gollark: I don't think it's an actual *network* issue as much as a "my thing is not performing the right incantations to make the kernel do what I want" issue.

gollark: I found a program which does similar multicasting-y stuff and works fine, but I don't understand what it's actually doing because it's in a very different language with different semantics.

gollark: It's possible that I have some fundamental misunderstanding of how to make the networking stack happy with all this, but the examples I found did basically the same stuff so WHO KNOWS.

gollark: It's going onto my pile of "abandoned until I can find a non-eldritch way to do this" things.

gollark: "Interesting" and highly cursed: Google appear to have implemented some sort of horrible BASIC-y language encoded in YAML for "cloud workflows": https://cloud.google.com/workflows/docs/reference/syntax
