  • Yeah - I mean it’s technically “not ideal” but I simply don’t have any issues. I did have a windows computer that once complained about there being two devices on the network with the same IP but it didn’t stop it from working with it. I think that was some security software installed on that system though. This is the “less than ideal” part - it will look a bit suspicious if you have any security software that scans network traffic because “arp poisoning” is a common attack (basically stealing an IP address).



  • Metric seems to cause Linux to mostly arp reply on one interface. Not a lot of switching. I can even plug in an Ethernet cable during a network transfer to speed it up.

    Linux treats ips as assigned to the host,so any interface can respond for packets sent to another interface (even if they have different ip addresses).

    There is some network weirdness that a security scanner might complain about, but it “works”.










  • Why do you think I’m saying the Guardian is involved in a conspiracy? I agreed they can be just doing factual reporting and also that this reporting happens to be useful to people who want to justify the US and Israel’s actions.

    This is the “I’m just asking questions” wing of conspiratorial thinking. What you’re missing is that there’s absolutely no reason to be bringing any of this up at all. The connections you’re making are spurious. It’s also super common (and annoying) in on-line conversations of any sort when politics is being discussed. When maga does it leftists cry “conspiracy theory” (rightly so). When leftists do it and I point out the conspiracy thinking I get “you’re so naive! you can’t see that these things are related!?!”

    BoTh SiDeS are absolutely guilty of conspiracy thinking. They just like their conspiracies and feel justified. Introspection is not a common talent.
