Abandon Democrats and do what? Like it or not, political power in a nation of 300M people requires some kind of organization. Propose the creation of a new political party if you want, but walking away from the problem with no idea of an alternative is simply crazy.

Not saying to become a Trumper or Republican, but the Dems have abandoned us. Seriously, Hillary over Bernie? Joe Biden over Tulsi? Kamala over RFK? The US is an empire in decline, all the oligarchs have left is parasitism.

For the hosts I want at fixed addresses in my network (like my macbook which I route a couple of ports to from the router), I assign fixed addresses in the DHCP configuration.

(I already had an HDMI monitor, USB keyboard, and various USB cables and adapters.)

I joined Sun UK in 1994 initially as a Sun Services developer support engineer migrating to SunSoft 18 moths later concentrating on PC-NFS, Plum, Wabi and PC-Solaris inter connectivity where I ventured on many occasions to the Sun office in Burlington, MA and the West coast. I was made redundant following the Oracle take over, after 15 years at Sun, Oracle weren’t keen on the cloud work my team was running with. Following a few years with Virgin Media with transit and peering and then a spell teaching Royal Navy engineers in the IT sphere I am now training flight data processing using both old 60’s systems and newer technology incorporating virtualisations on core data centres, AI flight vector processing and myriad other technologies.
The key take away I got from your article is that irrespective of age your skills and knowledge ensured you were a desirable asset which I believe in too, and encourage former and existing colleagues too. I have recently turned 64 and still have the desire to learn and share.

Thank you for sharing and all the best in your retirement.

Kev
