              Came in and our new £20K Citrix farm wasn't working because somehow the controller thinks it's own ip is in use (despite being static) so was on the 169.x.x.x address, changed the address on Friday all working came in this morning to find DNS still showing the old address. So had ago at the MSP that set it all up, along with that people asking for urgent things that were more like "I've forgot my password" and me saying that's not priority getting the Citrix working is wasn't good enough for them lol. So felt like just saying bugger it!

              I'm on my own today lol

                  @hobbit666 Did you set a DHCP reservation along with the static IP address?

                  I've forgotten to do that before... lol

                        It amazes me how many people are petrified of self driving cars. One of my English friends swears it will never happen in England.

                        Personally, I just can't wait.

                          It'll be the best thing ever. And England is way ahead of the US on it.

                            Agreed. It would happen overseas before it happens here. At least at scale. Can't wait. I do love to drive but I could see there being a bracket for that similar to recreational vehicles. With the associated taxes and insurance that goes along with it.

                              Yeah, once someone sues someone in a death case for criminal negligence because they decided to drive themselves rather than let the computer drive, the insurance companies will insure manually drive cars out of existence. I predict that it will be a snowball effect of one or two major lawsuits saying that anyone who grabbed the wheel instead of letting the computer drive was putting people in danger and it will be seen the same as a DUI today and the insurance companies will make the rates go up 10x then 100x then simply refuse to insure anyone driving their own car and ... that's that. Won't take a law, just the force of economics.

                                The ultra rich that can self insure will be allowed to keep them, will kill people from time to time and the public will start to associate driving yourself with having an open beer can in the cup holder.

                                  Short of a city choosing to allow it in the US, I agree. Our shear size is a huge factor. Smaller countries should have an easier time with something like this. Though I don't know if something like this would be more up to the EU than the individual countries.

                                    Doesn't have to be "up to" anyone. That's my point. Allowing it has to be federal in both cases because of uniform highway laws. But enforcing it, as far as I'm concerned, will have no laws at all. And insurance is federal in both cases.

                                        @hobbit666 Did you set a DHCP reservation along with the static IP address?

                                        Is this really an issue? You overlap IPs in your DHCP range with statically assigned one? Sure it can be done, but I try to avoid it at nearly any cost.

                                        Generally always with a Windows DHCP server. The reason is that if you want to set DHCP reservations, they have to be in the overall DHCP scope.

                                        So your LAN is 10.254.0.0/24
                                        Your DHCP scope is 10.254.0.1 - 10.254.0.254
                                        You set exlusions for the ranges you want your static or DHCP reservations.
                                        Exclusion: 10.254.0.1 - 10.254.0.50

                                          But they will likely come later, I think, after it doesn't really exist any longer.
