There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

  • You only need one. Standard is to use your router IP as local nameserver.
    If your internet provider has issues with name resolutions, which happens sometimes, you can instead set 8.8.8.8 (Google’s nameserver) or 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare’s nameserver). But then you can’t ping other devices in your local network by name, and loading websites can be a tiny bit slower.



  • First step to check would be which packages were updated, and whether there are any .pacnew and .pacsave files in /etc
    Cause that’s really the only way a pacman update can fuck up networking, by installing a new config file for a networking-related package.

    sudo find /etc -name *.pac*

    also check if there are systemctl services that didn’t come back up (most likely systemd-resolved)

    sudo systemctl --failed

  • Fedora Silverblue has some issues: They use their own flatpak repo, which only includes packages that satisfy Fedora’s free software guidelines.
    In practice this means that the Firefox it comes with doesn’t have the necessary codecs to stream porn video on all streaming sites smoothly.
    When you add the flathub repo, you now have a selector for all packages available in both where you have to choose if you want the Fedora or the Flathub version. This would be confusing for your grandparents. Also, when I tried it, it was buggier than I’m used to. Sometimes the software center locked up, or failed to install things on the first try, or update.
    Even the entire system locked up sometimes, which really shouldn’t happen on an atomic distro at all.



  • It’s not necessarily a contradiction. Lots of people now trust a “fellow man” to make a judgement on who deserves death more than the state.
    So they aren’t against killing “evil” people, they just don’t agree with the state’s definition of “evil”, and deny its right to decide that.

    Basically, it’s the premise of Batman: When the state has failed to deliver justice, the people turn to vigilante justice.
