And not only that, @rsmarples is one of the nicest devels I've met. He is always willing to help his users, answer every question (no matter how dumb the question, and I know for my own experience 😜 ) explain how to configure, use and make the most out of #dhcpcd , always with the utter most patience and the nicest attitude. A great guy no matter how you look at him.

So there you go: my public acknowledgement, appreciation and thank "you" Roy!

Just read a toot about how #DHCP "is a sort of magic ... done properly" and found the perfect excuse to do something that I wanted to do for the longest time:

A massive thank you and *really loud* shout out to @rsmarples for all the hard work, heart and soul that you put into your wonderful software: #dhcpcd !

Thank you for solving me so many problems so many times with your marvellous piece of software. I could no longer let your wonderful work go unnoticed ! 🤗 🥳 🍻 🥳 🤗

I have a simple /etc/dhcpcd.exit-hook which reloads #npf on #netbsd when #dhcpcd updates. It should really also check $reason and only do it for IP changes, but this was the "fewest moving parts" option :)

#!/bin/sh

case "$interface" in
lo[0-9]* | tun[0-9]*) exit;;
esac

/etc/rc.d/npf reload

#RFC - #NetBSD systems using #dhcpcd starting/stopping services

(Fishing for thoughts/advice)

I have a few small servers which get Internet via dhcpcd, but also need to run some network services on the same interface. (Various combinations of openvpn, ntp{,date}, samba, syncthing, unifi etc)

Some of these services are "safe to start" without Internet access (syncthing, samba), and others (openvpn) really need to only start after Internet is available (and in some cases shutdown when its down)

So one upgrade later and we have Mosquitto V2 😀 courtesy of Bullseye via https://linuxhint.com/upgrade-raspberry-pi-os-buster-to-bullseye/ with one minor glitch - no network following boot which turned out to be an error in the dhcpcd systemd file fix courtesy of https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/133376/fix-error-failed-to-start-dhcp-client-daemon-after-upgrade-to-bullseye-remot
Thank heavens for internet search. #Debian #Raspbian #Mosquitto #MQTT #dhcpcd

Is there a way to add a 2nd, static IP address to an IF with lower priority than the first, EUI-64 address? Host system is Debian. Manually adding using `ip addr add` prefers the statically added one. #IPv6 #dhcpcd #systemd #Followerpower

#dhcpcd is going to need a new maintainer :(

@vanion #gentoo am Start, mit...
#OpenRC als Init-System,
#alsa für Sound,
#metalog als Log-Daemon,
#fcron als Cron-Daemon,
Nertwerkmanagement über #dhcpcd und #wpa_supplicant,
#Xorg als Window-Manager,
#sddm als Desktop-Manager,
#xfce4 als Desktopumgebung.

Currently working on setting #ipv6 native again on my router.

It required patching #dhcpcd with the dev' himself, and I still have some bugs. But on the good path !
