3.34 will be committed soon, if this entry appears as it should.

Today i shut down the last computer in my old flat. I have been using 213.225.30.218 for approximately 6 years and now i have to get used to new IP Addresses :(.

With all my computers in the new flat, it is time for a firewall. Since i now have more than one official IP address i decided to try a combination of if_bridge(4) and PF.
The bridge seems to work fine, but PF sometimes drops TCP packets, it should not drop. Yes even if pf.conf did contain only pass rules. Now i am updating to latest stable hoping for a fix.
Another problem i am struggling, nat from the third interface to bridge0 did not work out ot the box.

Lol, funniest commit today, I wonder why nobody noticed this before. And of course i would like to know which tool did this substitutions.

Today my red carpet was delivered, so my new flat is now ready for takeoff.

- I want one of those new black/red billa.at shirts, the Billa clerks are wearing nowadays. They look like a political statement about our new government, black shirts with a small red stripe.
- I felt like a Starmaniac today, when i nearly ran into Arabella Kiesbauer, while she was talking to her mobile on Wiedener Hauptstrasse.
- It is kind of funny seeing everyone in .at freaking out because of a 100km/h wind.
- I moved the last stuff out of my old appartment. So this means we are approximately 50% done with moving. Now i am waiting for my new carpet so i can finalize my computerroom's content.

Unfortunately inode delayed the activation of my telephone number for a week without explanation, from their shop's progress tracker it looks like they didn't receive a report from the TA technician and/or forgot to send a notification to Etel.
So i had a couple of spare time today reserved for configuring the telephone system.
I spent the time moving my shell- and secondary DNS/Mailserver to the new flat, which is next to moving the firewall the most difficult part of the transition.
