  • I don’t know what your previous setup was, but given that running resolved fixes your DNS issues, run:

    ln -sf ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

    This will point programs that use /etc/resolved.conf during DNS resolution to the local DNS server provided by systemd-resolved.

    Then, enable resolved so that it is started when you reboot:

    systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service

    Finally, start the service so that it is available immediately:

    systemctl start systemd-resolved.service

    You will want it run those with the required permissions, e. g. via sudo.







  • Just for reference: the nail polish is supposed to create a random, near-impossible to replicate pattern using the metal flakes inside that get randomly distributed during application. You’re supposed to take a picture of the blob after it has dried and keep that at home for comparison - the nail polish is not a miracle replacement for e. g. Loctite that will make it impossible to undo the screws.

    I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.

    The one I use pretty much looks like this:

    It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.

    As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.



  • It’s not like Bluetooth started demanding location permissions, the conceptual model of the permission was revised: having access Bluetooth means an app could determine your location via a form of lateration.

    In earlier versions of smartphone operating systems, this was not transparent to users lacking the technical background, so Bluetooth also requiring location access is actually an attempt at making users aware of that. I’m not an iOS developer, so I can’t comment on iPhones, but on Android versions prior to 11, having access to Bluetooth meant an app would be able to determine your location.

    Today, you can require the permission ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, which expresses that your app might use Bluetooth to obtain location information on Android. Also, if you’re just scanning for nearby devices to connect your app to, but don’t want users to be confused why your smart fridge app needs to know your precise location, you can declare a permission flag (neverForLocation) and Android will strip beacon information from the scan results, better asserting your intentions.

    So, overall: no, there is nothing nefarious going on, it was always possible to determine your location via Bluetooth, and the update to the permission model was an honest improvement that actually benefits you as user.

    Now, there are still plenty of shady apps around, and apps that are poorly written - don’t use those.
