Hmm I think he was talking about Peter's DNS seed, which you disable with dnsseed=0. But you don't connect to all seeds iirc (unless that changed and I missed it (which would be bad)).
From the 1000 or so hardcoded nodes in fixed seeds, your node picks a couple (randomly) until you have a sizable address book of peers of your own, then doesn't use them anymore.
got it, thanks. But if I do both dnsseed=0 and fixedseeds=0 I would need to provide a node to connect to, otherwise my node wouldn't know how to find a peer, right?

You can turn that off too with
fixedseeds=0.
