gollark: PotatOS is able to make omnidisks somewhat unduplicateable, *but* that only works because their value comes from being cryptographically signed and able to run in privileged mode on potatOS - you can run them anywhere else, it just won't be useful.
gollark: Anyway, you can't really copy-protect software in CC. At all. The best you can do is use a bunch of obfuscation techniques together to make it mildly hard to do anything with it, and add some code to check computer ID or something.
gollark: I really ought to move to osmarks.net or something for critical services like the potatOS backend servers.
gollark: Freenom require you to renew your domain 2 weeks before it expires, lest they take it away and charge money.
gollark: They really should use potatOS's *good* UUID generator.
