I bought a refurbished SFF PC and put a PCIe NIC in it. Installed opnSense.

Cheap as chips. Supremely powerful.

I still double-check my CIDR’s/netmasks and expected ranges with a tool (some online one or other). Easier to avoid silly mistakes or typo’s

TL;DR: it depends entirely on the DHCP server software.

Generally the safe/reliable policy is to assign a smaller DHCP range (or ranges) and allocate static assignments outside of the DHCP range(s).

Assume your network is 192.168.1.0/24.

Specify 192.168.1.128/25 for DHCP, which means all DHCP addresses will be above 192.168.1.128.

This leaves you everything below 192.168.1.127 for static assignments.

Amazing. I get there’s some atlassian bullshittery behind that.

There’s also a draw.io (diagrams.net) plugin for intellij and probably eclipse.

I’ve used coreos happily on homelab bare metal.

PXE booting it with cloudinit/ignition automation for provisioning.

It’s make for an excellent VPS.

They do!

See their Era, Mood, Ridge, Terra cases.

The man page has a good example.

That scene was the singular best piece of television in history.

May be with the Galactica jumping into and ramming the Cylon colony later on a close second.

I can weather the weaker parts of a story for the stong parts to shine beside. It’s all good.

Weeeeellll, mostly it’s all because Cavill is a sadist ;-)

I always like to tell my BSG story.

1. Watch mini series, it’s good
2. Don’t get into the rest, forget about it
3. Come home one day to flat mate watching it on DVD, just as the Galactica jumps into the atmosphere on New Caprica and jumps out again.
4. Me: “I need to watch this from the start”
5. Flat mate ejects the disc right then and there and inserts the first disc of the first season.
6. We watch it every night until the end

Best TV ever made.

Each to their own.

I loved the ending, but that doesn’t mean you have to.

1. Download image
2. Flash to USB
3. Reboot
4. Follow instructions

May he have itchy toenails.

I’m really appreciating your use of &c.

Are you in the nineteenth century by any chance?

Yet.

As IPv4 blocks get scarcer and ISP’s get more customers, they’ll all eventually have to move to IPv4 CGNAT.

And that’s completely fine for most people.

If you’re not one of those people, then IPv6 is your saviour.

Had a similar incident with my son’s hand-me-down laptop. It just sits on a desk with a monitor and what-not plugged into it. It’s now a wide flat desktop.

Don’t set the static IP within the DHCP range (well you can, but it then depends on how smart your dhcp server is, just avoid the situation).

You run a risk of the same IP being assigned to another device.
