Toot

Yesterday evening I spent over an hour trying to diagnose why FreeBSD wouldn't create the bridge0 interface I specified in /etc/rc.conf not matter what I did.

Today I've took another look at it and noticed the following error in my /etc/rc.conf:

cloned_interfaces="bridge0"
ifconfig_re0="up"
ifconfig_bridge0_ipv6="inet6 auto_linklocal accept_rtadv addm re0"
...
cloned_interfaces="lo1" # 🤡 
ifconfig_lo1_name="bastille0"

Reminded me of what a teacher of mine used to say:

"The problem usually sits in front of the screen"
