#BoxyBSD chat is now also available in #irc!

People asked for old school possibilities to take part on the BoxyBSD chat and here we go! Finally, you can also simply join #BoxyBSD on Libera (next to your #FreeBSD channels)! This bridge was written by @gyptazy to support additional chat communications.

Important: This IRC channel is bridged between #Discord and #Matrix to have a unified communications flow without splitting the community. If you don't like Discord, please don't join this channel!

The af-to in #OpenBSD #PF is so flexible that it allows you to host IPv4 services within a #IPv6 only network, only requiring dual-stack on the firewall/router. The 'pass' rule even allows for selective port decisions on where the IPv4 address might be used for other IPv4 only services #BSD:

pass in on $ext_if inet proto tcp to (egress:0) port 12345 af-to inet6 from 2001:db8:dead:beef::1 to 2001:db8:dead:beef::/96 port ssh

Just upgrade a VM of mine running #FreeBSD 14.3 to 15.0 RELEASE, all went well in probably 20 minutes. Super fast, dead simple, and not frightening at all thanks to #ZFS BE backups. It felt so easy that I am even a bit bored.
