gollark: `gps`, not `rednet`.
gollark: (or even, by multilaterating the position of the computer sending the GPS ping, break GPS for *specific locations*, to make them... possibly harder to target for some things, I don't know)
gollark: (which reminded me of some other evil idea someone came up with - the `gps` API sends your computer's ID with GPS pings, so in theory, if you controlled most GPS servers in one dimension, you could completely mess up or subtly offset certain people's GPS)
gollark: I also added a small note to https://wiki.computercraft.cc/Gps.locate about the results not always being reliable, since GPS is kind of vulnerable to spoofing.
gollark: It's more of a general guide-type thing explaining how to set up GPS hosts than information on how to use `gps host` itself.
