I've expanded the #FreeBSD handbook with a section about #zeroconf and #Avahi. (#mDNS, #DNSSD).

Feedback welcome!

#Freifunk Firmware v0.18 für #Lübeck wurde letztes Wochenende ausgerollt. Nun auf Basis von #Gluon v2023.2.1 und somit #OpenWrt 23.05, sowie #batman_adv v2024.0.

Es gibt viele neue Geräte, darunter auch welche mit WiFi 6 oder mit LTE support. Ein paar kleine Fixes bzgl. #Multicast waren auch dabei, #mDNS sollte so nun zuverlässiger funktionieren.

Mehr dazu in unserem Blogpost: https://luebeck.freifunk.net/blog/2024-02-23-announce-v0.18/

I used to use a #Firefox addon for #DNSSD (DNS service discovery) / #mDNS ages ago. Where I could click a button in my toolbar to list all websites discovered via mDNS. This one does not seem to work for me: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mdns-discover/
Does anyone know an alternative addon for Firefox? Would be nice for our #Freifunk network at @ffhl where we enabled/allowed mDNS again. #Multicast
