gollark: SPUDNET uses purely string channels and has per-channel keybased authentication.

gollark: As a mostly internal service for PotatOS and such it is also not open sourced.

gollark: I'm osmarks, the web UI is mine, and the new URL is skynet.osmarks.net. I don't think it allows tables as channels now. SPUDNET is more complex and somewhat poorly documented.

gollark: There are other projects in this space like soqet with authentication, but the design called for making it as trustless and simple as possible so skynet requires you to do encryption and stuff yourself (SPUDNET, another project of mine, does *not* do this and does have a fairly complex authorization system, but is used in different areas).

gollark: Someone here made something which meddles with the peripheral API to make it emulate actual modem peripherals, but by default the API is quite different.
