gollark: * logs incidents to
gollark: Right now I'm actually working on a web UI for the system it logs "incidents", i.e. people uninstalling it, disk signature validation errors, banned programs being run, sort of thing.
gollark: It comprises thousands of lines of bizarrely written code which does... stuff, and things. It kind of works like a fuzz tester for emulators and stuff because it does bizarre exotic things it possibly shouldn't and exposes bugs in things.
gollark: One of my largest projects is an "OS"/arguably-virus for ComputerCraft called PotatOS.
gollark: L-oo-a. I really need to learn the phonetic alphabet thing.
