Summary: kdeconnect's mdns server causes naming conflicts with

SUMMARY
kdeconnect listens to the mdns port and runs an mdns server, which conflicts
with avahi-daemon -- whenever I run both, and come up from sleep, my hostname
becomes hostname-2.local, due to a "Host name conflict, retrying with
myhostname-2"
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kdeconnect
2. Install avahi daemon
3. Put computer to sleep and back up (I suspect I can just turn networking on
and off)
OBSERVED RESULT
avahi-daemon freaks out about having multiple mdns stacks on the same machine:
May 28 19:13:55 kelvie-lws avahi-daemon[441170]: *** WARNING: Detected another
IPv4 mDNS stack running on this host. This makes mDNS unreliable and is thus
not recommended. ***
May 28 19:13:55 kelvie-lws avahi-daemon[441170]: *** WARNING: Detected another
IPv6 mDNS stack running on this host. This makes mDNS unreliable and is thus
not recommended. ***
kdeconnect also has these log lines, not sure if they're related:

kdeconnect.core: Error sending MDNS query response
May 28 19:14:38 kelvie-lws kdeconnectd[418933]: 2024-05-28T19:14:38

May 28 19:14:38 kelvie-lws kdeconnectd[418933]: 2024-05-28T19:14:38
kdeconnect.core: Error sending MDNS query response
EXPECTED RESULT
To be able to use kdeconnect without losing my original mdns name from
avahi-daemon
