This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.
Let’s begin.
First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:
Concept 1
In a previous post
I explained how to manage Neovim plugins with Nix and Home Manager.
In this post I want to go further and show how to migrate Neovim configuration
from ~/.config/nvim to ~/.config/home-manager entirely. The end result will
be to split our Neovim setup into multiple modules that colocate plugin sourcing
and configuration.
If you haven't read the post linked above, do so now. We will assume the

The programmer's text editor is therefore extended to support managing additional software to extend the text editor. If this loop continues for too long, the programmer's editor becomes more delicate and complex. The remedy for this problem is to manage software using dedicated tools apart
