Rustaceans: I'm having an issue nailing down a bug.

When I specify a crate using just cc = "1.0.73" in various cargo.toml files, the build fails saying that MSVC cannot be found.

However, when I clone the repo and use the same version but specifying the path:

cc = { path = "C:\\Users\\...." }

The build runs just fine.

I even tried specifying the path that cargo caches crates, and that also successfully builds.

I'm at a loss as to what to focus on next

If it's not DNS, then it's DNS, but if it's *really* not DNS, it's IPv6

@thegibson Encrypted DMs would mean having to stray from the ActivityPub standard as it speaks not of encrypted content and would likely not interact well with federation in that sense
