People keep asking for free VPS / VMs and I’m evaluating a good spot for reopening the registration at @BoxyBSD@bsd.cafe
I think #FOSDEM might be a perfectly good slot to provide people BSD based systems for free again.

Just published: how I migrated the Mastodon instance burningboard.net to a multi‑jail FreeBSD setup with BastilleBSD. Central PF firewall, real dual‑stack, and clean service separation.

Ever messed up an update? We got you covered! Simply restore your Snapshot!
You can now also manage (create, delete, restore) a snapshot of your Box! If you ever messed up your application, OS update or anything else - simply go back to your last snapshot and try again! This way, you can test and learn #BSD even better and easier!

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
I've been trying for 2 months to write a blog post about this but I just can't seem to get the words to flow, so here's a toot.
This was a talk at the SouthEast LinuxFest in June 2010. It set me on my #IPv6 journey.

It is 2025. This is absolutely unacceptable, especially from a multi-billion-dollar media conglomerate.
It's especially unacceptable given that they can control whether or not their client app is using IPv6 by configuring their resolver to not request AAAA records.
Streaming off their website works fine. Streaming with their Android app on a Google TV Streamer doesn't work on an IPv6-supporting internet connection.

Sto provando #Tyr
- P2P Email
https://apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.jbselfcompany.tyr
Questo fa da server di posta locale (invio e ricezione) e invece che usare #TCP usa una rete #P2P over #IPv6 #mesh (Yggdrasil - https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go)
#Yggdrasil is an early-stage implementation of a fully end-to-end encrypted IPv6 network. It is lightweight, self-arranging, supported on multiple platforms.
The Internet needs to move over (from IPv4) to IPv6.
If for nothing else, to make it easier to get a static IP address.
(Although there are some other nice features of IPv6.)
(I remember people talking about IPv6 back in the mid- to late 1990s — and more than 3 decades later, the IPv4 to IPv6 switch over is still in progress.)

Frustrating to see new #IETF drafts and mailing list discussions etc. continuing to use legacy IPv4 in the examples with no mention of #IPv6
Normalize IPv6 by using it in your documentation and examples. The same goes for #OpenSource projects.
It would be nice if, at least within the IETF standards body itself, we could start dancing like it's 1998 🕺

Following requests are not going through.
Other admins told me that they needed to make sure that the backend services could communicate outbound via #IPv6
