  how does the monero software discover what my external address is?
• 10:16
  narodnik
  that is when the software is configured to automatically do that
• 10:16
  moneromooo
  Connect to peer, peer tells you what it sees.
• 10:17
  narodnik
  is it querying the local interfaces to find the link with a global ipv6 address? or does it just make a request to some website like icanhazip.com?
• 10:17
  narodnik
  ah ok ty, that's even better
• 10:17
  moneromooo
  Actually, I'm not sure if it does this, but it's the canonical way.

  moneromooo: or it can use a stun server but I don't remember seeing any mention of that anywhere.

  narodnik: ^

  moneromooo
  monerod does not use stun.

  ok but i'm curious what monero itself does
• 11:21

  moneromooo: exactly

  monerod uses UPnP to open ports on the router. It can find out external IP from the router

  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> miniupnp dependency is an abomination
• 12:20
  moneromooo
  Thankfully, it's optional (--no-igd)

  does somebody know how to make monero use github.com/monero-project/monero/bl…r/contrib/depends/packages/boost.mk, but link everything else dynamically?

  Arch Linux really wants to move to this new boost version, but I don't have the time to backport the fixes on master to the last release from August 2024 :(
• 18:58
  kpcyrd
  so I figured this might work as a compromise, considering there's a new release in the works anyway

  I tried `make release-static` but it seems it's still looking for a system-install of boost
• 19:59

  <s​yntheticbird:monero.social> kpcyrd I'm surprised tho that it causes issue with boost. Arch Linux is within CI and the workflow update boost to latest version: github.com/monero-project/monero/ac…ns/runs/13150719096/job/36697566017

  s​yntheticbird: it's for 1.87.0 in [extra-staging], once monero is fixed boost moves to the regular repository archlinux.org/packages/extra-staging/x86_64/boost

  the master branch would still build out of the box, but the last release doesn't

  I got the monero package to include boost statically, adding `-D STATIC=ON` to monero-gui breaks however:
