Description

Distribution

This marine species of cone snail occurs off Madagascar

gollark: It has 4GB of RAM, so I have to economize a bit.
gollark: Although I am in the somewhat odd position of my server being worse than my niceish laptop performancewise.
gollark: If its main advantage is that you can run your own server and it can magically run a room as a distributed thing on all of them, you should be able to actually run a server.
gollark: I'm mostly concerned with the server bloat.
gollark: But this also probably merges identity servers with the chat servers. Although maybe that was necessary anyway.
