gollark: If you're okay with hardcoding the time/date you're waiting for, you can generate the Unix timestamp for it with another thing and just get the difference between that and `os.epoch "utc"`.

gollark: It needs to be pastebin.com/**raw**/whatever.

gollark: You can get the time/date in UTC and localtime with `os.date` or something, and Unix time, but I don't think there's a way to parse dates.

gollark: The rest of `pastebin` is mostly just argument parsing. Well, and handling other stuff like `put` and `run`.

gollark: The *important* bit is just that it downloads the *raw* file from pastebin, then writes it to startup.
