    It seems the DNS redirection directive is now on hold. Regardless, what I can say is that those who learned how to configure DoT and DoH will likely continue using them from now on, just in case.

    I've encountered a significant issue with my DNS resolution due to what appears to be a mandated DNS redirection implemented by my ISP. Despite configuring Quad9 as my upstream DNS server, queries were not reaching the intended endpoints. This behavior persisted even after verifying the correct IP addresses. While I understand the potential rationale behind such a policy, the lack of transparency and communication from my ISP is deeply concerning. The claim that this redirection will enhance security is questionable, as it could inadvertently introduce vulnerabilities or compromise privacy. Furthermore, it raises red flags about potential government censorship efforts. To mitigate these risks, I strongly recommend employing DNS over TLS (DoT) or DNS over HTTPS (DoH) protocols. These methods can help bypass the redirection and ensure your DNS queries remain private. If these options are not feasible, consider using a VPN service, such as Cloudflare's Warp.

    So what did it take for you to go to Linux?

    Vista, that's what ruined it for me. I had XP Pro, and I loved that it had all the features (IIS, FTP Server, etc.). But when Vista came out, it had so many different versions, each one a gatekeeper for different features. That was just too much. XP was the last one I used for my personal use. I jumped into Linux, head first, and I've never looked back.

    I think I saw once in Wordle's stats that most people started with "adieu". I wonder if most started with it or picked it up as they played.

    La traducción salió muy bien, podrías seguir usando DeepL si necesitas ayuda con lo que escribes.

    Tus opciones van a depender del lugar dónde vivas, si no tienes a ningún hispanohablante cerca, podrías intentar en Discord, https://discord.com/invite/spanish-english .

They'd be doing me a favor if they blocked those too! #telcorules

    PAS constantly tells people that the changes they suggest will not affect non Muslims and they expect the population to believe them. A couple of references: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2022/11/21/we-wont-force-our-way-pas-assures-non-muslims/ https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2022/08/27/pas-has-always-taken-care-of-non-malays-non-muslims-in-k039tan-says-its-state-election-director
