Some weird stuff is going on. I always check the Yosemite webcams, so first:

$ ping pixelcaster.com ping: cannot resolve pixelcaster.com: Unknown host

$ ping pixelcaster.com PING pixelcaster.com (34.208.45.100): 56 data bytes (webserver doesn't ping)

At least, it's resolved. And now, the webcams are back online.

Do visit them! https://pixelcaster.com/yosemite/webcams/ahwahnee2.jpg

The Half Dome (from Ahwahnee) and High Sierra (from Sentinel Dome) as well as the El Capitan one (from turtleback) seem to have been upgraded. I get star photos at night from El Cap.

Apologies if this is a bit off-topic. When DNS fails, I worry.
