Etymology

Bracanethuaite 12th Century.

Old Norse brakni 'bush' and thveit 'assart' (cf. thwaite) like Bregentved (Denmark) and Bracquetuit (Normandy) (cf. Thuit).[2]

gollark: You have to `bind` and `connect` still, and there seem to be separate "receive from" and "send to" things anyway, and there's a special "join_multicast_v6" thing, and with multicast stuff you have to worry about different interfaces and somehow binding to different addresses than the one you actually want to listen on and it returns useless errors and is generally aææææææææææa.
gollark: UDP is not a stream-oriented protocol and yet you have to muck with sockets in convoluted ways.
gollark: As I said, the socket APIs map *terribly* onto this.
gollark: > does udp even work over IP multicast... yes.
gollark: I just have no idea why.
