    It’s perfectly possible on Linux to have several network adapters with the same IP address, or several default routes.

    Most server applications will listen to 0.0.0.0 address, which means all network interfaces. Any incoming TCP connection will remember it’s network interface, and the server will send responses to the same interface.

    This will not work for UDP connections, and for outgoing TCP connections - they will always choose the network interface with the lowest metric, which you can print with ip r command.

    This does not include advanced techniques like bridge or bonding or iptables routing - you need to run special commands in the terminal, which you cannot do just by clicking your mouse in system settings app.

    It’s these things. Notice how the thread is smaller than the shaft. You always need to drill a pilot hole, otherwise the thread won’t bite into the wood. The thread is also pretty tight, so screwing it two-three times in the same hole is enough to strip the wood in the hole, so it can be pulled out with tweezers with almost no resistance. It’s also slotted, so if you press too hard your screwdriver will slip out. And if you screw too tightly, the head will rip off, because it’s a mild steel.

    Or you just hammer it in.

    In Soviet Russia, all furniture was assembled by hammering wood screws. Then the assembled furniture was ripened for up to ten years in special humidity-controlled warehouses, allowing screws to expand and lock in place thanks to rusting. This required making screws from special-grade low-quality steel, and use extra-toxic glue for particle board planks so they would not rot. And still, only one in five assembled pieces of furniture did not have any rotten parts or fall into pieces when you attempted to take it home, making it even more luxurious. It is utterly impossible to repeat this level of craftsmanship in modern world.

    People are boasting about Arch, but my first open-source OS was FreeBSD 4.2, fitting on a single CD-ROM.
    It included a tiny base system and C compiler, and practically every other package had to be compiled from source, using the ports system, which was just a collection of makefiles, one for each package.
    And you had to be careful to use gmake instead of make, because the default Make was BSD-specific tool incompatible with most of open-source software, which targeted Linux. And you had to make sure to use GNU versions of grep, sed, and awk, and remove all bashisms from shell scripts, because /bin/sh was of course incompatible with bash.
    You had only about 50% chance that a given package would compile. Package manager? What package manager? Just run suand then make install.
    And my PC was AMD K6, and it had Turbo button, which did absolutely nothing. And I was very proud of my TEAC CD drive.
