Hmm, I don't even know #WTF this is

% netstat -rn -f inet | grep 169
169.254 link#14 UCS en0 !
169.254.169.254 link#14 UHLSW en0 !

But apple seems to have ""fixed" something about it in a #macOS beta. Although I don't like betas, maybe this is the thing messed up all my networking on the latest #Sequoia on my #M2Pro #MacMini -- which unfortunately was not backed up so that I can't downgrade
