Honours
Rosario Central[1]
gollark: I mean, skynet1 has the relay hooked up to it and that sends chatlogs, so you can access them in a really inconvenient format if the relay ever gets rebooted.
gollark: Well, that's fixed.
gollark: Wow, I need to update to skynet2 on stuff, skynet1's web log viewer broke somehow.
gollark: I have no idea why you would want that.
gollark: Okay, turns out that was just arraybuffers being stupid.
