Well believe it or not, I used to do it too, by forwarding it directly to the lan host on port 9. No broadcasting required, just a regular UDP packet. I had a really shitty ISP router.

Would have to try again but I’m almost certain it would work, as long as the computer’s MAC address is still in the router’s ARP table.

Brilliant.

So relatable. Aight lemme overshare a little too (TW: sadness).

My oldest memory is my dad yelling at my mom while 3yo me runs to my room crying, and looking for my teddy bear so I can get a little comfort. Fuck I’m crying again.
