gollark: I think it might actually crash if you don't connect it up to APIONET.
gollark: It's simple; just `git clone`, `python3 src/main.py`, realize that I don't list the dependencies you need or actually know them, `pip install --user` until it stops erroring, realize that you don't know what's meant to be in the config file, briefly complain about my use of TOML, grep for `util.config` and fill in stuff, ???, AutoBotRobot.
gollark: Maybe you should replace QB with ABR for now.
gollark: How exciting.
gollark: What if ddrescue?
