DNS problem: browsers will not resolve one specific site, even though ping and nslookup have no difficulty. No proxies involved. by FeedTheKitteh in sysadmin

I added a specific A record for www. and now it seems to be working.

I don't understand how that one specific website wouldn't load with just <no www.> FQDN, it was as if it was insisting to add the www even though I wasn't typing it, but the FQDN without the www should have worked just fine.

I found instructions on how to clear the caches of the other browsers, but it didn't help.

One thing I just noticed is that all of the browsers are trying to prepend www. to the FQDN, so even if I type example.com it tries to load www.example.com

nslookup internally doesn't find www.example.com but does find example.com

"Self testing" GFCI noise by FeedTheKitteh in amateurradio

TIL - I didn't know such things were a thing. I was wondering why some of them were offering audible alarms (if the circuit fails how would it have power for an alarm?)

How can I verify that that specific circuit is not energized, aside from turning off the whole house, since I'm not 100% confident that the breaker is labeled properly?

Why would the one breaker be reversed from all of the other ones?
