Random tangent just dove into my head: are sets a thing in C?
plucky ridge
Okay didn't think so
undone berry
I think you need a library or custom implementation
sand goblet
oh my god, hemlock, that reminds me
solid pollen
Yeah C++ not C
sand goblet
I had a friend over last weekend, a C developer
I showed him some kotlin I was working on
and he loved it
plucky ridge
It's so clean
sand goblet
so over the last week he decided to start a major paradigm shift
and learn rust
???
haha
plucky ridge
Null safety
sand goblet
yeah, probably
plucky ridge
Probably what most appealed to him
undone berry
Kotlin and C are solving different problems right But Rust and C are often solving the same things?
plucky ridge
Sort of
sand goblet
Kotlin can solve the same problems too
solid pollen
Heās right tbh, cargo is great
plucky ridge
Rust solves C's potential memory issues
sand goblet
it's just that Kotlin Native is still pretty early
plucky ridge
Yeah that'll be interesting to see how that grows
sand goblet
yeah, it will
plucky ridge
But honestly even within the JVM it's pretty powerful
solid pollen
Rust is safer too, isnāt it?
sand goblet
Yeah I'm very happy with kotlin
plucky ridge
Both Kotlin and Rust boast null safety
undone berry
Kotlin is obviously nicer to write than Java. But does that matter for the long term success? If it doesn't achieve wide range enterprise adoption, is it really gonna take off outside the sphere of app dev?
plucky ridge
The fact that Google adopted it for Android is a HUGE boon
sand goblet
even large enterprise favourites like Spring have full support for it
undone berry
But the thing is, the appeal of Java from a companies perspective is the ease of acquiring developers
sand goblet
I've been using Spark, a very popular light web framework, and that has a full Kotlin DSL
undone berry
why would a company choose kotlin?
plucky ridge
Null safety, still interoperable and compatible with existing Java codebase, faster dev time, yeah
sand goblet
you could just hire decent java devs and have them learn kotlin
it'd take a week, two weeks, probably
undone berry
Hm, faster dev time seems to be the main argument in its favour
sand goblet
Well it's a lot safer, as hemlock says
plucky ridge
Makes a difference
undone berry
But if you have Java in your codebase, adding in Kotlin seems a bit iffy
sand goblet
the compiler forces you to write safe code, the null safe operators aren't the only part of this
actually kotlin can live alongside java in the same project with no issues at all
undone berry
I didn't know about the safety stuff
plucky ridge
Yep
sand goblet
I'm working on a big legacy project actually
JourneyMap, Minecraft mod, I'm working on a pretty large part, in kotlin, the rest of the thing is just java
the thing is like 6+ years old
undone berry
If you're a company, you don't want to have to wait for your devs to learn a new lang and a new project at the same time. So I don't think the ease to learn is super important
plucky ridge
Sure but that's easy to fix by adding typing, which you should be doing anyway
sand goblet
it forces you to write null-safe code, and there are cases where you have eg a when block and it'll force you to handle all cases
plucky ridge
Rust does the same
undone berry
Yeah, I don't have a great frame of reference for how important/not-important safety is in terms of larger enterprise projects
plucky ridge
It's actually interesting, there are a LOT of parallels between the two
undone berry
so I'll take your word for it
sand goblet
well trust me when I say that null pointer exceptions are the number one most annoying thing about java
haha
plucky ridge
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
undone berry
You seem like you've written a lot of Java, before Kotlin, did you enjoy writing Java compared to other languages?
sand goblet
I actually did quite like java
plucky ridge
Liked it more than VB when I did it
sand goblet
but null safety is genuinely difficult because everything could be null
solid pollen
Weirdo ^^
sand goblet
and a lot of the time, it's not documented
because someone just forgot to write a null check in a library
and suddenly the app explodes and the compiler eats your cat
plucky ridge
And it's damn near impossible to figure out why
sand goblet
yeah
plucky ridge
So you just hope that your users don't do that thing
sand goblet
also, it's worth pointing out
plucky ridge
As I've been encountering with our tax software
sand goblet
a lot of people talk about javascript being nested
as a complaint
but they haven't seen java
rough sapphire
i have seen worse
sand goblet
java tracebacks can be several hundred lines on a good day
kotlin doesn't solve that problem obviously, but it is a pretty big indicator of how coupled a lot of code is when working with java
solid pollen
And dots.
rough sapphire
there is one that looks like graph once flipped and zoomed out
solid pollen
dots everywhere
sand goblet
lol yeah, deep tracebacks, long tracebacks
plucky ridge
hawt
vapid bluff
i really like anonymous classes
plucky ridge
What's the appeal?
sand goblet
they can be useful but you should really try to avoid using them
vapid bluff
cant think of any other languages that have that feature
vapid bluff
hemlock, say you've got a custom event handler class
vapid bluff
thats more of a hacky obscurity than a feature imo
sand goblet
true
vapid bluff
anywho, say you've got a custom event handler, and you wanna create a new subclass of it for one specific purpose
rather than defining a whole new class, you set up the instance where you need it, with some additional syntax to override one specific method
plucky ridge
I guess my question is does that affect how it's built, its stability, etc.
vapid bluff
it just a little quality of life thing that can make code more elegant imo
very much extra and unnecessary but cool
sand goblet
the way you do this in kotlin is via consumer functions, yeah
they're kind of like normal Units, but instead of taking it as a parameter, it's called as a function as if it was in the scope of said class
so you don't even have to define a class with any special syntax, it's just a Unit, and it has access to this
kotlin does generics better than java as well
I'll let the article speak for itself I think, https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/generics.html
also I still find it funny that the embed for the kotlin docs is just a giant kotlin logo
haha
vapid bluff
// set up render loop
renderLoop = new UpdateLoop(1000/15) {
@Override
public void tick() {
super.tick();
content.repaint();
}
};
here @plucky ridge , found this in some of my old code.
rather than passing in a callback to trigger every tick of the updateloop, i just overrode tick altogether
sand goblet
var renderLoop = {
super.tick()
content.repaint()
}
I'm here all week
I'm not 100% on how to type hint that
let me double check
right, right
vapid bluff
doesnt that only work for classes with one method?
sand goblet
var renderLoop: UpdateLoop.(Float) -> () = {
super.tick()
content.repaint()
}
and can you pass in arguments to the constructor?
sand goblet
kotlin doesn't have constructors in the java sense
not that you can't make use of them, but
anyway, you can then call this like
val renderLoop = ...
val loop = UpdateLoop(whatever)
loop.renderLoop(1000/15)
I realise that I messed up the logic you were putting across, but you get me
you can only call it like that in the given scope, of course
the given use-case here is obviously not that useful on its own, generally libraries will make use of it
they'll have a function taking one of these functions and make use of it
Spark's DSL does that
as for constructors..
in java, constructors are basically just methods
in kotlin, constructors exist only to set up the class and may not have any other side effects
class MyClass(val s: String, var mutable: List = listOf()) {
// Class code
}
they're basically just class arguments
if you need to run something on instantiation of the class, you can have an init { } block, which is what you have to do if you subclass a java class that expects you to override the constructor
class MyCommand : Command() {
init {
this.name = "my_command"
this.permission = Permissions.ADMINISTRATOR
}
}
I could go on all day tbh, but hopefully that helps
plucky ridge
Interesting
sand goblet
I mostly learn about this stuff when I run into it
suspended functions are great by the way, you should see how JDA makes you do this in java
they couldn't decide on an async model so instead they gave you three completely different ones
I think they give you a Flux type deal, Promises, and Futures
kotlin's coroutines library provides an extension function, await(), for java's CompletableFutures, so I just did that

