   Enables DNSSEC (regardless of systemd-resolved not handling it properly),
   enables opportunistic DoT, caching and local DNS servers (because they
   should exist anyway as I don't trust systemd-resolved entirely. Anyway if
   there truly is no local resolver, systemd-resolved will detect that and act accordingly.)
