that's a wrap on summer 2025 and it's about time to get that homelab in shape again (it has not really been it since I moved into a house last year).

When on summer vacation in Italy we were a couple of days in the Liguria region. The bartender asked what the next destination would be "Grosseto, oh no.. ya'll be eaten by mosquitos over there!"
Well, it was very evident that he never visited Sweden. Five minutes were like five days in Grosseto. 🦟

Four weeks of AFK and procrastination.. now I'm back at the rabbit hole.
I've had a technical debt since "a while" - my primary WAN is on pfSense (in bhyve in OmniOS).. but I think it's about time now to do something about it. OPNSense is my natural contestant for running in a virtual appliance..

I've been a pfSense (CE) user for a couple of years, a bit skeptical the last 2-3 years - this release note alone do tell me that I should instead put my effort on migrating to OPNsense during my vacation and never look back. docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/l...
