  • Except there are probably pictures that could be created and made available to your friends and family that you might not feel so comfortable with, and ones that are realistic that others may not be convinced are fake. Maybe pics of you fapping in your restroom at work or pics of you involved in beastiality. Distributed amongst your coworkers, family, social group or church members and then you’re fighting for your job or struggling with the fact that some friends or family don’t seem100% convinced it’s fake and you suffer consequences.

    Maybe you don’t care, just like you might not care if people take pics of you through you’re bedroom window, but that doesn’t mean people should be free to do it without your consent first.





  • 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.






  • 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 think 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. 😄




  • 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.
