gollark: * TCPUNCH
gollark: Maybe running punching at layer 5 or 6 might make more sense, actually.
gollark: Perhaps an extension to HTTP with a PUNCH method, like the HTCPCP.
gollark: <@357932279231807488> This is why we need some sort of standard for punching over the internet.
gollark: I think a better solution would be a gender-neutral singular pronoun which you can actually distinguish from a plural one, but nobody seems to want that.