Is there a server like this for Java, or can someone answer a question I have in Java?
I know how to do what I need in python, but I am learning Java and cannot seem to figure out the answer
undone berry
You can ask in one of the offtopic channels, yeah
cloud wren
I have two 3-digit ints, such as 374 and 493, and I need to compare how many digits match
undone berry
Not sure about a server though
cloud wren
So in this instance they both have a 3
sand goblet
Turn them into strings and loop over them
undone berry
You can use the same approach as you would in Pyhton, I can't give explicit code. But casting them to a string and looping over will work
cloud wren
What about without using a string, is there a way or no
undone berry
Can also loop using %10, %100, and %100 instead - but thats more complex
cloud wren
The only way my friend thought of was making it 3 separate inputs and therefore 3 separate ints, like 3 7 and 4
then comparing them all like this
undone berry
Deleted dumb pseudocode
Theres some pseudocode
that hopefully gives you the gist
wait no, not quite
I'm not properly extracting a single digit with the modulo
you also need some integer division, but, I can't remember that for now
cloud wren
I am trying to understand the path this is taking
undone berry
Ok
my code is probably more of a hindrance than a help
so I'll just explain in words
First of all, what is your problem. How many digits do 10045 and 14500 have in common?
as in, do the positions of the digits matter?
undone berry
Ok, so if you approach it as a string problem, for each character in the first string, you're comparing it to every character in the second string right - that makes sense?
cloud wren
The string problem is easy yes
undone berry
Yeah, so the numeric analogy
cloud wren
I think I understand where you were going with the 1, 10, 100
If you do 374//100 you should get 3
meaning the first digit 3
undone berry
You want to extract the digit in the 1s position, then the digit in the 10s position
undone berry
Yeah, so you extract the 1s digit, then 10s, then 100s, 100s... and you do the same for the second string
the question now is how to extract that digit
which my poorly functioning brain can't do right now. But I think its something along the lines of tens_digit = (456%100)/10)
undone berry
But the logic for this is the same in Python as in Java, so asking for help with the Python solution in a help channel should let you write the Java pretty easily

