gollark: https://github.com/micromaomao/serverwatch seems acceptable, thoughts?
gollark: I mean, all it really has to do is HTTP-request a URL every 5 minutes or so, see if it works, run a webserver with this, possibly send another HTTP request (webhÖok) if it fails, and... aggregate historical uptime statistics somehow.

gollark: Although I did have to mess with some config to make it crosscompile right.
