gollark: Unfortunately it seems like BOTH my plans to observe your code failed, so I can only try and puzzle it out from the video.
gollark: Also it's impossible to view it without JS enabled.
gollark: I would suspect you're overwriting the public key then loading some signed code, but the loadstring looks too short for a signature.
gollark: It does? Neat.
gollark: Why the `shell.run` *and* `loadstring` though?
