throwaway5371··on Popcorn Time Is Back
most ISPs dont, having many dhcp servers and not having developers is not completely trivial to parse the logs and put in some database, or just add some tooling to isc-dhcpd

RIPE makes it basically mandatory to use dhcp in order to recive ip space, even though in most places it is completely useless since 2010, you save maybe 5% because literally nobody turns off their routers

also of course because there is no ip space now, admins put small lease times like 1 hour, or sometimes even less, so you have constant influx of logs and updates

i can imagine those scripts are buggy, misread timestamps and etc

throwaway5371··on Employees are returning to the office to sit on zoom calls
of course you can waste time in the office as well, from people joining every meeting and asking "but does it scale" to people playing table tennis, but in general its harder to do than remote
throwaway5371··on Employees are returning to the office to sit on zoom calls
Half my friends say they work less than 1 hour a day remote. Literally attend standup, complain they are somewhat blocked or investigating something and then just work on personal projects or just game. The rest are doing chores because their spouses are not considering them working because they are "home". All kinds of chores from pick up the kids to take the dog to the vet.

Whoever says overall productivity increases, is probably talking about very disciplined individuals.
