Hot take, #P2P protocols shouldn't use MDNS for peer discovery if they don't plan to use the OS provided APIs for it. Only one process can reliably bind the UDP port necessary for it and it quickly leads to conflicts. At the very least you should use a custom port to avoid conflicting with the OS.
Simulating network requests to test a new feature in @distributed
You know how when you follow an account on Mastodon you don't get to see any of the users older posts unless someone else on your instance follows them? Well if it's a distributed press site it'll attempt to "backfill" your instance with all the older posts once your follow request is accepted. ๐