whats the difference between BSc and BEng in computers?

Virtually identical in terms of course content andĀ graduateĀ employment potential.
Strictly, BEng degrees have to be accredited by an engineering body (typically BCS or IET). This means that a BEng course has to cover certain topics like professional practice/ ethics, and there could be small restrictions on the type of projects available (eg, you have to have n hours of team assessments). These are really minor and you might need to do fulfil for a BSc anyway.
For the most part, they'll be identical, and you should be picking the right department, rather than looking at the degree honorary. If it's identical BSc and BEng courses at the same uni, go for the BEng -- it may give you a slight leg up in professional accreditation in the future.

Booo
plucky ridge
Yes! Let the pun hatred flow through you!
vapid bluff
@lime gazelle think we should continue over here
golden walrus
my apologies
lime gazelle
okie!
vapid bluff
if you need the value represented by those six bits then you cant have those extra zeroes
otherwise you get a freakishly massive number
so you gotta get rid of them first
vapid bluff
a bit to 0?
vapid bluff
110 >> 1 = 11
110 >> 2 = 1
110 >> 3 = 0
lime gazelle
ok I get that 
I don't get why he's shifting the whole instruction 26 bits to the right and masking the top 6 off
like I don't get the result if that makes sense?
vapid bluff
let's say your instructions are like this:
[6 bits representing operation][26 bits of extra data for operation]
in order to access those 6 bits you need to get rid of the other 26 bits following it
so you shift right 26 times, that way youre only left with the 6 bits
dunno bout the masking
would need to see some actual values to get a better idea of whats going on
lime gazelle
like
he wants this whole ordeal, for example, to be equal to 0b001111
and the instruction is 0x3c093400
vapid bluff
could i have a link to the video/article?
and the point in which where this is occurring?
lime gazelle
https://youtu.be/uJ83pJfV6lY hour 3:07:45
vapid bluff
that whole line of code looks incorrect to me
looks like he's using logical and instead of bitwise and
and if you have a 32 bit number, and shift it right 26 bits, there's no need to do the extra masking
is it 64 bits or 32?
lime gazelle
he doesn't know either
he's just winging it
he's assuming it's 64
so yeah 
I don't really get it
vapid bluff
ok, let's say it's a 64 bit operation
you have something like
[32 bits of some unknown info][6 bits representing op code][26 bits of extra data]
lime gazelle
yeah
vapid bluff
ugh discord froze
lime gazelle
shifting right 26 makes the extra data poof
but masking the top 6 bits gives you six random bits of unkwon information?
not the opcode
vapid bluff
no
one sec
you shift this over 26 bits, now youre left with
[32 bits of some unknown info][6 bits representing op code]
there it is
vapid bluff
right, so if you're left with [32 bits of some unknown info][6 bits representing op code]
to get rid of those 32 bits you mask them out
he's not even doing a mask here though
lime gazelle
but he masks 0b111111
vapid bluff
he's using && which is logical and
lime gazelle
yeah he corrects it later
vapid bluff
101011
& 001111
= 001011
no wait
say the six bits are at the end, not in the front
no wait again
if he's masking 0b111111 that means the six bits are are the front
I'm dumb

