## About The Pull Request
This is a continuation of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74085 - I announced in the
comments there that this would be my next PR, and this is it.
Removes SSnetwork, ``/datum/ntnet``,
``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, ``var/network_root_id``, the
network unit test, and a lot of other things related to networks.
- NTNet circuits now check for an Ntnet relay, and uses signals to
operate.
- Logs in Wirecarp is now only for PDA and Ntnet Relay things, so you
can no longer see what ruins exist using it (why should Wirecarp know
that Oldstation spawned? The flavor is that they dont know its there).
- Removed it from MULEbots entirely, I don't think it even did anything
for them? Botkeeper seems to work without it, so it's possibly there
from pre-tgui PDAs.
- Moves assigning random names to a base proc instead of being tied to
network, this is things like random-naming scrubbers/vents. The behavior
hasn't changed at all.
- Makes Ntos work for consoles when relays are down, as the comments
said they're supposed to (because they're wired). I think this was an
accidental change on my part, so this is a revert of that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ntnet is ancient code that hasn't given us much that we can't do with
already existing alternatives, we've been slowly moving away from it for
init times, and though a large portion of that was limited to airlocks,
I still don't think this is a system worth keeping around.
It's way too complex to expect feature coders to do anything with it,
and too old with better alternatives for anyone to want to improve any
of it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Computers are now properly connected to Ethernet, and can use Ntos
when Relays are down.
refactor: Removes Ntnet and Ntnet interfaces, which was only used by
Ntnet circuits (which now directly checks for a Relay to work) and
MULEbots, which did nothing with it.
balance: Wirecarp no longer tells you what ruins spawned in a round,
instead it's limited to PDA logs, and tells you the source too. This
means the RD can catch someone running illegal programs if they don't
make any attempt at hiding it.
qol: Wirecarp logs is now set to save 300 at once, instead of 100 and
being increased to 300 by the RD during the round. This is pretty
insignificant, since there's no reason to NOT want as many logs as
possible.

## About The Pull Request
Removes NtNet softwaredownload/communication because they did nothing,
so this also removes the feature to shut them off from Wirecarp
I removed tablets from being added to networks, Tablets already generate
logs for actions they do, which is already enough for the effects it has
in-game (just being visible to Wirecarp), once NtNet is deleted from
everything else then we can move it to ModPCs and limit logging to only
ModPC actions.
Fixes shutting off ntnet relays from Wirecarp, now you can properly shut
off Ntnet, and the warning that it kicks you out of the program is now
true.
Gives the Holodeck it's own network root define and fixes Syndicate
network showing up on Wirecarp
Wirecarp's PDA logs now shows the source of an action
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves ModPCs further from NTNet so we can move towards deleting it
entirely
Makes Wirecarp more responsible and trustworthy
Removes useless stuff that never gets used, simplifying a overthought
overcomplicated system.

balance: Wirecarp now properly shuts off NtNet remotely.
balance: Wirecarp now shows the source of a PDA that does an action.
fix: Wirecarp can no longer be used to see if Nukies exist through their
networks.
del: Removes Software downloading and communication Ntnet networks, as
they were pretty worthless.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the modular computer subsystem which is meant to replace mod PC's
reliance on networks and radios, specifically the network subsystem, the
ntnet interface, and /datum/ntnet. This PR removes station_root ntnets
entirely, but I tried to keep it small.
This PR also removes a ton of unused vars and defines, such as NTNet
channels that were unused (peer2peer and systemcontrol), atmos networks
(as they were removed a while ago) and NTNet var on relays (its stated
purpose is so admins can see it through varedits, but that's useless now
that it's a subsystem)
I also removed ``setting_disabled`` as a thing the RD can do, it turned
off ALL ntnet systems. However, this was when there were 4 different
ones, now that there's only 2 I thought it was redundant and he could
just click 2 buttons to close them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
``/datum/ntnet``, ``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, and
``/datum/controller/subsystem/networks`` are all old-code messes that
depend on eachother and is hard for people to understand what exactly it
adds to the game. 90% of its features is allowing the Wirecarp app to
see all the ruins that spawned in-game, which I don't think is something
that we even WANT (why does the RD need to know that oldstation spawned?
Why should they know this anyway??)
This hopefully starts to simplify networks/ntnet to make it easier to
remove in the future, because surely there are better alternatives than
**this**
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Modular computers NTnet and applications run on its own
subsystem, please report any new bugs you may find.
