Hi there, I'm Darryl from Malaysia, a systems administrator for a few decades..I started to get back into FreeBSD about a year ago..a friend of mine needed help setting up a new email server for personal use..and I decided to take up the challenge, brushing up my skills along the way..

After looking at what solutions were available, I decided to go with iRedMail..

Over the course of setting up iRedMail, my dormant interest started to grow more and more, thinking what could FreeBSD do now that it couldn't do back then.. overtime I grew passionate about this, started to explore other things, then landed on self-hosting which seems to be a big thing and decided to jump it..

As of date, I have a few self-hosted stuff running where I solely maintain them..pretty fun stuff, then got to know about #BoxyBSD and it's community and decided to stick around and contribute there a bit and to my surprise, I was offered a VM from them 🙂

The next thing I had on my todo list, was getting CLAT(464XLAT) to work on FreeBSD as I'm a big fan of IPv6 and try to use it everywhere I can as priority..then I discovered that there was a new maintainer for Tayga and decided to jump in..after a few back and forth replies I finally got it to work, on the #BoxyBSD instance I had 🙂

I then set this up on all my v6-only VM's/VPS's and it's been working with no issues so far..

Overtime I continue to fine tune things I already have, and find new things to learn/do..

The community at large is pretty great, tons of people involved and it just continues to grow..

That's all about me 🙂
