Notes
    gollark: It's modular too? Hmm.
    gollark: You have a currency API thing? Interesting.
    gollark: It also now communicates with icecast to harvest a current listener count.
    gollark: Among many other things it fetches information from the MPD instance running my internet radio system, but after several hours it just stops working for ??? reasons.
    gollark: This is the one which is partly broken for no reason.
