Ninjiwhite smoke just came out of our router... this means that the DHCP conclave has ended and a new IP address has been selected
Loka Centauris@Ninji Renew! Renew!
tivasyk@Ninji …or pop(p)ed up, one might say.
Airplanista 🇺🇦@Ninji either that or the piston rings are cracked and that's oil smoke.
And, if you're running your router so hard it is smoking, might want to back off the Internet for a while LOL.
Chloé Raccoon@Av8rdan @Ninji @TundraWolf piston rings? For white smoke I'd more expect someone's blown their head gasket... ;)

StarkRG@Ninji 😂 That would be a fun mod. Pretty easy too, if the router has USB. Refilling it with whatever smoke liquid you choose might become a pain, though.

rouxdoo √Electronics are different - when the magic smoke is released the device is dead and even the god above (working though the new pontiff) can not make it work again...I know this from many mis-wired home automation gizmos.
pejacoby@Ninji But has their NAME been updated too?
ARGVMI~1.PIFIf smoke is coming out of your router, I don't think DHCP is your biggest problem. 😳
WillTootMaybe@argv_minus_one @Ninji Damn Hot, Caused Pyrotechnics? Seems relevant :)

stfn@Ninji Habemus IPam!
Jörn Nettingsmeier@Ninji My Innocent XIII (formerly monsignore 80.61, cardinal of 6.90) had been elected in 2017, and I hope he lives for a long time. Having to memorize new popes is such a chore, with misrouted prayers and whatnot. I'm scared the next one could be one of those 169.254ers...or worse yet, an IPv666.

alarmed feet operative: kimothy siddon@Ninji surprise surprise. the new IP address continues to misgender me
Luna Arson - 6279@Ninji I need to get a tiny smoke machine and make a router do this every time a device connects

waldi@Ninji I'm so glad I removed all DHCP from my network. SLAAC for the win.

Amro has been@Ninji IP Ope?
AnneH@Ninji Nope. If the smoke has escaped the router is dead.

@Ninji IT here... yeah, checks out.
James Atkinson@Ninji Woke Marxist address?

@Ninji finally another ipv4 address, thanks i was running out
Rook@Ninji That is hilarious, did it require three years and opening the roof by tearing it down to make that happen?
@Ninji That, or it's on fire. Lolol!
Robin Kipp has moved@Ninji @jaybird110127 It also could mean that your router is running IPFire

A 6 yo Fritzbox 7590?
Analog AI@Ninji ... or something like that. It also means you should pray for the health of the new router ...
