Curious if they’d see the same results in the UK or other country that drives on left of road.

Walking on right in a closed environment leads to counter-clockwise rotation, walking of left -> clockwise rotation. Think of a round-about.

This could impact a lot of Trump votes if not corrected too. I don’t think even he’s so dumb to alienate such a large voter base.

Don’t be depressed… start working out and build that new baseline. It’s a new peak whatever age you hit it and it comes back quickly after you take time off abs restart in the future.

I didn’t start lifting until I was 47. Started a strength building program and had great success the first year. Since then, now 9 years later, I’ve had numerous times where I took time off due to vacation or work getting crazy… and it always ended up being longer than I intended. Months and even 1 yr once. Still when I resume I build back strength so much more quickly than I put it on originally.

Starting pt for bench now is 225lb, 5 reps and sets, which is where I ended after my first year. I can get back to 1 rep at 315 in 3 to 4 months, which took several years for me to get to originally. Latest max of 1 rep 350lb, not quite sure how long to get back to it. I was there first in Aug 2024 and again Aug 2025 but I’ve had 6 months off so we’ll see. Nonetheless still far ahead of where I used to be.

Just get started. Don’t beat yourself up over how you’ve disappointed yourself in the past… you can’t change it anyway. Just start now and make a better you for your future.

I definitely don’t intend to run anything core over wifi… my home servers all have direct eth connections but also have WiFi hardware that came with them. The WiFi is really just a backup in case the switch they’re connected to dies. And since it turns out the eth and WiFi devices can share the same ip, having a resilient backup was easier than I expected.

In terms of size, the networks has about 70 devices and I’ve got 2 pi hole servers running dhcp & dns services, including unbound, all with ups’ and a generator backup so it’s about as resilient as I can make it.

You can’t be fascist and gay though! There lies their problem, and their audience.

Thanks for sharing your experience… so it really does work! I mean it certainly seems to be working fine and I keep thinking I’m overlooking something. I feel like I’m in a love triangle with 2 girls fully aware of the other and they’re fine with it… this feels like a disaster but everyone seems to be happy!

Thank you for the link… I didn’t know that was a thing. In the mean time though I can’t find a problem with what I’ve got… 2 connections with the same IP.

I simply wanted a fail-over but in the process got 2 interfaces with the same IP and I can’t find a problem with it 😄

What won’t work, because at the moment everything seems to be working fine and I’m pleasantly surprised.

In terms of why, all I really want is for the machine to have the same, consistent ip address. Since it’s one of my networks dns and dhcp servers, I want it always available with the same ip. It’s hard-wired but has wifi, so in theory if the eth connection or switch it’s attached to dies, the wifi connection can kick in and it can still serve the network if it still has the same ip address, otherwise the wifi connection is no benefit.

Since I didn’t know I could assign both connections the same ip address and still be functional, I originally setup a script that monitors network status and disables the wifi if eth is active and then re-enables the wifi if the eth connection drops. This works well on my two servers with one exception… my dvr scheduling/recording services don’t work properly when the wifi adapter is disabled. Not sure why but that’s how I stumbled on this setup with both active with the same ip and realized everything just seemed to work.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s the thing about UDP packets… receipt isn’t acknowledged as part of the protocol. It’s send and forget. I’m not sure a UDP packet sent to my server would get lost but I’m not 100% certain there couldn’t be situations where the packet is received by the server on both interfaces, essentially duplicated. It’s been almost 30 years since I wrote programs that utilized UDP for communicating. I’m definitely a little rusty. 😄

This is how they get voluntary terminations that don’t require severance.

Will UDP packets produce an error when sent or will they simply be received twice, potentially causing errors/issues?

You will need to make sure the IP you assign the adapter isn’t an IP the router will try to assign to another machine or device. The dhcp services don’t assign this IP address and it’s manually assigned in the adapter config so I guess the router doesn’t know or care.

I am kind of curious how traffic destined for this address doesn’t have issues though, like being received twice. Maybe I haven’t tested enough from a mix of devices on the network.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Has this always been possible though? Was I just imagining that manually assigning to network adapters the same ip address wasn’t possible?

Thanks for the reply. They seem to both be active. I don’t have iftop but tcpdump shows traffic on both, though much less on the wifi connection.

ip route shows:

default via 192.168.1.1 dev enp1s0 proto dhcp metric 100 
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp2s0 proto dhcp metric 600 
169.254.0.0/16 dev enp1s0 scope link metric 1000 
192.168.1.0/24 dev enp1s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.4 metric 100 
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp2s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.4 metric 600

I really didn’t think I’d be allowed to statically assign the same IP address to both interfaces, and surprisingly it seems to be working ok. I’m just wondering what I don’t know that’s going to bite me :)

Split keyboards for the win! Mine and my wife’s Microsoft Natural Keyboard 4000 is the epitome of “perfect keyboard”. We both dread the day they die since they’re no longer available.

Squirrels and rabbits hunt other animals??

All the Macs use M-series chips now… the heat is not a concern. Mine is closed constantly with external monitors and keyboard and never throttles or gets monstrously hot like the old Intel Macs.

Oh I get it. But not everyone has the aptitude, the tools and/or someone to teach them. Brakes and rotors aren’t too tough, and I taught my son and helped both my SILs but not everyone has that. I did ball joints a long time ago, starters, an alternator… but my dad helped and that gave me the confidence to attempt other stuff. But one expensive mistake can really cost you too and can discourage people from trying again.
