  • Well, dig is available also of course, but nearly all distros still include nslookup despite it getting deprecated. I like the simplicity of its interactive mode.

    Host is also really great with more human-readable output.

    Don’t get me wrong, when things are getting hairy, you’re going to make a lot of use of dig. I just find that most troubleshooting can be taken care of a lot simpler with host or nslookup.



  • Yeah if you can dig a record and received a response it’s not a routing issue.

    But aren’t you on the same subnet as your DNS server? There’s no routing happening if you’re on the same subnet which I was assuming.

    Even through dig defaults to outputting A records when no other options are specified, I would use the A option anyway just in case:

    dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan A
    

    If you use “ping study.lan” do you see it output the A record IP address in the first line of output?

    Did you try using nslookup as I described?









  • This is honestly the most likely reason.

    Because legally speaking X has an uphill battle to try and prove collusion. Brands are not competitors, they’re buyers. Outside of some outstanding finding that GARM and co. colluded with the likes of Facebook and Snapchat for kick backs or rate reductions, X doesn’t have a win here.

    The thing Poppa X does have is lots of money. So far that’s worked a little, the WFA has shut down GARM citing that the legal battle has “drained its resources and finances.” But the WFA and some of the brands they represent are still named (Unilever has settled - never heard of them) - do they have the cash to push back? WFA doesn’t, they’re a non-profit. The rest? Not sure.
