LOL, fair enough. Feel free to yell at me for this third question and
tell me to start a new thread.

How do you recommend I should proceed in diagnosing these "ndp info
overwritten" messages? It seems bizarre they started out of nowhere.
Before May 2, I didn't have any; but since, I get them every 90 minutes
or so.

There is nothing that stands out in my logs that would suggest it was
a software, hardware, or configuration change on my end. I changed
hardware in March. I upgraded to OpenBSD 7.3 in late April. The first
patch for 7.3 was a day after the first message. I upgraded my BIOS/UEFI
in June. I haven't changed my DOCSIS 3.1 modem. There were no reboots
around that time. I am still with the same ISP.

I found this from @bugs:
https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=165130576328299&w=2

but I have always had "allow-opts" for both ingress and egress ICMPv6
traffic, so Otto Moerbeek's workaround is not applicable.

I tried the opposite (i.e., removing "allow-opts") as a shot in the
dark, and it unsurprisingly didn't fix the problem (assuming there is
one).

I do recall helping the maintainer/creator of my DHCPv6 client, dhcpcd,
around that time fix some other bugs; however my logs show that was a
few hours after the first "ndp info overwritten" message. Nonetheless,
I temporarily replaced the current version of dhcpcd which contains
several bug fixes with the older version that is part of the -release
packages. Even with that version, I was still getting these messages.
Can you provide any guidance?
