gollark: I'm still not entirely sure what happened, but I fixed it.
gollark: Basically, there was an issue in the PotatOS filesystem sandbox which resulted in paths outside the allowed area being... somehow... redirected to either themselves or a directory containing themselves or something like that.
gollark: I accidentally made the filesystem infinitely recursive.
gollark: I think it's mostly backwards compatible.
gollark: I've been having fun with VirtualOS lately and seeing just how much I can nest it before the peripheral calls go over the limit.
