110
i.e. in the last 4 years I have 110 emails from Gene that feature
the string "169.254" or "avahi". They are all from this mailing
list.
Avahi is one of Gene's bogeymen. It has been explained to Gene many
times why he ends up with these link-local addresses, and what (if
anything) to do about it. It is chiefly to do with Gene's use of
Armbian (which isn't Debian, so is off-topic here) and it being
configured to use DHCP by default.
There is unlikely to be anything you can say to Gene about IPv4
link-local addresses that has not already been said to him multiple
times.
This conversation will likely happen again next time Gene feels we
are due a rant about Avahi, and as here, it will probably start to
hijack someone else's thread.
Thanks,
Andy
