gollark: Well, I sort of can, using some iptables hackery, but that seems fragile and prone to breaking.
gollark: Even with *root access*, I can't apparently globally set DNS configuration persistently across boots.
gollark: Still waiting for GNU/Linux phones.
gollark: Android is really a pretty terrible platform if you go off the "happy path" of Google services everywhere, Play Store apps, shiny recent phones which actually get software updates, and not wanting to tweak anything beyond, well, wallpapers.
gollark: By 2030 phone backs will just be entirely cameras.
