Dr. Brian CallahanA new <a href="https://bsd.network/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#blog</a> post appears!I discovered that the GNU D compiler has been broken on FreeBSD 14 for over a year and it seems no one noticed.

SamOk so, please explain it like I’m five, <a href="https://social.coop/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BSD</a> folx. Let’s say I wanted to leave ipv4 behind in my homelab, both internal network services and services exposed to the wider internet. Could I decide “I’m an ipv6 guy” and just not mess with ipv4 and NAT etc?For context, I am a generalist that occasionally cosplays as a sysadmin and don’t really understand either standards in a complete way. <a href="https://social.coop/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenBSD</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NetBSD</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/DragonflyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DragonflyBSD</a>

Pierre-Alain TORETI have this little machine based on a i5-3570T with 32G of memory in my basement. I thought it would be cool to experiment and to give it a purpose and why not offer some <a href="https://snac.toret.fr?t=dragonflybsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DragonFlyBSD</a> based jails and vms.
