Opened a ticket at @videolan@floss.social about the issue of selecting the wrong interface for #multicast: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/work_items/29992
It's basically the same issue I had also reported for #Qaul / #libp2p: https://github.com/libp2p/rust-libp2p/issues/5783
It would be really great if #IETF #RFCs could give a better guidance on which interface for multicast an application or OS should choose.

Yaiy, it's so cool to see at least one familiar face from the @battlemesh@toot.aquilenet.fr in this #Arte #documentary about #MeshNetworks. And @libremesh@social.freifunk.net is featured, too!

Theoretisch hängt hier jetzt auch ein #Meshtastic Knoten im #Nobreakspace des @chaotikumev@social.chaotikum.org, dem ihr versuchen könnt, Nachrichten zu schreiben.
Leider, da im Keller, gerade idR. per #MQTT oder UDP #multicast über @ffhl@chaos.social (also beides übers Internet).

As blocktrron has stumbled over this issue in their #Freifunk network, too, that it would take a long time to get an IPv6 address, we looked a bit deeper into it. Basically it's three pieces of software not doing things optimally, each could probably have avoided the issue. And related to #multicast snooping and #RFC7772: 1st @batadv@social.freifunk.net, 2nd #NetworkManager and 3rd #radvd:

Fuck you @gitlab@mastodon.social UI and reactive web UIs in general!!! I just spend 2-3 hours writing an elaborate issue description for @videolan@floss.social, including console output examples etc. And then while editing something I must have clicked some pop-up in the bottom left and now the whole ticket preview is empty... Ctrl-Z does not undo it...

My initial reflex of that thumbnail of cardboard with the words "no consent = no content" had me think about #multicast:
https://netzpolitik.org/2026/digitale-gewalt-das-lass-ich-mir-nicht-nehmen/

Especially as that's how @dentangle@chaos.social and @onepict@chaos.social have often described multicast.

I know it's already "old" and "common" tech in the #OpenWrt land, but had tried the ASU (attended sysupgrade) for the first time today. Worked like a charm, could update a switch from one snapshot release to a slightly newer one via LuCI. This makes updating so much more effortless on OpenWrt!

"Versuch nicht den L̶ö̶f̶f̶e̶l̶ Lötkolben zu verbiegen, das ist nämlich nicht möglich. Versuche dir einfach die Wahrheit vorzustellen. Welche Wahrheit? Den L̶ö̶f̶f̶e̶l̶ Lötkolben gibt es nicht. Dann wirst du merken, dass nicht der L̶ö̶f̶f̶e̶l̶ Lötkolben sich biegt sondern du selbst."
