Whilst I'm going old school with my #Freebsd laptop using ed(1) I've decided to try using less with source-highlight instead of using bat to see how I get on. I've always ignored less and really need to play about with it as I'm discovering that it's really rather good.

Shouts at past me for not investigating what was always right in front of me all along

OK, I spent the bulk of yesterday doing filesystem rejuggling, and reinstalling. But I now have #HaikuOS dualbooting with #FreeBSD, and they are both working with with the thunderbolt dock on this laptop wildly enough.

I really need to retheme that horrible default theme in the ReFind bootloader though...

Created a VM and a Jail in Sylve to try it out and see if it could replace Proxmox.

The network setup took me some time to figure out, but it works as a charm.

A new subnet to the LAN and the bridge / routing are done automatically.
Resource wise and performance are next to be tested.

For now? Very pleased with the setup

After spending half a day with CARP, iBGP, OSPFv3 and "pfsync" (pf state table synchronization), I now have seamless failover for my datacenter router working 🙂

Legacy-IP switches to a different provider assigned IP (I don't care!) while IPv6 stays exactly the same, without even dropping the SSH connection. 🥳

That was harder than I thought, but the result is absolutely amazing! My IPv6-network now survives when one node goes down, and IPv4 just switches over to anther egress NAT on another node.
