If you’re getting DHCP, it could also be the DHCP server that’s giving you this address. In a standard house you’ll not set a specific IP address, but your router will give you one, and normally your home computers will also use your router for DNS. So potentially your router is setting this, but that’d be a misconfigured router really, because your router shouldn’t be telling your computer to look at local loopback for DNS requests.

Your /etc/resolv.conf is generated by your NetworkManager, which you know. Seeing the settings of NM can be confusing, and I had to try to remind myself. You can manually set these in NM or as someone else stated, systemd-resolved might be doing this as well. If you’re changing this inside of NM and you’re still seeing that, then something is changing it, again systemd-resolved is the most likely culprit but there are other applications that do DNS caching such as unbound, dnsmasq, etc.

You can try seeing NM with the nmcli command such as the following:

$ nmcli connection show Wired\ connection\ 1

Note that “Wired\ connection\ 1” is the name of my connection, but yours might vary. If you hit TAB though a few times it should give you options.

You’d then look for an option like ipv6.dns and if it’s not set you’ll see “–”.

However that “nameserver ::1” is just indicating the ipv6 loopback so on an ipv6 address your NM is saying look for something listening locally.

If you don’t like looking at nmcli you could also check nm-connection-editor command:

$ nm-connection-editor

And that opens a GUI for editting connections.

There’s also nmtui for NM’s terminal user interface.

The Linux Experiment is also on the Fediverse.

Coukd it also be that he used to work for them and is just familiar with it?

So if the work they used to train it isn’t a copyright violation canthr things it creates be copyrighted? I hate copyright. It doesn’t protect the people it should. Public domain everything that these AI create, companies will stay away, and we support creators directly.

Probably the best gaming hardware purchase I’ve ever made. Play weekly, take it with us on vacation so we can hook it to hotel tvs and not put up with cable or smart tv BS. Absolutely love it.

I’ve never heard of yacy.net but I will check it out. Thank you for the info!

Use tech and services outside the big tech. Just Fedi over standard social. Use Peertube instead of Youtube.

Run Firefox.

Set up your own servers for yourself or start a community. Matrix, Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.

Run SearXNG as your search or help others by hosting.

If you can work of free and open source code that helps decentralize and give the power back to the people or create something new. Even if you can code, learning a project and helping others with it or helping create docs, etc.

Spread the word, but don’t be annoying. Help less technical folks get decentralized.

It’s very difficult and can be disheartening, but you don’t have to cold turkey all of it. Each drip in the bucket helps until we’re all united and become a tidal wave.

When all the power is centralized that’s when those central players think they can do whatever they want.

XMPP or Matrix. I’m on Matrix only because I have my family there and I was there before I knew of XMPP and at this point I can’t turn that boat.

Signal was/is (idk if they still are) into crypto, they don’t let you run your own server or client, and they have a proprietary shim in place to combat spam (or so they say, it can’t be audited because it’s proprietary).

I was all in on Signal until the above.

“In essence, the accuracy is entirely dependent on the difficulty of the test.”

AKA doesn’t work for shit. Don’t bother with it. And even if it did work, it’ll be an arms race and right now the deepfakes have the nuke and Intel has a musket.

I just created a helper for this new build system, I plan on getting angel investors for my startup.

I’ve also created my own license so anyone that views it is now working for me. The wrapper:

#!/bin/bash

g++ *