I've decided I'd like to learn Vim - is writing non-code stuff (i.e random notes) in it a reasonable use case for starting out?
Probably in markdown rather than plaintext
frosty berry
that's fine
there are plugins to help with markdown, and i think the default handling is reasonable.
and yes, i do take random notes in vim, i have a plugin, vimwiki, which helps a bit in organizing that, but again, it's not essential, just makes things a bit more hypertext-y
(if you press enter on a word or selection, it creates a link on it and following a link creates or edit the page of that name)

have you watched DBS
viral parrot
yes, everything
rough sapphire
wow
viral parrot
and i watch it from the orginal release, no need to wait for the dub š
rough sapphire
me too.. because it takes too long.. now I watch the dub on YT..
I wanted to watch the Broly movie at the theatres here.. but they didn't come out with subtitles.. lol.. missed out
viral parrot
@rough sapphire well, the term "hacking my X" has a lot of baggage with itself. the correct term for what you are doing would be more to enable homebrew. and that jig looks awful, you should enable auto-RCM as fast as possible so you do not damage your switch connector
there are fan made subs for broly i think
rough sapphire
I ended up watching the dub online..
viral parrot
now the blue ray is out i see... so subs should not be an issue.
rough sapphire
I wonder when the next DBS episodes are coming out.. it's been almost 2 years
viral parrot
im not sure there will be any more dragon ball super tv episodes
the next thing might be a movie
rough sapphire
hmm could be.. but they make a lot of manga here, not sure how it's gonna fit in a movie.. I'd be happy either way if they just come out with something soon
viral parrot
if you have not seen Broly, then well... you should
rough sapphire
I saw the dub
viral parrot
oh yeah.. right.. š
well. with grandma goku getting up in the years, that alone might mean that there will not be any more tv-shows

rough sapphire
I'm sure they'll find a replacement.. like they did for Bulma
but it'll be very sad.. good thing is, Japanese women live very long
viral parrot
I have heard, but cant confirm, that if grandma goku quits, there will be no replacements for her.
viral parrot
Son Goku is a fictional animated character from the Japanese tv-show, movie, manga, Dragon Ball

he's based on Sun Wukong.. from the Chinese mythology.. Journey to the West
Son Goku is the name of Sun Wukong in Japanese

@rough sapphire I see you printed a jig
first things first
before doing ANYTHING
boot the Hekate payload and make a full NAND and separate prodinfo backup
and keep them safe
this is now your clean slate, your reverse pivot should you fuck something up or wish to simply stop using CFW
sand goblet
honestly I would never CFW my switch
I've heard nintendo are pretty good for banning people that use it
when it becomes obsolete it'll be a good thing to CFW though
rough sapphire
what's the difference between grayscale, b&w and color images..
sand goblet
greyscale images do use shades to soften the contrast, I think
the difference only really matters in printing
rough sapphire
I'm wondering more about representation.. in bits
sand goblet
where greyscale images can use coloured ink
and black+white do not
at least that's my understanding of it
autumn herald
Is Nintendo ban a bad thing
Like you can't play one of their 3/4 online games anymore ?
sand goblet
Their online games are excellent though, to be fair
some of them are console sellers
I'd be sad if I couldn't play Splatoon anymore haha
rough sapphire
what ban
autumn herald
Dunno if the online feature for splatoon would kill console sell tbh
Maybe smash/last Mario Maker
sand goblet
most of splatoon's content is online
and I definitely bought a switch with the intention of playing splatoon
besides, it's also a ban from the store
autumn herald
I guess Nintendo doesn release any number of online play
Imagine i can't dowloads the bikinis in Atelier Riza š±
(I don't, it's a joke)
sand goblet
well I mean, the breath of the wild DLC was excellent
be a shame to miss out on that
rough sapphire
That moment when you get forced out of your server because of your strict Fail2Ban setup
rough sapphire
Well, I'm testing a new feature on one of my servers
and I've got a really strict Fail2Ban setup
I forget what it is, but it's something like - anything that isn't a 200 is allowed through 3 times in 30 minutes or something
and then everything that is a 200 is allowed 12 times in 5 minutes or some such
It's probably way lower than even that, considering I tripped it.
viral parrot
I agree with your switch commend @sand goblet, for that reason i have two, one with CFW and one without with online access.
viral parrot
but the point is still there, if you are not, do not CFW your switch š
sand goblet
Yup!
autumn herald
sure sure
i'll let you know that 2.50ā¬ virtual bikini is too expensive for the cheap fuck i am
sand goblet
it should be too expensive for people that aren't cheap too tbh
autumn herald

