From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Caching.

[–] tubbadu@lemmy.kde.social 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Can I clear that cache? It scares me

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago

Try rebooting your router

[–] db2@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Probably. What does your dns and/or dhcp?

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Sooo basically a ghost :P

[–] db2@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

In the machine, yes.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 31 points 9 months ago

Its your router. (your router doesn't know you changed hostnames. All it sees is your Mac)

Dns caching

[–] Frederic@beehaw.org 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Reboot your router/DHCP server

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago

And you may want to use shorter DHCP leases in the future.

[–] nixx@lemmy.ca 9 points 9 months ago

DHCP?

Your old host registered an fqdn and did mnt remove it, then the new host registered the same ip to a different fqdn.

It happens

I have no idea what you are using for dhcp/dns but start by looking there
