- DHCP servers embedded in cheap routers are generally crappy. Use a Linux machine as a DHCP server instead. This applies even to the translation network.
- Avoid NAT between parts of the network, it makes debugging of faults harder. Generally, try to keep things as simple as possible.

## Printing of translations

- The volume of task statements including translations is quite large. For example, English statements of Day 1 in 2023 had 16 pages. Multiplied by 360 contestants, it is almost 6000 pages for English only.
- Having at least 3 printers capable of printing at least 50 pages per minute is desirable.
- For 2024, we plan to print everything for a single contestant as a single print job with a banner sheet containing the ID of the contestant and expected contents of their envelope.

- Tinc was chosen as the VPN solution for connecting Contestant VMs to the contest infrastructure on AWS.
- Ansible was extensively used to configure CMS deployments as well as contestant VMs.
