The MP4 does not concern itself with where it is, only with where it is going. It is a highly calibrated series of movement vectors with frame by frame calculations being rendered by highly sophisticated…

Yes, you can configure systemd-resolved to use the DNS servers in the order provided without dynamically switching based on speed. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Edit the resolved configuration file:

   Open the resolved.conf file in a text editor:

   sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
   

2. Modify or add the following line:

   DNS=`IP_of_pihole` `IP_of_mikrotik`
   DNSStubListener=no
   FallbackDNS=
   

   Replace IP_of_pihole and IP_of_mikrotik with your actual DNS IP addresses. This tells systemd-resolved to only use the DNS servers in the order you’ve specified.

3. Prevent automatic DNS changes by network manager:

   If you’re using NetworkManager, create a drop-in configuration to prevent it from overriding DNS settings:

   sudo mkdir -p /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
   sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/dns.conf
   

   Add the following content:

   [main]
   dns=none
   

4. Restart services:

   After making these changes, restart systemd-resolved and NetworkManager:

   sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
   sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
   

This should ensure that your system uses the DNS servers in the order provided without any automatic switching.

I use beets for that.

It’s a bit of a learning curve, though.

But I have developed a nice little README to remind myself how to do the basics.

It’s better than using a crappy GUI, or paying for something I will only ever use rarely.

Every time I see the flag of France, I am reminded of this TNG scene.

Mailfence and Protonmail.

Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.

I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.

I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

Indexed?

No worries. But sincerely, I tried to be as clear as possible in the post text. Not sure what else I could have said to be clearer.

Perfect! So many stars!

That’s really cool, thank you.

Any idea how many people are contributing to the recipe inventory actively?

I would love to see lots of forks and sharing where folks contribute their own variation of recipes.

Another way to be a class traitors or to betray and bully your fellow workers? Call them “technicians”, meaning that their work is boring and doesn’t require them to leave their comfort zone?

I don’t know what is worse, making people learn how to do computer work in the first place (which is all just insanely ridiculous conventions other supposedly smart humans have invented but which then require ridiculous amounts of training to use effectively), or, pretending that the “ideal” is to build systems which are so self-sufficient that they eliminate any need for human operators or improvers and celebrating that as the ideal.

Fuck yeah. Abolish that stupid fucking shit. Just fuckin do it already.

USA will rage quit. Oh well. Fuck us. We can go fuck ourselves.
