Today in "#systemd ruins everything", Jan learns that systemd-resolve...

- runs a proxy DNS server on 127.0.0.53 (which is in /etc/resolv.conf)
- uses it's own /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
- will read and cache /etc/hosts regardless of what /etc/nsswitch.conf says (`ReadEtcHosts` defaults to `yes` in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf)

Applications that follow traditional libc resolver logic now will continue to get /etc/hosts results even if /etc/nsswitch.conf excludes 'files'.

🤦‍♂️
