And yet, still no universal support for IPv6, and the droplets that do get it only get 16 addresses. Yes, I am going to complain every time DO comes up in the news until this is fixed.
Pardon my naivety, but why do you need more than 16 addresses per droplet?
As a web developer who knows enough Linux to do minimum dev-ops, could anyone recommend some things worth playing around with in FreeBSD? Like "do this and see how easy it is vs Ubuntu!". Or are the gains more long term like better stability?
What kind of IPv6 allocation do they provide?
I mean, what kind of company links directly to blog entries, with incomplete and outdated information, all across their web-site?
Ain't nobody got time to read the blog comments and figure out what's the current status of stuff is.
Should have gone with OpenBSD instead to be honest. Half the requests on your UserVoice are for OpenBSD. All the coolest stuff in FreeBSD comes from OpenBSD. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL, and the NTP rewrite Ope…
Note that the package system used by OpenBSD is explicitly borrowed from FreeBSD.
Just deployed a FreeBSD droplet and I'm not sure if it's just because the host network is busier than my other droplets, but I seem to be getting about half the network performance that I can in a default linux droplet. They are using Virtio, which is good since it doesn't require hardware emulation like the E1XXX devices on KVM. I should probably use a better test than cachefly but just wondering if theres any known…
I am also seeing really poor write speeds when comparing to my Linux droplets. 11MB/sec vs. 216MB/sec on Linux
Do they support IPv6? The IPv6 link from their list of features page just links to their blog entry about Singapore. What kind of IPv6 allocation do they provide?
I'd love if someone explained it.

My reasons for using FreeBSD are a little more philosophical: - I want to have a stable base O/S to which I can always easily return. - I want to be able to customize installed packages in an easily scalable way. - I want a server O/S to be simple to maintain, relative to Windows or Solaris. - I want the goddamned documentation installed. During development it's difficult to get RHEL or Ubuntu back to a known-good se…
> I cut my teeth on NeXTSTEP, SunOS 4, and Slackware Linux That's the real reason. Everything else is rationalization added later. (Don't get me wrong, I've also started on Slackware. But sometimes you need to break old habits to learn something new.)

Thanks! I'm a long time FreeBSD vps user. It'd be great to check if DO droplets can support CARP failover within the same datacentre, and then expand to be able to do this across datacentres. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/carp.html My use cases so far haven't involved CARP but I'd like to start experimenting with that!
Any recommendations of other BSD VPS providers?
