gollark: I looked at some *Rust* code doing basically the same thing, and one piece of code I found did nothing in a similar way to mine, while another crashed with that stupid "OS error 22".
gollark: I looked at its (Go - ew) code and am not sure exactly why its works and mine doesn't.
gollark: Yes. It's weird, since I have some software on my laptop which uses multicast for service discovery and seems to have it work perfectly?
gollark: Hmm, this page says that the code hasn't been tested and also has no information for IPv6.
gollark: I thought it was limited to what fit in an IP packet, so about 1280 bytes.
