I found to how to answer that question was a less than satisfying “well install tcpdump everywhere, dump the contents to a docker volume

My FreeBSD Laptop Build
I have always liked Thinkpad hardware and when I started to do more commuting I decided I needed something that had a decent sized screen but fit well on a bus.
