Looks like BT is blocking europrinty.

_Could_ be BT know (or suspect) something about europrinty.

_Could_ be they (or _somewhere_ in your route to europrinty via BT) is

Tested as you suggested, John.

I, too, now believe that BT is, indeed, blocking the domain.

I was thrown a little off track because I know that 'Apd' uses BT yet he
said it was no problem at HIS home. At that stage I hadn't considered
that he might not be connecting to the site via BT. (How dopey was that?!!)

There's just SO much to remember. When I was first playing with naval
computers in the early 1960s, it was somewhat easier to remember things
- if I recall correctly! ;-)

Thank you for helping, John. :-D

Used to be one called Kidd Glove or similar. Not very nice to type on, you
used also to get hold of the whole keyboard with one glued on as well, meant
for the blind with big legends in a contrasting colour or very dirty
environments apparently.

Not very hard wearing though.

Is there a silicone desktop keyboard cover with individual keys? Every one
I've found has the entire bottom row, function key row, and arrows/numeric
keypad area as single sections, yet the letters are individual. I want to
protect it from pets taking the keys off, but I want to feel the keys

This one is polyurethane but appears to have separate keys

https://www.keyboardco.com/cover/typ...-keyboards.asp


Looks good, apart from the keys aren't all in the right place for my
keyboard. I have a longer shift on the left, and 9 not 6 keys above
the
arrows. I'm guessing trying to modify that would be difficult. In
fact
looking through Ebay, I can't find a single keyboard that's set up
that way
with the small left shift. I guess I'm going to have to put up with
one with
generic areas for compatibility.

What keyboard do you have? If you have the type it is easier to find the
cover.

I can't find mine online, so I'll have to explain. Look at this:
https://europrinty.net/wp-content/up...21-600x582.jpg
Now add three more keys under the "delete", "end", "page down" keys,
so the middle one is directly above the up arrow.
The key left of the lower part of the main enter key is removed, and
the enter key made larger.

SSLLabs gives it an A rating, the server is hosted by Hetzner.

Only the site scan shows anything amiss, possible some past event.
I don't know what Safari uses for host filtering.


I use Opera and I don't think it has any filtering. If I wanted filtering I'd use an AV.

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/6...348c/detection

On the machine I'm typing on, I have multiple browsers and multiple
OSes to use. For example Imgur is a pig of a site to work with.
I can use MSEdge (a Chromealike) for that, in a Win10 VM. As
long as the VM will give me any cycles I can use for myself.

Does your Mac have any VMs it can use ? Since my main OS here
won't run the browsers I need, I use VMs for that.


You have an OS that doesn't have a wide selection of browsers? Why?

Instead of covering the keyboard cover your hands.

Did you ever post the make and model of the keyboard?

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Looks like BT is blocking europrinty.

_Could_ be BT know (or suspect) something about europrinty.

_Could_ be they (or _somewhere_ in your route to europrinty via BT) is
using a DNS that has a corrupted entry. You could test that by using the
URL with the numeric form instead of europrinty.net in it (if I ping it
now from here, I get that europrinty,net is 148.251.225.179, and it
responds in 27 or 28 ms with a TTL of 53; using two different ping
methods). In other words, if you try
https://147.251.225.179/wp-content/u...21-600x582.jpg .
Try pinging it from where you are - both by name and number.


Tested as you suggested, John.

I, too, now believe that BT is, indeed, blocking the domain.

I was thrown a little off track because I know that 'Apd' uses BT yet he
said it was no problem at HIS home. At that stage I hadn't considered
that he might not be connecting to the site via BT. (How dopey was
that?!!)

There's just SO much to remember. When I was first playing with naval
computers in the early 1960s, it was somewhat easier to remember things
- if I recall correctly! ;-)

Thank you for helping, John. :-D


If BT are censoring your browsing experience, it's time to tell them to
**** off.


They are - as instructed by the UK government! ;-)

A prime example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_Bay

So far, though, they cannot prevent me from using a VPN if I wish.

Ha! Not sure which to choose!

bilge-sucking - an insult indicating someone drank dirty bilge water
from the bottom of the ship
black spot - a death threat (found in Treasure Island by Robert Louis
Stevenson)
blow the man down - it possibly means getting knocked to the ground or
killed (found in a 19th-century sea shanty)
cleave him to the brisket - cut a man nearly in half with a sword
dance with Jack Ketch - to hang (Jack Ketch was slang for the hangman)
dead men tell no tales - the reason given for leaving no survivors
give no quarter - show no mercy; pirates raised a red flag to threaten
no quarter
landlubber - a person who is uncomfortable, or not incredibly skilled,
at sea
lily-livered - an insult for someone who displays cowardice
keelhaul - a punishment in which someone was dragged back and forth
under the ship
mutiny - a situation in which the crew chooses a new captain, sometimes
forcibly removing the old one
scallywag - an inexperienced pirate, considered an insult
scurvy dog - an insulting name
shark bait - If you're made to walk the plank, chances are you'll be
shark bait. Also, a dying sailor whose body will soon be thrown into the sea
son of a biscuit eater - an insult
walk the plank - A punishment, probably more myth than truth, which
entails making someone walk off the side of the ship along a plank. The
person's hands were often tied so he couldn't swim and drowned (and then
fed the fish).

Does it have a brand name? If you can find the brand name / model you can look

The brand makes many many models.

https://europrinty.net/wp-content/up...21-600x582.jpg

Just an image of a keyboard shrug

So has anyone found me a ****ing keyboard cover, or are you all going to
witter on about crappy ISPs? ARGH!!! :-)

Instead of covering the keyboard cover your hands.


