Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Sorry, but just a bit of a rant here.

An unfortunate combination of circumstances that led me to struggle connecting my desktop to the internet--but only on Linux.

A broken driver was exposed due to a failed system update. I tried fixing the broken driver not knowing that my internet connection was actually broken at the time. For the meanwhile, I tried connecting to the internet via my phone's portable hotspot, via bluetooth (I don't even know why this works). The various "fixes" I tried broke other things, even as far as borking my Windows installation because ... I thought Windows was messing with my LAN card.

After giving it up, and way too many restarts both on Linux and Windows, I found Windows working again (I thought I reinstalled windows). My Linux system, save for the internet connection, is unscathed.

I think I've offended the God of Tech. I might have to give them an offering.

Update: It was a misconfiguration (?) somewhere in the mess that handles my system's DNS settings. For some reason, it can't find either my preferred DNS server or the cloudflare one. I had to hardcode 8.8.8.8 in the resolv.conf file.

It's a bandaid solution, but I've got a lot of work piled up that I must finish by today.

That's strange. So it doesn't respect the /etc/hosts file? Supposedly, resolv.conf should still use the hosts file, but it looks like your system is putting up a tantrum.
