I'm playing with a Dell R7425 - I want to test it against my Dell R730. My usual test: How long does it take to build the ports I use via poudriere.
My first problem: I can't get DNS to work inside the new vnet jail (pkg02) I just created.
I have a working vnet jail to compare against (pkg01 on the Dell R730).
Based on tcpdump results, the requests from the pkg02 jail never leave the jail host. I don't know why yet.
BRB, comparing stuff again.
2 weeks until BSDCan 2026!
Get some poutine. Get some shawarma. Put it down with some Canadian beer.
While at it, attend some talks!
For instance, "Geographically fault-tolerant SSH on OpenBSD" by Rob Keizer where you'll learn to keep ssh alive when things go south.

I suspect that’s reading the package repos. it’s also what FreshPorts does:

I changed the iDRAC 9 password on this new-to-me Dell R7425 - now I can't get logged in.
Next time I'm in the basement, I'll get that fixed up.
