gollark: Fun fact: dumping tapes is faster than loading them, since Computronics only allows reading in 256-byte blocks, unless that was fixed.
gollark: Except its stack traces conflict with the potatOS built in ones...
gollark: Huh, MBS works now!
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.
