gollark: ++radio disconnect
gollark: Yes, but those aren't operations-level.
gollark: Additionally, the security is kind of bad so I would basically have to give anyone else working on it full access to everything.
gollark: I refuse to delegate any osmarks.net operations because nobody else I know has the particular weird skillset (and knowledge of my code) necessary to run it.
gollark: (but I habitually say "we")
