How do I get the URL of the remote repository that [pacman](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman) uses to get packages?- I know that I can tell pacman which server to use by editing `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`. But in my case, all of the lines are commented out and given that a command like `pacman -Syu` *still* works, I'm wondering which server pacman contacts to update the system.
