That's why IPv6 has privacy extensions which periodically rotate your address

Small ones are actually often better than big ones. I have a love hate relationship with cloudflare, they contribute to internet centralization but it IPv6 enables so many sites transparently and they only let you turn it off if you're an enterprise customer. So some guy using free cloudflare has IPv6 but not discord, ironic. That being said I have NAT64+DNS64 which lets me access the remaining legacy v4 services without having v4 on my network or devices. Although according to my firewall stats over 90% of my traffic is v6 native, the remainder is NAT64. Honestly the only services I use on a regular basis which don't work if I disable NAT64, discord, steam, and my bank. Everything else I use is v6 native, YT, Crunchyroll, lemmy (this instance), even steam downloads (just not login ironically).

Honestly, I get this is a joke...but it unironically wouldn't impact me, I run single stack v6, so let's do it. I'll grab some popcorn

It's normal for the loopback con path to end in 1, each con path is unique for each interface. My guess is that if your pihole sometimes works, the IPv4 server is your pihole and the IPv6 servers are ISP provided (especially if there are 2), so they work for the internet but not your internal network. Ideally you would set your pihole's IPv6 address as your IPv6 DNS as well. Failing that, setting the IPv6 mode in your network manager UI to "Automatic, addresses only" will make it not used for DNS

nmcli device show eth0

Or replace eth0 with whatever interface it is. Will give you a list of all network parameters including the DNS servers. There ideally should only be one, your pihole

Is your pihole server the only DNS server set? Either on your PC or router? Is network manager sometimes using a different nameserver?

Thing 5, ew NAT

Why is this being posted to Linux? Wouldn't !privacy@programming.dev be more appropriate?

This will be cool and useful, I currently use tayga as a clat with jool as the plat.

Might be possible? It's not only possible but rather easy to do, in fact I often have multiple installs side by side in different subvolumes and I can switch between them, reinstall as needed, snapshot them. The only partition I have separate is /boot because it has to be vfat for the esp. Tbh accidentally blowing up a subvolume isn't all that much more or less difficult to do than accidentally blowing up a partition. IMO if you're paranoid about wrecking something the only safe separation is multiple drives and disconnecting the one you want to avoid touching. I keep home in a separate subvolume specifically for the separation you mention, it can persist across different installs because it's separate. Subvolumes are fully isolated from most failures with the exception of filesystem corruption.

I would think most distros that use glibc should work, steam and pretty much all games don't care about the init system. I personally use devuan and have had no issues.

Tl;Dr they all failed because they're init daemons and not entire system management daemons. Article gave a nice description of the different choices but I gave up reading after runit because the reason for failure always boiled down to

It's only an init daemon
