gollark: Turns out nodejs packages *really* love compiling C(++) dependencies from source. So now `npm` is doing that, on my *phone* CPU.

gollark: I am beginning to regret using NodeJS for this project, after trying to install it on my phone.
gollark: Except my phone, sadly I don't have one which can run ArchLinuxARM. *Yet*.
gollark: I'm in the fortunate position of not needing any Windows applications, so I just run (arch btw) Linux on all my devices!
