I love how easy it is to integrate the tiny, standalone tools that make up s6 without having to commit to an entire init system. It's a great example of the benefits of the UNIX philosophy.


Now we need a DNS resolver with these properties.

I'm pretty sure any of them except systemd-resolved satisfy

Having tried similar things myself, I concur. One way to add a bit of sanity is to mandate running dnsmasq which has reasonable control interfaces, but it's overkill.
