Species

Species include:

gollark: You need a domain and you need some software on the server, but it's quite easy.
gollark: Nope, it's mostly automated now.
gollark: Some stuff will complain without it.
gollark: Not strictly.
gollark: We're on Tailscale now (via custom server software, of course, for selfhostedness) instead of Wireguard directly, so configuration is much easier.
