You know, stuff like neighbour discovery works much better when the packets can actually arrive at the interface. I&#39;ve been fighting this weirdness, on and off, for months and in the end just used legacy IP for the back haul instead. I had an epiphany jus...

    We&amp;#39;ve been watching the Artemis 2 live stream for almost 4 hours now and it&amp;#39;s just amazing to see how much better the comms and video equipment is compared to the Apollo missions. The amount of data available through sites like the one below is just astonishing. https://artemis.jakobrosin.com/ #Artemis2 #SpaceNerd
