For the one-hand handful of us running #9front routers, my first real C program in many years, relay, is now up on http://shithub.us/flowerss/relay/HEAD/info.html
It’s a simple hostname-based HTTP/HTTPS relay in the vein of relayd from OpenBSD or haproxy. It allows you to expose multiple backend web services through a single ip address. It even has round robin load balancing.

Au contraire, mon frère!
#FreeBSD has a handbook that covers almost every basic config situation you'd face.
#OpenBSD has man pages covering nearly everything
I haven't gotten very deep into #NetBSD, but I'm sure its documentation is on point.
#9front has... 9front has... 9front has some very nice people on fedi who will tell you turn back now while there's still time 😂
The documentation experience on Linux is various forum posts telling you to try various things, none of which work, and maybe some obtuse documentation text file on kernel.org. Egad.

Various #FOSS OS communities' reactions to joining them:
#Linux: "Hey, welcome to the fam! Here's a stack of CDs I burned, see which one boots for you."
#FreeBSD: "Hey, we're glad you're here! Here's an amazing handbook to get you started, holler if you need a hand!"
#NetBSD: "Of course it runs NetBSD! Welcome! :D"
#OpenBSD: "Don't expect a lot of hand-holding, but we're all having fun with it, and hopefully you will enjoy the process, too."
#9front: "Are... you... sure you want to do this?"
😆
(For the record, I love them all. I only regret I haven't had much of a chance to play with #Haiku, or interact with that community, yet!)

I can't see my problem trying to connect from my #9front laptop to an #openSUSE sPC via ssh. The ssh command returns a "read1: eof" error.
I regenerate the RSA key with a 4096 bytes size and that isn't the problem. 😞
I can connect from other OS to that computer. It seems the problem is in the ssh client because it can't connect to other openSSH servers.
