gollark: Anyway! The next bit of code checks that the OmniDisk's UUID (this is not the disk ID, this is added as part of the signed code when the disk is written) is in the list downloaded from the internet, and verifies the allowed permissions and stuff.
gollark: GAAAAAH SO STUPID AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
gollark: On v2 disks the code which is loaded will download the second stage environment from the internet with a few parameters passed in; on v1 disks it's just loaded directly.
gollark: AES-256.
gollark: Anyway, quick rundown of OmniDisk execution: first, an OmniDisk's digital signature is checked against the stored public key. I can't invalidate signatures remotely, so any disk I've ever issued will still *run* under the privileged potatOS environment.
