Just deployed @vikunja into productions after having tried a dozen other project 'management' tools... I haven't had this much _fun_ & ease organizing tasks since I discovered Asana over a decade ago. And I've tried OpenProj, Trello, Taiga, Basecamp, Leantime, Reminders.app, etc.

Vikunja, after an two hours of use, has:
- Really good keyboard integration
- No AI junk getting in my way
- #GANTT CHARTS - why does every other app think that died in the 90s, and/or that Kanban is the only way??? (It also does Kanban)
- SUPER fast and low-latency UI
- self-hosted, works air-gapped/offline
- #SQLite DB backed, because why would a glorified to-do list app need any more than that!?
- #Linux binary is running in Linux Compatibility on #FreeBSD, since building it natively seems impossible (can't build pnpm without pnpm)

A few things it could improve:
- configuration via YAML... many of those parameters could be in the DB, and managed via the GUI (ie: mail server, user registrations, etc)
- user management & administration
- endorse or disavow the 3rd party IOS app

Just migrated from a bhyve VM running Pi-hole to a Jail running Adguard Home.
Few of my 20 (!) clients are lagging behind but a proper rdr rule in pf does the trick.

It’s working great so far but the web GUI is lacking many info. Anyway it’s a win: same service quality (so far), easier maintenance, lower resources, and a Linux VM shut down.

Anyone knows about "good" reasons to not turn #FreeBSD local-unbound into a full #unbound resolver for the LAN?

I mean, the handbook says

Unbound is provided in the FreeBSD base system. By default, it will provide DNS resolution to the local machine only. While the base system package can be configured to provide resolution services beyond the local machine, it is recommended that such requirements be addressed by installing Unbound from the FreeBSD Ports Collection.

But both local-unbound and dns/unbound seem to be the same version. And the local one doesn't seem to be a binary-modified trimmed-down version of the port one. So, to me, badly configuring either ones would have the same impact.

latest weird problem: on FreeBSD/ppc64, running as a KVM guest on Linux, 'tcpdump -ni vtnet0' doesn't show any packets.

the network is working fine, the packets just don't appear in tcpdump.

how strange.
