@codemonkeymike Louis Rossman has spoken about this a LOT. It's absolutely awful.

First experience with #NixOS designing a hardware setup for a client's till system. Basically I just need a PC that will start up predictably, with recovery processes, and be reconfigured if necessary, all with the underlying control that those pesky users can't go messing around with things.
You know what, I don't think I could ever use it as my daily driver, but NixOS with a tiling window manager and web browser configured to run in kiosk mode and only to one URL seems to work nicely.
Next, probably set up syncthing to sync the configs between tills and run a cronjob for nixos-rebuild if the configuration has changed recently so I can ensure each till is exactly as it needs to be an that'll do it.

#FreeBSD folk - calling for your help!
Upgrading a server with broadcom NICs to 15.0-RELEASE causes VNET jails to stop resolving DNS names. Even trying direct drill freebsd.org fails. Can't even resolve local names.
Pinging IPs - fine. Just no DNS resolution.
Rolling back to 14.3 the jails work again.
Putting a different brand NIC in (i.e. Intel) also resolves the problem.
Seems to be a Broadcom only issue.
Fresh 15.0-RELEASE install has the same issue too.
I've had a forum discussion on the link below, where a lot of time was spent convincing people there's nothing wrong with my DNS servers
https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/broadcom-nic-leads-to-vnet-jails-being-unable-to-make-dns-requests.101534/#post-751758
Any help appreciated! (But I'm probably just going to buy some Intel NICs)
