Cool cool, still not getting any work out of me. I’ll gladly make it a test of wills.

That’s alright, I have no conscience so I’m not weighed down.

Honestly if I’m ever imprisoned for being homeless and it doesn’t look like there’s a way out, you can be damn sure I’m not going to willingly work. They must provide three meals and a place to sleep and that’s all I will do. At that point I have no home and the carrot of “getting out” isn’t there. You’re not getting my labor for free too.

Need to do a version of this with car brands.

Look up Anycast when you get a chance.

You’re technically correct, you can use any of them. It’s honestly just a matter of preference.

That’s doable too. A lot of people don’t realize you can route all of those together. It’s even more fun as technically you can route private addresses across public links if you own both ends of the link. Used to see that done at a large ISP to route their internal network and it’d pop new networking admins minds.

ETA: I would use 192.x IPs for unrouted subnets like heartbeats or iSCSI.

Yeah. Here’s a breakdown of the allocations and their sizes:

  • 192.168.0.0/16 - 65,536 addresses
  • 172.16.0.0/12 - 1,048,576 addresses
  • 10.0.0.0/8 - 16,777,216 addresses

Most home applications only need a single /24 (256 addresses) so they are perfectly fine with 192.168.0.0/24, but as you get larger businesses, you don’t use every single address but instead break it out by function so it’s easier to know what is what and to provide growth in each area.
