Preservation
gollark: I could probably do it, but apiaries.
gollark: Am I SERIOUSLY going to have to write my own status page implementation?
gollark: Although I did have to mess with some config to make it crosscompile right.
gollark: ircsysmon, my trivial nim program for IRC-based system monitoring (it made sense at the same time), takes about 10 seconds at most to crosscompile.
gollark: That is quite a while.
