Statorless p6
The statorless p6 is a period-6 oscillator discovered by Dean Hickerson in August 1989.[1] It is one of the few known period 6 oscillators without a stator, giving it a volatility of exactly 1.

Strictly volatile variant
Additionally, a variant of this oscillator exists which is strictly volatile (i.e. all cells oscillate with period 6 rather than period 2 or 3). A 30-glider synthesis for said variant was found on October 4, 2019 based on a soup submitted to Catagolue.[2]

gollark: Skynet: simple websocket-based data transfer (ask if you want the server code).Use with `local skynet = require "skynet"````skynet.receive(channel) - receive a message on the given channel - returns channel, message, metadataskynet.send(channel, data, [meta]) - send a message (can be any JSON-serializable type) on the given channelskynet.listen() - convert "websocket_message"s to "skynet_message"sskynet.open(channel) - opens "channel"```

gollark: You could just autodownload mEXT/skynet.
gollark: (note that for obvious reasons you cannot *send* to a specific socket ID)
gollark: I mean, the metadata is more of "entire response object", so you also get the ID of the websocket sending it, and the message ID.
