Personnel
gollark: I mean, if you were feeling mean you could think of it as "webserver doing basically nothing whatsoever uses 25MB of RAM and does garbage collection every hour or so", but that would be mean and is thus impossible.
gollark: Surprisingly, SPUDNET only uses about 25MB of RAM.
gollark: Maybe if I just give `/bin/node` suid.
gollark: This is a problem.
gollark: I would rewrite sudo in this, but `suid` only works on compiled binaries.
