Migrated a few more things onto the mesh overlay, specifically metrics scrapes and the MQTT connection for my HVAC integration.

I also changed how the underlay network gets set up a little bit. Now every host uses an identical radvd config to advertise the same #IPv6 prefix. Still trying to figure out a little bit of weirdness around preferred lifetime, though.

Last night instead of going to bed I forgot about daylight saving time and added a statically defined #ipv6 #wireguard mesh between my #homelab servers.

Now I can use that instead of #tailscale for the secure data plane. Tailscale is great and I'll probably keep it for the management plane. The way it aggressively idles connections combined with the first packet seemingly always hitting a DERP server makes stuff feel a lot slower than it should.
