Okay. Time to wrangle IngramSpark dropship spreadsheets. Cover me, I'm going in. #n4sa2e

The #n4sa2e sponsor books have all been mailed (except for a couple problem cases) and are starting to arrive.
Which means I can probably tell folks about the #openzfsmastery sponsorship.

Dear UPS: I want to track my packages. I don't want to chat with your AI help agent. And I certainly don't want your AI help agent to complain when I close it.
My package isn't on my porch yet? Cool. That's all I needed. I'll check again in half an hour. Bye.
That's it. That's the interaction. In its entirety.
Truly, the interaction I'd like from UPS is "tell me when the truck is five minutes from my house, so I can go help the delivery dude haul 11 50-pound boxes of #n4sa2e hardcovers onto my porch."

okay. #n4sa2e book production is complete. Time to get on #openzfsmastery.
Which means seriously getting to grips with #bhyve.
Did some bhyve experimenting a couple weeks ago. Got FreeBSD installed just fine. Debian with ZFS, not so much.
So this week it's go back, one step at a time. Install base debian with grub, does it work? Then UEFI, then ZFS secondary disk, then root on ZFS.
This morning's install ends with a console saying:
grub>
The Debian installer wrote grub to disk, but... didn't configure it? Huh.
Time for some classic #sysadmin headdesking.

I'm setting up a new homelab dev server, and am seeing IPv6 connectivity problems, but no issue with IPv4.
Working through the prerelease of #n4sa2e by @mwl to troubleshoot, but I thought I'd also ask here...
Any troubleshooting tools I should try next? Both computers are on the same LAN, with 3 switches (Unifi and Cisco) in between them (they are in different rooms). No VLAN or router between them.
My initial hypothesis is that ndp is not working well on one of the switches and IPv6 packets don't know where to go "sometimes"...
Initial test between desktop and devserver (both running FreeBSD 14.3) - run ping for about 15 minutes (manually started and stopped in two terminal windows within a few seconds of each other)
desktop$ ping -6 devserver
--- devserver ping statistics ---
903 packets transmitted, 249 packets received, 72.4% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.092/235.931/2913.590/598.160 ms
desktop $ ping -4 devserver
--- devserver ping statistics ---
899 packets transmitted, 895 packets received, 0.4% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.096/0.241/0.529/0.035 ms
My next tests will be to have them both connected to the same switch, and see what is visible in the arp/ndp tables.
#n4sa2e #kickstarter backers: you got a message about ebooks!
I am happy with how the #n4sa2e Kickstarter went. No complaints, seriously!
I can't help wondering how the
campaign would have done if my government hadn't been actively crashing society, however.

I'm already pretty miserable.
Might as well work on this index. #n4sa2e

Five days left on the "Networking for System Administrators" #Kickstarter. Backers get two bonus Unix books so far. It might be more. Depends on how high it goes.
If you're a #sysadmin sick of fighting with the network team, this book will help you. #n4sa2e

The "Networking for System Administrators" #Kickstarter broke $20k! All backers get not one, not two, but THREE #sysadmin books!
Thanks, everyone!

One week left on the "Networking for System Administrators" #Kickstarter!
Back it and also get a free ZFS book, plus we're super close to a free SSH book.
