gollark: That would work, I suppose, although you can just use one of the x86 machines.

gollark: Anyway, we have many available hosting octachorons™: you can choose from our main server, a random raspberry pi plugged into it, technically a spare smartphone, VPS 1, and VPS 2, which is ARM-based.

gollark: As planned.

gollark: Well, TLS is handled by nginx on our osmarksplatforms™ so it's fine.
