Thunderbolt Networking

this gist is part of this series

NOTE FOR THIS TO BE RELIABLE ON NODE RESTARTS YOU WILL NEED PROXMOX KERNEL 6.2.16-14-pve OR HIGER

This fixes issues i bugged with the thunderbolt / thunderbolt-net maintainers (i will take everyones thanks now, lol)

Install LLDP - this is great to see what nodes can see which.

• install lldpctl with apt install lldpd

Using Nerd Fonts in PowerShell

I've been recommending people use NerdFonts in their terminals for a while, but using the extra characters ends up being rather a pain. I have to look up characters in their web cheat-sheet, and then I either end up with a whole bunch of "$([char]0xf1ed)$([char]0xf00d)" in my profile scripts, which is impossible to read, or I have to translate the hex to decimal so I can type the ALT codes in my editor...

So today I fixed it, using PANSIES (the PowerShell ANSI Escape Sequences module).

PANSIES has &entities;

In PANSIES output (i.e. via the Write-Host, or by using New-Text in a string), you can embed named entities like in html. But unlike HTML, Pansies entities are extensible. So I wrote a little script to re-use the css names for the nerd-font characters and generate entities.

My preferred code style is 2-space K&R. This is intended to provide a justification for this style.

Why K&R?

K&R style has the following properties:

1. Provides symmetric size (in terms of screen space consumed) between the opening and closing syntax of a clode block.
2. Forces no empty or meaningless lines, thereby avoiding artificial distance between related things that should be together.
3. Consumes the minimum vertical space while keeping the opening and closing syntax of a block on separate lines from the content.
