Reproduction
gollark: I'm going to assume it doesn't work anyway, as Discord isn't displaying an embed for it.
gollark: You don't have a dynamic IP or something?
gollark: Also, can you access this? I'm testing if my network's IPv6 address thingies are externally accessible. http://[2a00:23c7:5401:a500:946e:383d:f790:3cea]:19999
gollark: I might have to rewrite it in Rust to make it work properly.
gollark: Install itself to run on login, connect to command & control servers, sort of thing.
