gollark: ubq, I have prepared a "mostly working binary".
gollark: You configure it by manually updating a SQLite database!
gollark: I may eventually have to have some optional JS for a latency graph, but it shouldn't be necessary for basic features.
gollark: Nope.
gollark: *And*, unlike statping, it serves clients with something like 3KB of static HTML/CSS.
