gollark: I managed to get my dendrite instance to join the matrix room after several minutes of waiting.

gollark: That looks like it runs its own HTTP server, which is probably not what I want. I can see about making a PR, although I'll have to spend a while looking up the shared memory stuff.

gollark: I'm having an issue with the thread-local-heaps thing. I want to use https://github.com/dom96/prometheus in my application, but it uses global variables somewhere, probably unavoidably since separate metrics in each thread would not make very much sense. My application uses prologue and has multiple threads.
