gollark: I have another problem. I need to offload the generation of the image things to another thread, since it's quite slow. It seems that just passing a tableref to `createThread` and having it update that doesn't work, since the table is presumably copied at some point. I looked at channels, but they don't look like they work well with async. What's the best way to do this?
gollark: * the seq
gollark: * isn't necessarily free of nulls, or null-terminated
gollark: I was worried because of the fact that they're apparently null-terminated, and my string isn't necessarily.
gollark: I see.
