University of Toronto ☛ Tailscale's surprising interaction of DNS settings and 'exit nodes'
As of today, if you use a Tailscale exit node, all of your DNS traffic is routed to the exit node regardless of Tailscale DNS settings. This applies to both DNS servers for specific subdomains and to any global DNS servers you've set for your tailnet (due to, for example, 'split horizon' DNS). Currently this is documented only in one little sentence in small type in the "Use Tailscale DNS settings" portion of the client preferences documentation.

Attempt to setup openSUSE Tumbleweed via Agama Installer
My major concern during this test was to customize virtual disk layout with LVM support during partitioning phase. Everything worked fine for me when I kept names of LVMs as was suggested by Agama installer. Classical Tumbleweed installer does allow to assign any desired LVMs names . In meantime time it seems to me that Agama doesn't inherit this feature. VM deployed with updated default LVMs names for root "/" and "/home" file-systems failed to reboot. I don't insist that it was a bug it might be some wrong step on my side.

Mastodon: How to configure custom signup questions
The Mastodon instance eupolicy.social is geared towards people who identify themselves as part of the EU Bubble. Purposfully, there is no definition provided and indeed the instance is a bit flexible on what EU Bubble would mean.
To help the instance keep this focus (and avoid spam), the admins have opted for approval-based registration of signups. New users can during their signup process provide some text about themselves. To make this more relevant, eupolicy.social decided to customise the text that instructs the users to describe their relation with the instance.
