gollark: Clever idea!
gollark: <@212016618727931904> What is "your stuff"? Most stuff can run fine over raw modem links.
gollark: Of course, the best way to communicate is through *lasers*. A laser going through your detection area during some amount of time is 1. No laser is 0. You can now very slowly send binary.
gollark: 7 bit/char 10Hz digital links.
gollark: I have actually written code for messaging over wireless redstone links. Not Morse code, though.
