I uninstalled my last own FreeBSD server (I still am in charge of one for a local community who wants to do it themselves one day) last night, replacing it with another OpenBSD server. There are too many crashes and “surprising behaviors” in recent FreeBSDs (and, as this is a production server, I missed another opportunity to run NetBSD on anything).

The most annoying problem was to get ZNC running. As it turns out, IO::Socket won’t play well with LibreSSL, requiring separate listeners for IPv4 and IPv6. Try to find issues like this on your own!

Also, I successfully (?) fought relayd for the first time. I sincerely hope that I won’t have to do this too often.
