Cloud-init is fairly well documented:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/network-config-format-v2.html#nameservers-mapping

But if you do not need it (and if you're configuring DNS by hand, it doesn't sound like you do), you can disable it entirely:

https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/disable_cloud_init.html

resolv.conf itself should be managed by systemd-resolved on any modern Ubuntu Server release. And that service will use the DNS settings provided by netplan.

With cloud-init disabled, you should have the freedom to create/edit configuration files in /etc/netplan and apply changes with netplan apply.

Yes.

Interview with Mike McMahan

“There’s one line I cut at the end of this episode when the Vendorians show up and they’re like, ‘Give them a little minute.’ Originally, they said ‘… after this, it gets a lot harder for them.”’ The Vendorians kind of know where it goes and I cut it in the edit because it was such a beautiful friendship moment at the end of the episode. I didn’t want to fly in the ointment at the end, it just felt wrong. It felt right on the page, but people are only going to have to wait a week to find out for themselves to see it… It’s better to end on a happy note.”

That's more of Brother doing things correctly. Mine automatically shows up on all my Windows systems too.

Clearly if you turn the image upside-down, it is a Whale-Gnome-Dustbuster-Pharaoh in the architectural style of the Goa'uld/Ancient Ancients with a blowhole-mouth surprise.

But I'm leaning toward Dustbuster, now that we know it's Hoovering up ships.

I feel compelled to point out this important bit of context for anyone who doesn't read the paper:

Overall, based on the four environmental indicators used in this study, home-washed reusable nappies have the potential for the least environmental impact if washed in a water-efficient front￾loading washing machine in cold water, and line-dried.

The UK study similarly found that colder water and line-drying would sufficiently reduce the carbon footprint to a lower level than disposables.

But seriously? Who does that?

For regular clothing, where you can use a more powerful detergent? Sure.

But for something that goes directly against your child's most sensitive skin, which will need to be laundered with gentle detergent?

Maybe we can find a paper on how to do all that without heat but with proper sanitation? Remember, laundry detergent is designed to clean, but not necessarily to sanitize.

I'll see if I can find some better ones. This was just the first one I plucked out of a random citation, because I knew I would get eviscerated without one. But I've been seeing the advice about disposables as far back as I can remember. It was even a trick question in an eco quiz when I was a child back in the 90s (i.e. "Which of these things are better ecological choices?").

Interestingly the 2006 study itself is an updated version. Disposables did even better in the 2006 study than in the older one: Due to advances in manufacturing and in materials science, they were able to start producing them using less material (which decreases the carbon footprint during manufacturing, shipping, and disposal).

Ironically Costco is a certified Top Tier brand.

The linked study includes disposal in their calculations. Disposables still come out ahead.

First you need to address your mental health

The stations that carry it tend to only carry one brand to begin with. The owner of that brand is generally the one that pays, as they have to submit for testing at their own expense.

It's not always more expensive. All Costco gas is Top Tier, for instance.

They require the brand to use the 2x detergent level for every grade, at every location, to display the Top Tier logo.

I go through a tank of gas every 1-2 days. When I don't fill with Top Tier, my fuel economy goes down on that tank. When I consistently don't fill with Top Tier, my fuel economy goes down even on my next tank of Top Tier. That's when it's time to throw in a bottle of polyetheramine (Techron, Redline, Gumout Regane, etc.) to clean things up.

DI engines unfortunately require deeper, periodic cleaning, as the additive will not reach the valves. But I do not have a DI engine, so the detergent makes a significant difference.

It particularly makes a difference in how often I have to (or do not have to) replace lifters to keep them in spec. This engine has solid, non-adjustable lifters.

Top Tier is about detergent pack, not about regular versus premium, so I'm not sure why you bring that up. Top Tier requires 2x the EPA mandated minimum detergent.
