Looking for decent silicone keyboard cover

May 06, 2021 Last reply: 5 years ago 16 Replies

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 seperately when using it.


This one is polyurethane but appears to have separate keys

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.

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.

Did you make sure the whole link was entered ?

With no brackets.

You should not need to clear anything.

Hi Paul

Thank you so much for responding.

You were absolutely spot-on with regard that THAT link.

Not so much the OTHER link. Safari did not connect.

Hi Paul

No, I don't use VMs but this is what I see (even after cleaning history, cookies and restarting). I also have a second Mac and the result is the same on both machines:-

I'm going to try using a VPN now.

? I CAN see the keyboard now.

I've tried both of my Apple computers on two different Routers - both are BT ISPs and with the same result on each. I'll now look on my iPad.

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 your ISP has *BANNED* you from connecting to certain IP ranges. Probably due to complaints of criminal activity.

Looks like they did the right thing. IMHO, VPNs should *BAN* you too. HTH

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/uploads/2020/02/07421-600x582.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

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

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

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

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

A prime example is

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

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.

But you never use Piratebay! You told me you were a good s**en, sorry, seaman!

May I ask how YOU get there?

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).

I google "piratebay" - first link is

which is not blocked by Plusnet. They did block the original which I think was .se at the time.

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