2.50ā¬ a virtual bikini? Oh yeah please!
sand goblet
Didn't know you wore bikinis, Ak

It is virtual, so I guess I can't really wear it haha

Make your body virtual too, so maybe virtual can wear virtual..

yeah, there was this virtual girlfriend thing released for the wii in japan
one guy married it

rough sapphire
I've heard nintendo are pretty good for banning people that use it
@sand goblet
It's very easy to avoid bans - basically, you have two OS partitions, one for CFW and one which is clean. The CFW one should always be offline, and the clean one can be used as normal
and that's pretty much all there is to it
there's also overkill solutions like Incognito which wipes the data off the NAND which Nintendo uses to fingerprint consoles, making it impossible for them to issue a ban
sand goblet
I'm sure they could just ban your account too
The swap doesn't sound like a terrible idea though
plucky ridge
The whole thing kind of sounds like an unnecessary risk, though
sand goblet
I did softmod the fuck out of my wii
but I kind of had to
it couldn't handle dual-layer DVDs
rough sapphire
I'm sure they could just ban your account too
@sand goblet
they could, but for whatever reason, they don't.
it's, like, never happened
all bans have been console bans
sand goblet
We'll see what happens I guess
plucky ridge
Sure, I'd softmod stuff that's no longer supported
But doing it to devices that are still in active service just seems like playing with fire
frosty berry
i guess if the benefit you derive from it is superior to the price of the device times your estimation of the risk of it being banned, then it's worth it
sand goblet
Homebrew is great, but outside of the emulators, I don't see it holding up a console the same way actual commercial games do
plucky ridge
Nope, just a way of extending the shelf life a bit
autumn herald
@rough sapphire i thought Nintendo had a sort of fuse that goes off when you hack the console and that's how they know
maybe i misunderstood tho
rough sapphire
no, fuses get blown when you do a system update
autumn herald
even a "legal" one?
rough sapphire
OFW checks the amount of burnt fuses each boot, if there's more fuses burnt than the firmware's check, it refuses to boot
to prevent downgrades
CFW patches fuse burns and checks
(as in, if you boot with CFW, you won't burn any extra fuses nor will the firmware stop booting if fuse count doesn't match)
rough sapphire
the game cart module has its own fuses
er
well
I'm not sure what you mean
there's IIRC 128 fuses total
autumn herald
i was wondering if Nintendo system upgrades would count in the total
rough sapphire
current latest OFW burns, what, fuses up to the 20th or something
autumn herald
so they can only do a certain amount of upgrades before burning all switch
ah okay
rough sapphire
each major update increases the fuse count
so they can do around 100 more major updates if I'm remembering my numbers correctly
autumn herald
no excuses for programmed obsolecence then
they have the power to burn all fuses if they wanted?
autumn herald
scary
rough sapphire
there was a sort of bricker going around a while ago which burnt all fuses
forcing you to forever use patched firmware to boot, bye bye OFW
autumn herald
i would burn them all in twenty years when i'll sell a switch remake š¤
rough sapphire
huh, I did misremember
it apparently only has 32 max fuses
11 of which are burnt with the current latest fw
There are 256 bits in the set of ODM_RESERVED fuses, and there are 8 ODM_RESERVED. This allows for 32 fuses, or 32 future FW versions (provided they burn a fuse on every major release).
rough sapphire
no
autumn herald
or opening the switch triggers somehting else
rough sapphire
only with future hardware revisions
fuses are wayyy deep in the SoC
and tiny
you won't be replacing those
plucky ridge
They're added to the board using industrial, computer controlled machinery
The likelihood that you'll have that much precision is close to nil
frosty berry
you'd probably need to change the whole chip, which is i guess one of the most expensive in the thing, right?
and basically impossible to source anyway
sand goblet
And the OFW will just burn them again anyway

