@vbatts Had to prove Gemini made reasonable work somehow.

I hate how browsers will use emojis for unicode characters requiring a unicode variation selector. I had no idea emojis were used for backlinks until an iPhone user showed me.

Unicode variation selectors

Stale bots that auto close issues are bs. Especially when they add "wontfix". Low priority =/= wont fix.
I went on Twitter. I saw a rage post and got angry. This was a mistake.

I was really thinking about switching my gaming PC to CachyOS but then I realized I don't play games much so the image based updates of Bazzite are the better option. Easier to just pull the new image then deal with broken updates.

TIL that ICMP packets being blocked really boils down to some firewalls not scanning them. This makes a lot more sense than the "network mapping" explanation.

Gotta appreciate it when a cyber expert is actually around and open to discussion. Helps get down the the real root of why things are done rather than the surface level explanations that don't clarify why added difficulties of working around this security posture make sense.

TrueNAS broke my update script due to API changes. Considering switching the system to straight FreeBSD and just handling with ansible but I'm not sure how much work that'll be.

automatic snapshots, tailscale, smb share. Shouldn't be to bad but my concerns if or when other things are needed. I'm a bit lazy on managing this one and no gui seems tedious

Read a blog post by a company yesterday about moving away from Proxmox to an FreeBSD based solution due to "operational hassles" with the former but never explained what the hassles were. I just realized today that they didn't mention it cause they were trying to sell their services. :/
@whitequark I'd have to look more into that hardware (I was thinking it was a Broadcom BCM95750X or the like) but my hunch is it's hardware offloading the entire network stack to NIC PCIe cards that can fully act as nodes of the cluster. Pin those network service pods to those PCIe cards and offload the entire network speeding it up.
