I mean, the why is obvious. Whether anyone should do it is the real question ;-)

Needs more plants.

I trialled both a while ago, chose ummich asits face recognition was superior.

There were other reasons, but I’ve forgotten them.

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

Cheap as chips. Supremely powerful.

I have X years experience with {keyword salad}.

Can you confirm {details already in the opening post}?

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.

This is why it’s important to have tests that assert a system’s failure modes too.

shouldFitTriangleInTriangleHole()

shouldNotFitTriangleInAnyOtherHoles()

Bonus points for just parameterizing it.

Another vote for immich.

I trialled several before finding immich. It is by far the best that I’ve found.

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.

Cut it in half and avoid the spec violating abomination.

You’d probably be able to remove the cooler’s non-compliant a-port and just solder the cable directly.

Then at least it’ll be less of an abomination.

They do!

See their Era, Mood, Ridge, Terra cases.

Well. To Java that’s just a string of utf-8 characters, assuming you haven’t bastardised the encoding, and it’s just yanked out of an HTTP entity. So of course they’re different.

If you’re using some json parser and object mapping library (like Jackson) then all bets are off 'cause it could be configured any which way.

On every other language and library it’s whatever the defined behaviour is.

I did this until I moved to an ISP that cared about IPv6.

It was almost trivial even with the ISP’s PoS router.

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.

Derp, here’s me trying to figure out what “98X” was referring to.

I said “this is my contract mandated notice period, starting today”.
