Indeed they do use 11x but it’s still a possibility to cause issues. It’s entirely possible to manage a fleet of IPs across a net but it takes a solid plan organization plan. My company is big on the acquiring companies game where IP overlaps are a perpetual challenge when merging sites in and you need a mess of snat/dnat conversions to keep routing from getting in a knot.

While handy on a personal net, on a larger corporate net this isn’t practical and even adds a security risk. By having servers request leases you run the chance that someone gets into a segment, funds the ARP association for an IP/MAC combo and can take over a server’s spot simply by spoofing their own MAC to match at the time of lease renewal.

In the post above about setting a static address in two spots that in itself isn’t required either. So long as there are no duplicates you would just set the static address on the end device, then the network will sort it out with ARP ‘who has’ requests in local segments, or routing in the case of distinct subnets.

Edit: the duplicate I suppose could be referring to putting names into a DNS registry, in which case yes you would need that double entry, or just reference things by IP if the environment is small enough for it to be practical.

I’ve used plenty of them with no problems for years. Just so long as you have redundancy in place like a good RAID setup there’s little risk of losing anything.

He’s like that over confident political blowhard on the internet who picked up on one term used in policy at some point and tried to wedge it in as the appropriate answer to everything.

Did you happen to unplug the external drive when it was moved? Could wonder if the device ID got changed and the server can’t find the old location for the library any longer.

.world is hardly the home of the tankie, what you see might be posts from lemmy.ml

There are two other places known as lemmygrad and hexbear that are outright communist/tankie that you’ll see occasionally brigade when someone posts anything positive about the USA.

This and most others are pretty sane. One that comes to mind for what you’re asking particularly might be https://slrpnk.net/signup who seem kind of left but not Stalin left.

Otherwise there’s the join Lemmy link at the bottom of any given instance to look through.

Absolutely fucking not.

Though it does sound like a good kicker for the after market systems to make a comeback.
