    I would also like a word with “bonjour” process while we’re at it.

    Thought it was a virus when I first discovered it.

      Idk what all it does and doesn’t do, but installing it in Windows lets you find your Raspberry Pi by its “.local” hostname. I know it was originally for printers or something.

      That was what caused duplicates on setting the printer as default on dad’s PC. Just disable active scanning for new printers in the config. Was quite some detective work with examining the service file and recursively grepping /etc for variable names multiple times.

      Isn’t bonjour the reason that devices like printers famously worked so much better on Mac than windows? I feel like I read an article about that like a decade or two ago.
