had recently put his cows into the field on the other side of the fence and they quite liked the taste of the insulation. :-) ============================================== > The issue looks to be that DNSSEC was removed from raspberrypi.org, the > signed records were removed from the raspberrypi.org name servers before > .org's servers stopped telling everyone that the zone was signed and > before the cached records expired.

That's useful; so raspberrypi.org is maintained by 'Mythic Beasts'? Interesting name for a hosting company. > Assuming the cached records have expired by now, it should be working again. It wasn't first thing this morning, but it seems to be now. -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2018-07-03 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