A terrifyingly large number, I've found

do programmers qualify as people?
golden walrus
:(
non-programmers who know about a bit of the field don't really know the difference
I think I had to explain it to my sister when she started with JavaScript iirc
oak tangle
I think it's an easy mistake to make and I've seen a lot of confusion about it among beginners here
I mean, most a lot of people first learn about git in the context of GH
rough sapphire
of course programmers aren't people
golden walrus
I think it can be easy to understand if you mention other services, such as gitlab
terse sluice
way too many people think git and github are the same
golden walrus
uh, oh, I never did man git before
GIT(1) Git Manual GIT(1)
NAME
git - the stupid content tracker```git add confusion && git commit --allow-empty-message -m "" && git push --force --set-upstream brain permanent-memory
git commit -m is a habit I really needed to beat out of myself
it typically makes for crappy commit messages
tardy goblet
-m is an inline commit msg?
tardy goblet
oh. For some reason I never did that.... I do however, pretty much always git commit -a
and someone said it is bad
oak tangle
I think you can specify multiple -m arguments that get concatenated as separated paragraphs or something
I've recently started becoming more picky about my commits, but habits haven't quite caught up yet (I can be slightly chaotic jumping from thing to thing)
That means I need to do a lot of interactive git adds to pick right hunks to add/commit
sand goblet
I try to avoid using the command line for git
Since I find it a lot more inefficient than a keystroke or two
oak tangle
I don't mind it
I don't like most visual git tools, unless it's for more complicated merges
oak tangle
with the command line, I can just type in what I want to do; I don't have to look for it in some gui
sand goblet
I already know where everything is in the gui
sand goblet
Yeah, that's fair
tardy goblet
Which one you use gdude?
oak tangle
let me guess, pycharm?
tardy goblet
I recently installed git kraken
It has some nice visualization for branches and merges
tardy goblet
huh
sand goblet
You'll notice it if it does it to you, I had it completely messing up file encodings
tardy goblet
well tbh I don't use it to commit/push
but I like it's visual representation of branches/merges
commits
sand goblet
PyCharm/IDEA do have a basic visualiser
But it can be handy to have something more in depth, yeah
tardy goblet
is it part of free tools?
tardy goblet
ah right, I never explored it
sand goblet
It's always good to poke about
fervent dock
g, do you happen to know if it's possible to have pycharm default to an empty index when opening the commit window
as in, not have to untick everything manually if i just want to commit 1 change
sand goblet
I don't know, honestly
fervent dock
its just one click, sure, but its annoying to do all the time
sand goblet
Maybe the GitToolbox plugin has something for it
But I don't think I've seen an option
fervent dock
yeah i haven't seen an option either, it makes me upset, i committed changes accidentally a few times because of it
sand goblet
I feel like the majority of commits I make are more than one file
tardy goblet
kwzrd when first saw you I read your name as kwargs
sand goblet
Do try GitToolbox by the way, it's super useful even if it doesn't have that option
fervent dock
ok sure ill give it a try, thanks
i feel like i need a user's manual for pycharm lol
sand goblet
Haha, understandable
fervent dock
doesn't help that i used to use eclipse for java
wish i switched to jetbrains earlier
sand goblet
You could use it for Python too to be fair
undone berry
If you just want to commit one file, you can right click on that file to commit it. Although I think im misunderstanding
sand goblet
But I like jetbrains better
Oh yeah
Try using the double shift thing
It might have a commit file option
fervent dock
i like the commit dialogue, i just wish it didn't default to having all changes staged
sand goblet
Double shift gives you something you can type into for actions, files, settings, etc
I should use it more, it's super handy, I just forget about it
fervent dock
ill look into that and the git toolbox tomorrow, thanks

I used sourcetree exclusively (and just sort of dealt with the bugs), however, I've moved over to GitKraken and (aside from having to pay to use private repos), the only issue I had was when I had a cloned repo stored inside of a BoxDrive (or any other cloud service equivalent) directory. besides that, it's been working pretty well for me.

i'm about to burst a nurst
i've been trying to get the IP header for IPV6 packets using sock_raw for 3 days now
IPV6_HDRINCL does nothing
For IPv6 (address family of AF_INET6), an application receives everything after the last IPv6 header in each received datagram regardless of the IPV6_HDRINCL socket option. The application does not receive any IPv6 headers using a raw socket.
literally why
do i give up and just include libpcap
