Points awarded by Lithuania
gollark: It appears to be secure enough that Chervil has not installed Flare on my test system.
gollark: RCEoR now has a fix for the bug where supplied code could mutate the environment given.
gollark: I don't know why it does share the envs, in any case, but still.
gollark: Anyway, the system does run on a whitelist. I am about to implement more security via non-shared envs for each thing.
gollark: Now it's... slightly less jokey maybe?
