gollark: It should run perfectly fine on a raspberry pi, if you wanted to do that, so it's not particularly *hard* to keep it going.
gollark: I imagine I'd probably not want to not run it, but it's MIT-licensed, so basically do whatever as long as the copyright notice is kept.
gollark: As in, do that on the client.
gollark: You can configure skynet to use your server by doing `skynet.server = 'wss://your.server/connect/' after importing it but before connecting.
gollark: Ah, easy - `git clone` the repository, `npm install`, `node src/index.js`.
