How to set up DNS on Ubuntu 22.04 without a netplan config.

I finally found the solution here: https://serverok.in/systemd-resolved ( Archive.org cache) In case the link dies in the future, Create a file: sudo mkdir /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/ sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/dns_servers.conf Add my DNS in this file: [Resolve] DNS=8.8.8.8 1.1.1.1 Then restart systemd-resolved sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved It works even after reboot :-) PS : No idea why my DNS configuration was lost during the upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.

✍🏻 Can I has more blog?

So, I am not sure how far this will go, if far at all, but I have had the itch to start blogging more again… I am going to “attempt” to take a page from Chris Wiegman and try to write something every day ( Likely starting this coming year). It will be like the 100-day blogging challenges I have done in the past, just longer ( I hope). I hope that during this attempt, it becomes a daily thing that I do without having to remind myself or, better yet, force myself to complete it. ...
