gollark: PotatOS now supports```luafs.dump([path]) -- dumps all stored FS data to a convenient tablefs.load(dump, [path]) -- load a dump back into the FS```which might be good for using tapes or something?
gollark: Presumably, nobody used potatOS.
gollark: It broke when I made disks work properly, because the path resolutiony mess is *hard*.
gollark: PotatOS's `fs.find` works again. Honestly, I don't know how nobody noticed.
gollark: 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘 🌑 🌒 🌓 🌔
