gollark: Actually, you won't get much better than 240 bytes/s, just roughly that.
gollark: Adjacent computers can read each other's labels.
gollark: You can actually do much better than that using labels.
gollark: Yes, but since they don't turn up on the network as transfer locations, this will involve horrible special cases.
gollark: Also, introspection modules are really annoying and I will have to *compromise the purity of my code* for this.
