    This is an amazing article for folks interested in the low level IPC dbus. systemd, network manager, and or applications are leveraging dbus and with the new dbusbroker I expect more and more applications leverage it. It’s MASSIVELY confusing at first, but this is such a great article I hope it helps anyone interested in thr low level communications of userspace level linux applications.


  • It’s a fair point, but I don’t think I’m worthy, hence why I asked. Lol

    i’m on beehaw and they don’t just create communities, hence why I asked here. Seems like I’m getting a number if uovotes, so not sure if others are interested in my question or woukd like to see folks posting when they go live here. Any and all thoughts are appreciated.

    Obviously wondering mod and communities thoughts as well. This is all of our space imo.











  • 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.











  • 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.
