Configuring the Centurylink-sold Technicolor C2100T DSL modem to use real DNS

Here's how to get real DNS set up on a Technicolor C2100T modem. This works at minimum when you're doing PPPoE (the usual method) on a C2100T modem sold or rented to you by Centurylink.

Motivation

When you look up a nonexistent domain name, proper DNS service tells you it doesn't exist by returning Nonexistent Domain (NXDOMAIN).

In contrast, even on business lines, Centurylink's DNS service will snipe NXDOMAIN. Centurylink's servers (nameservers at 205.171.2.25 & 205.171.3.25 at least) return a Centurylink web server IP addresses when you should be getting NXDOMAIN.

Here are the mods I recommend. These are all compatible with the latest versions of SMAPI and Stardew Valley on Linux/macOS/Windows. See the player's guide to using mods if you're interested.

Quality of life

I think the best mods are those which improve the game while maintaining its balance, lore, and style.

• AutoGate
  Gates open automatically when you approach and close behind you.

• Better Sprinklers Plus
  Customise the sprinkler radius, with a proportional change to their cost. If you're willing to mine all the ores you'll need, that makes the basic sprinklers useful early in the game and lets you do more than just watering crops every day.

Huh?

Some MacOS users have very cluttered Docks & wish they could organize them without removing any App icons from the mix.

This snippet will add an empty "spacer" that you can drag around and use to separate icons into groups! See example.

Command

Paste this into your Terminal. Run the command for additional placeholders!

# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.

# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.
