gollark: A little.
gollark: That could be cool. mDNS or something to detect other computers could work, or it could just blindly broadcast and receive multicast packets.
gollark: Though it might be also a good idea to go the other way and use... buildroot or something?
gollark: Like I said, though, it may be a good idea to build off an existing Linux distribution (a lightweight one like Alpine), so you can get nice things like a package manager.
gollark: Very cool. I had the vague idea of bodging Alpine Linux a bit to directly boot into a CC emulator and then PotatOS, with a few services on the host to provide the ability to execute commands and whatnot from CC, but you... actually implemented something like that, which is a lot better.
