gollark: You need a special key (managed via the HKI system) to connect as an admin, but none as a client.
gollark: The basic idea is that your client devices run a ~~backdoor~~ remote debugging interface which receives commands from admin systems connected to SPUDNET.
gollark: Also some protocol docs for v4 written for heavpoot, which cover the MAIN features but not HKI or reports.
