I bought a house. Yesterday was the settlement. I gave away some money, got a deed, and now I have a mortgage. Last night was an empty house party for a small group of friends and new neighbors. This morning I had a walk through the house with a finishing carpenter who is now retired.

It was May 2021 when I tweeted about monitoring FreeBSD jails which had jail IP addresses only in the 127.0.0.0/8 range. Yesterday, nearly 6 months later, I did the first test of this. This came up because I’m getting a new FreshPorts node ready. I’ve created a file in the jail to be run from
