C Template Library
I recall a few years back doing something like this implementing a binary heap just as a hobby project (https://github.com/Equationist/ctl/blob/master/pqueue.h). I was curious to see how unoptimized it was vis a vis the STL, and ran compiled equivalent test code for both my priority queue and the STL's C++ implementation, with just integers. I was kind of shocked to find that my implementation was like 30% faster when both were compiled at -O3 levels. Seeing this backport I guess there isn't anything fancy in the STL implementations, so it's less surprising that my naive implementation could be just as fast (or happen to be faster).

Pulling My Hair Out Over Netplan
u/GamerLymx The setup goal was, originally, to set this up as a desktop testing router using FRRouting so I could experiment with some technologies I work with, namely OpenFabric without having to buy a $6k switch (Extreme Networks) as well as OSPF and EIGRP. However, I ran into some issues with setting up FRRouting and could not find sufficient information out there to overcome those. So I decided to just turn it into a plain router using NFTables, etc., when I ran into the issues with Netplan.

FRRouting and NordVPN
Has anyone ever setup FRRouting to connect to a consumer VPN such as NordVPN? I have been Googling but have come up empty so I am assuming it is not something that can be done. Just the same, I thought I would ask in case I am asking the question wrong in my searches.

OSPFv3 with opnsense and cisco 3925
Right, so it turns out that FRR (the routing plugin for opnsense) doesn't support multiple address familys in ospfv3. It is down as a feature request here and is closed as issue #303.
