gollark: Eh, Rust makes big binaries and probably won't let me do some insane dubious hackery which could help.
gollark: If I rewrote it as a really compact C program with no external dependencies (except maybe libc) I suppose it would have a number of advantages.
gollark: So good enough, really. Making viruses spread is hard. I guess it could detect USB sticks or (if it was smaller) somehow append itself to executables you compile.
gollark: But it slightly hides itself and runs automatically and runs commands I send and whatnot.
gollark: Also, the tool I use to compile it to a binary isn't very good.
