(Ha, ha! I can hear those distro toadies already howling.)
But what's even worse, from a networking point of view, for
all of my DNS lookups I directly query the top-level root
servers:
ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root
Thanks to pdnsd this is easy to accomplish (plus adding a
persistent lookup cache as well):

Now don't you wish that YOUR distro could do all this for
you ('cause you certainly can't do it for yourself)?
I have been doing that for decades, with distro provided software,
then stopped doing it because it is not polite.
No security. Root user. No systemd. No Wayland. Root
server lookups.
It's the way personal computing is supposed to be.
I worked on an AmigaOS where that was the condition of operation.
The AmigaOS was designed pre-Internet and had no memory protection either. You did not sign in you just booted up originally from floppies and
if you could find the cash buy a SCSI host Card and learn to do SCSI 50 pin termination.
I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun but I had the chance and changed
to Linux Mandriva in 2006.
You are nuts.
Always a possibility in this modern world.
Npo. Just having a different relationship with his computer.
I mean LGBTQ is all the rage, Why not root user, terminal and no
security?
I have no problem with people doing what they please on their computer.
But trying to ridicule the people that don't do the same as him, saying
the rest of the people are stupid, is different.
