I’ve given up on truly being private. Between all of the data leaks, the known back doors, and now this… it’s mostly a lost cause. In fact, I got a letter the other day from a company I’ve never heard of, let alone done business with, stating that my PII was lost to a data breach.
All in the name of convenience and “national” security I assume. Such a bullshit excuse.
(Yeah I’m talking to you NSA, and CIA, and FBI, and you, Pervert)
FWIW, I’m referring to the local DNS (domain name system) resolver; the mechanism that resolves local domain names into IP addresses so that computers can talk to each other over the LAN.
Here is a good primer on the configuration files and their possible locations: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/resolved.conf.html
Edit: be careful because this is your domain name lookup you’re messing with. 😊
I’m waiting for Linux support to come to iPads. I have an older iPad I would love to see Linux on.
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
At least Mac is genuinely UNIX. 🙃
“Air gapped”… in my day we called that the sneaker net.
Unfortunately, heads are going to roll, and it’ll probably be the little guy who gets the blame.
That was great, up until the part about GNU. GNU hasn’t had anything to do with BSD for over a decade. Maybe use POSIX instead. 😊
In the true spirit of UNIX, it’s tar -h
obligatory mansplaining that Linux is not Unix
I feel it’s equally important to point ot that Torvalds recognized his toxic behavior, apologized for it, and took steps to rectify it.
In an email to the Linux Kernel Mailing List, which also addresses the kernel update of Linux 4.19-rc4, Torvalds writes: “I need to change some of my behavior, and I want to apologize to the people that my personal behavior hurt and possibly drove away from kernel development entirely.”
“I am going to take time off and get some assistance on how to understand people’s emotions and respond appropriately.”

Food for thought (no pun intended), but unless you’re willing to build an app (could be a great app; I doubt you’re the only person who could use this), you might be over engineering this quite a bit. A spreadsheet could be made to do what you’re looking for, with much less effort.
