Independent awards

OCIC Award[7]

gollark: It's unnecessary code duplication and more room for fragility.
gollark: It does all the network checking itself.
gollark: Yes, because they needed to add a bunch of code to *it* to handle that.
gollark: > journalctl is not greatWell, I can conveniently check "hmm yes what has this service outputted in the last few minutes", follow logs, and specify stuff like "dnscrypt-proxy should only start when the network goes up".
gollark: I don't think UK curricula cover them until A level.
