Typing this on a cramped flight, but I was having issues connecting to the plane's wifi on my ubuntu laptop, when it was effortless on my phone.
The issue I was having was the Laptop WiFi connected to the plane wifi network, but captive portal wouldn't load. Turns out systemd-resolved was using Docker's DNS instead of the network gateway. Luckily I brought Qwen with me, the agent found a nmcli fix in seconds, and the portal loaded soon after! Could this have been avoided by me somehow not fucking it up in the first place? Probably, but ignore my incompetence for now, I'm not a super technical linux guy.
Anyways I'm quite thankful, this would have been a bit of a boring 5 hr flight otherwise.
Cheers to the Qwen team from up high! :)