How do I cover the parrot's beak?

Did you ever post the make and model of the keyboard?


I failed to find a photo. It's a Weibo, but I don't know the model.


Can you post am image of the keyboard itself?


Can't be bothered getting the camera out.

But add three keys below del/end/pgdn.

Sitrep!

I cannot reach the europrinty server using my computers or iPads
connecting through BT, my ISP.

I CAN reach the server when using a VPN connection or when using the
3/4G connection on two different phones.

Any further thoughts Paul/anyone?

TIA

Looks like BT is blocking europrinty.

_Could_ be BT know (or suspect) something about europrinty.

_Could_ be they (or _somewhere_ in your route to europrinty via BT) is
using a DNS that has a corrupted entry. You could test that by
using the
URL with the numeric form instead of europrinty.net in it (if I
ping it
now from here, I get that europrinty,net is 148.251.225.179, and it
responds in 27 or 28 ms with a TTL of 53; using two different ping
methods). In other words, if you try
https://147.251.225.179/wp-content/u...21-600x582.jpg .
Try pinging it from where you are - both by name and number.

Tested as you suggested, John.

I, too, now believe that BT is, indeed, blocking the domain.

I was thrown a little off track because I know that 'Apd' uses BT
yet he
said it was no problem at HIS home. At that stage I hadn't considered
that he might not be connecting to the site via BT. (How dopey was
that?!!)

There's just SO much to remember. When I was first playing with naval
computers in the early 1960s, it was somewhat easier to remember things
- if I recall correctly! ;-)

Thank you for helping, John. :-D

If BT are censoring your browsing experience, it's time to tell them to
**** off.

They are - as instructed by the UK government! ;-)

A prime example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pirate_Bay


Are they? I don't use a VPN to get to it. But then I don't use the
original whatever that might be. There are about 150 of them now. I
can't even remember the original address.


May I ask how YOU get there?


I google "piratebay" - first link is https://thepiratebay.org/index.html which is not blocked by Plusnet. They did block the original which I think was .se at the time.

So far, though, they cannot prevent me from using a VPN if I wish.


But you never use Piratebay! You told me you were a good semen, sorry,
seaman!


Ha! Not sure which to choose!

bilge-sucking - an insult indicating someone drank dirty bilge water
from the bottom of the ship
black spot - a death threat (found in Treasure Island by Robert Louis
Stevenson)
blow the man down - it possibly means getting knocked to the ground or
killed (found in a 19th-century sea shanty)
cleave him to the brisket - cut a man nearly in half with a sword
dance with Jack Ketch - to hang (Jack Ketch was slang for the hangman)
dead men tell no tales - the reason given for leaving no survivors
give no quarter - show no mercy; pirates raised a red flag to threaten
no quarter
landlubber - a person who is uncomfortable, or not incredibly skilled,
at sea
lily-livered - an insult for someone who displays cowardice
keelhaul - a punishment in which someone was dragged back and forth
under the ship
mutiny - a situation in which the crew chooses a new captain, sometimes
forcibly removing the old one
scallywag - an inexperienced pirate, considered an insult
scurvy dog - an insulting name
shark bait - If you're made to walk the plank, chances are you'll be
shark bait. Also, a dying sailor whose body will soon be thrown into the sea
son of a biscuit eater - an insult
walk the plank - A punishment, probably more myth than truth, which
entails making someone walk off the side of the ship along a plank. The
person's hands were often tied so he couldn't swim and drowned (and then
fed the fish).


What was the most fun thing that ever happened in your navy days?

Looks good, apart from the keys aren't all in the right place for my
keyboard. I have a longer shift on the left, and 9 not 6 keys above the
arrows. I'm guessing trying to modify that would be difficult. In fact
looking through Ebay, I can't find a single keyboard that's set up that way
with the small left shift. I guess I'm going to have to put up with one
with
generic areas for compatibility.

What keyboard do you have? If you have the type it is easier to find the
cover.

I can't find mine online, so I'll have to explain. Look at this:
https://europrinty.net/wp-content/up...21-600x582.jpg
Now add three more keys under the "delete", "end", "page down" keys, so the
middle one is directly above the up arrow.
The key left of the lower part of the main enter key is removed, and the
enter key made larger.


Does yours have the same shaped Enter key?


Didn't I just say "the key left of the lower part of the main enter key is
removed, and the enter key made larger"?


Fair enough. Can you just post an image of it?

Does it have a brand name? If you can find the brand name / model you can
look
for that and keyboard cover... might find something, likely will if it is
fairly common.


The brand makes many many models.


Are you able to post an image of it? Take a quick pic.

FYI - Safari cannot open your link. :-(

What happens when you try? Works here.

I posted a screenshot and sitrep.

https://ibb.co/5BbmkKC

There is something VERY strange going on.

Will you - CAN you - help?

Are you using an older version of macOS / Chrome?

My header info says ...

From: David Brooks
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:78.0)


But I'm actually using THE most up-to-date macOS Big Sur Version 11.3.1

The only browser I currently have installed is Safari - Version 14.1
(16611.1.21.161.6)

Odd.

Odd. I assume your time is set correctly?

Doing an image search for "weibo keyboard" I find none like that.

You can likely get the model number if you use Google's Lens feature. If you
post a decently clear image I can do that for you. But without such an image I
am stuck... do not see one of the type you describe.
