gollark: Time to RANDOMLY RECONFIGURE OSMARKS.TK AGAIN!
gollark: An AI designed to write optimized BF versions of itself will be far too confused by reality to wipe out humans.
gollark: We should make self-improving AIs in esolangs so that their internal models of things will be far enough from reality that they cannot destroy humanity.
gollark: What if your AI takes over the world or something?
gollark: Because caddy is being annoying, and because I cannot be bothered to try and work out how caddy v2 works, I'm switching some osmarks.tk services back to nginx.
