gollark: Oh, come to think of it, it would be cool if potatOS could do P2P update if there's no internet connection somehow. Which is probably one of the things git is designed for. Hmmm.
gollark: I have backups of various older versions of it, too.
gollark: No, there are just a lot of files on pastebin and it's hard to track down all the places potatOS randomly downloads things.
gollark: ... if I can find it, actually.
gollark: Anyway, I figure I'll start on the whole project *now* by creating a folder™ containing all the potatOS code.
