Yeah. I can set up to 253 but it refuses to go any further. I think it's an issue with the firmware/OS they run

Fellow networking people....I am trying to increase the DHCP pool on a Draytek router and it refuses to let me increase the DHCP pool count. I am even following their own documentation and not having any luck.
Am I missing something?

I have to try very hard not to be very very angry. Big biz making record profits whilst the rest of us suffer.
Anyway. Any radio related things to mention chaps?

I'd need around £2500 extra a year to be on par with what I started my current role with.
Given I started at the end of 2022 and the amount inflation has gone up by, it's no wonder we're feeling the pinch. @npub19zg…kc2k

Fun (read: depressing) fact, when I was born in 1991 a £23k salary would be worth around £55.5k today.

Just had to convince someone a DECT phone isn't the source of the voices they're hearing. I manged to refrain from referring them to an exorcist

When I went to college in 2008/2009 I did an IT related BTEC. I didn't realise it at the time but it was programming orientated and we were using VB. It put me off programming until very recently when I've started to consider doing some python stuff.
