[T.J. ] To be honest, I do not quite get what the debate is over at Debian. That's something of a big *shrug* as far as I am concerned. Falling back on Google's nameserver is no better or worse than using anyone else's. If some over at Debian are under the delusion that their privacy is somehow invaded by using a Google nameserver, they should keep in mind that your ISP logs exactly the same data, as does everyone else. I should know. I used to setup DNS and administrate servers for a living. As far as making Debian "idiot-proof" by choosing a default - for most is probably not a bad thing. There are a lot of people using Linux today who do not know how to set their DNS properly, even in Windows. The rest of us probably have our own nameservers. > I couldn't ever imagine that anybody would be able to trash Debian in such a > deliberate and lighthearted way, and in such a short timeframe :( [T.J. ] Debian never really did reach a high point, KatolaZ. It always did have some breakage and some "brain-dead" goofs with each release. When I heard they were going to systemd, I pretty much assumed that the architecture of the system would be trashed in favor of the systemd model. That is why I have made comments, sometimes regarded as contentious - that Devuan will eventually have to make a clean break with Debian, just to stay sane. Best regards!
