Same with the miniature furniture they give you in pizza boxes. I only ever seem to get the tables.

Jimmy Buffett

• Released over 30 albums since the early 1970s, of which nine were multi-platinum
• Worth over $500m when he died in 2023
• To the best of my knowledge, never even on the radar in the UK or Europe.

I grew up in the UK in the 80s & 90s, which seems to be the period he was really becoming huge in the US, and I had never heard of him until he died a couple of years ago.

I’ve had similar problems in the past - apparently no internet connection, and both times I narrowed it down to the machine being unable to resolve domain names.

Turns out Tailscale had changed the IP address for the machines’ DNS resolution in resolv.conf to 100.100.100.100

That’s fine when the machine is connected to Tailscale but not when it isn’t!

Reverting the DNS IP back to whatever it was previously, or to something like 1.1.1.1 solved the problem for me, at least to the extent that it could resolve URLs again.

Worth a look, if only to rule it out…?
