gollark: Er, in skynet?
gollark: Also also also, I had a good idea: federation! Allow the skynet server to exchange data with other ones it trusts.
gollark: Also also, it's a *modem* replacement, rednet is marginally higher-level.
gollark: I think Ale32bit *also* did, though his was probably made after skynet.
gollark: `skynet.logs()` in the lua client, `{"type": "log"}` in the raw JSON protocol.
