This would be an IPv4 link-local [0] address. Correctly naming things is always the first step to taking control over them: casting spells and that ;-) Setting that up is zeroconf's [1] job, which, AFAIK, is actually done by the avahi daemon. I can't check it myself, because my box has no avahi. But if you know how the thing's called, you can throw your spells at a search engine (hopefully not the one of survellance capitalism, but I disgress ;-) and find things like [2]. It tells you how to convince different systems to not do that; under Debian, this would be putting AVAHI_DAEMON_DETECT_LOCAL=0 into some /etc/default/avahi-daemon. No need to rm it. But if it satisfies you, you're your box's boss :) I just don't install it. Cheers -- t
