gollark: See, it's important to download and install security patches as soon as possible to minimize the amount of time you go around with insecure software with vulnerabilities now known to everyone. But my internet connection is slow. So the solution is simple - download the software updates after release, then send them back in time to a few hours before release and apply them then.
gollark: The osmarks.tk closed timelike curve has a lot of spare capacity, we mostly use it to speed up software updates.
gollark: *Or* get access to the information you want in the future, then use the osmarks.tk closed timelike curve to send it back to now.
