WIP socket shenanigans [!!!]

this commit is mostly trash lol

[!!!] Editor's note: Okay, after rebasing this commit is *super*
spooky! It's interacting with a bunch of stuff that was previously
handled in a merge commit and the revised changes may or may not
be totally broken. If in doubt, assume this commit is the root
of all evil (probably).
