Should not be a problem. On my network, I have a span of addresses for dynamic, and my server has a static address outside the range. That way I guarantee that the routers dhcp server will not try to give out an IP address that is already in use.

Yes, mixing is fine, as long as you don't assign a static address that is in the same range as the dynamic addresses. Such as, if you want the router to use addresses between 192.168.0.10 and 192.168.0.30 for DHCP, assign the static address to something like 192.168.0.9, or anything out of the specified range.

Another option, I don't if it's available with your router, is that some routers let you specify a MAC address and choose an IP address that the NIC with that MAC address should always receive.

Yep... My Astaro box does that. I also have the first 98 addresses for static. ie. 10.1.0.100 - 10.1.0.254 as DHCP leases.

    • They are still b-hurt about Apple allowing users to block their ability to see what you do across other apps too. Did Android also get this functionality? It’s been a while since using it.
    • Meta's next chatbot might message you first and want to keep talking to you by Usama Jawad Original robot image designed by Freepik Chatbots have been on the rise ever since the meteoric rise of ChatGPT back in January 2023. While large language models (LLMs), the technology powering chatbots, has various other use-cases, one of the most popular scenario for AI involvement continues to be chatbots. Now, it appears that Meta is considering making AI assistants even more proactive and talkative in future iterations. Leaked documents seen by Business Insider indicates that Meta is training AI chatbots that can message you unprompted to bring up past topics. Internally, the initiative is known as "Project Omni", and its aim is to increase user retention and engagement by providing more value to customers. Examples of proactive messages from the chatbot include an inquiry into your discovery of any new music composers, or checking if you require any movie recommendations for the night. A Meta spokesperson confirmed these plans to the news outlet, saying that "Like many companies, we're testing follow-up messaging with AIs in Meta's AI Studio. After you initiate a conversation, AIs in Meta AI Studio can follow up with you to share ideas or ask additional questions. This allows you to continue exploring topics of interest and engage in more meaningful conversations with the AIs across our apps." Contractors from data labeling firm Alignerr are reportedly helping Meta build different personas that can interact with the user. Once these capabilities become generally available in AI Studio, they will allow customers to create personalized chatbots that are specialized in particular areas, such as responding to fan messages across Meta's social media networks. It is important to note that this project is in active development, but an Alignerr contractor noted that it's been given to them as a "long-term project". The Meta spokesperson specified that follow-up messages to a conversation will only be sent on threads originally initiated by the user. If the user does not respond to this follow-up, no other messages will be sent. Follow-ups will be sent within 14 days of the original message and in order to be eligible, you have to have sent at least five messages to the chatbot in the previous two weeks. Other guidelines in the requirements document emphasize the need for the follow-up conversation to be positive, personalized, avoid harmful or sensitive content, and refer to something concrete from previous conversations. It will be interesting to see if this new way of interaction with AI chatbots changes the way we engage with them.
    • It would make more sense to do that, but instead it looks like he wants the batch script to display a message telling him to manually enable the VPN rather than getting the batch script to connect it for him.
    • With laws changing, they (tech companies) may need to pivot fast to ID checking. They (generally speaking) don’t want to hold that info due to accountability, penalties for data breaches. It also helps if they can comply but not know who when law comes asking. @RejZor
