   Dry ran the guide with a fresh NetBSD (10.1) installation, built with zmq, and tested zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28334 with an adhoc python zmq client (as expected, saw the topic, block hash, and sequence arrive when generating blocks in regtest with -generate).

   0import zmq
   1context = zmq.Context()
   2socket = context.socket(zmq.SUB)
   3socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:28334")
   4filter = "hashblock"
   5socket.setsockopt_string(zmq.SUBSCRIBE, filter)
   6while True:
   7    print(socket.recv().hex())
   

   Also successfully ran the functional test suite (python). Had to create a symlink (python3 –> python3.10).

   Thank you for reviewing!

   A symlink won’t be necessary after #31541.
