Friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse, good morning and happy Sunday!

I've made some changes to our setup. Last week, there were some slowdowns in the services at BSD Cafe, especially in the #Mastodon instance. After investigating, I discovered that the issue was with the DNS resolution (it was the DNS! 😆 ).

I’ve now installed two jails with unbound on the two BSD Cafe VPSs. This allows us to perform all DNS resolutions locally with caching, so we don’t have to rely on external services.

This way, services like Mastodon or Matrix, which make extensive use of name resolution, can benefit from local caching and resolve domains autonomously.
