Interesting to see OpenBSD continuing to gain hardware support. I've been running it on a small home server for DNS/DHCP and the stability is remarkable. The man years of auditing really show.

Pretty much any OS would be just as stable if it's just serving DNS/DHCP.

  As someone who has run DNS and DHCP servers... unfortunately, no. Shit happens, and choices still do matter. Even if it feels it should be simple, Linux has a way. My experience has been that Openbsd is rock solid, so are its implementations of the relevant server daemons.

    > Even if it feels it should be simple, Linux has a way. As someone who has run DNS and DHCP servers for over 30 years and continues to do so, this just feels like confirmation bias based on your personal anecdotes. If there's an issue, it's likely due to messy over-complicated distros. Alpine is no less solid than OpenBSD.

    Nah, whenever I'm involved in a cloud cost audit, I routinely find boring unfashionable Ubuntu and RHEL servers someone forgot about with 5 year uptimes.

    Going off of "data" from r/uptimeporn I can only conclude that Cisco makes the most stable software of all time.

"Interesting" Is this an AI-generated comment It was originally [flagged] and [dead]

  It's a new account, and by default new accounts have their posts flagged/dead I think? FWIW my guess is you're right - this user looks like a bot based on this comment and their other one; I've noticed that somewhat-vacuous praise for a post is a bot tendency. Although it's also a human tendency, so maybe too soon to tell. What a world.
