No I can't, unfortunately -- not without setting DNSSEC=off :-(

(I did that as a temporary measure, just to see, and I do get through
that way, but I don't want to turn DNSSEC off).

(Thank you Marius, BTW, who pointed me to
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/9867
where I got the DNSSEC=off clue).

https://gnu.org works fine with DNSSEC=on (with the exception of page
links from there to guix.gnu.org or savannah.gnu.org (that I know of)).

Why does gnu.org work and guix.gnu.org not??

That gnu.org works makes me think the problem is at guix.gnu.org,
not in a configuration problem on my machine.

I wonder if key infrastructure potholes like this are not putting off
more potential contributors than other recently discussed put-offs :)
