gollark: ```rust let multicast_addr: Ipv6Addr = "ff02::aeae".parse().unwrap(); let socket = Socket::new(Domain::ipv6(), Type::dgram(), Some(Protocol::udp()))?; socket.set_only_v6(true)?; socket.set_multicast_loop_v6(false)?; socket.join_multicast_v6(&multicast_addr, 0).with_context(|| "join multicast failed")?; socket.bind(&SocketAddr::from((Ipv6Addr::UNSPECIFIED, PORT)).into())?;```
gollark: It's likely that my code is just setting up the socket wrong somehow, since I mostly just used the multicast-looking things in the docs and rearranged the calls until it stopped saying stupid things like "OS error 22".

gollark: `ip neigh show`, right?
gollark: It says it wants a "prefix", which I assume means `ff00::/8` and stuff, but it also says nothing about that.
