gollark: There's a significant difference between "send datagram" and "push to a stream" and, i don't know, "wait for an inbound TCP connection".
gollark: Still, though, I don't think having all this stuff as read/writeable "files" when the semantics are different is good.
gollark: I basically just want to receive packets from ff02::aeae port 44718 on all interfaces and send them too, and I can't tell what operations that maps to.
