Notes

    gollark: Oracle Cloud has a weirdly generous free plan which I use for some Minecraft servers.
    gollark: I MAY join at a future or past time.
    gollark: That units (GNU/Units?) thing seems very useful. They should advertise it more.
    gollark: ... hi?
    gollark: Can you just write binaries onto it through the shell they give you? Small ones.
