gollark: Anyway, this should allow a working potatoOS™ install to be shipped as only threeish or fourish files!
gollark: It would be fully eldritch, but opening portals to the fourteenth plane is currently unavailable in Python.
gollark: I've actually managed to convert much of the potatOS code into a single file now! It's amazing what you can do with a somewhat eldritch build process and lots of fiddling!
gollark: Are you concerned about the security of P2P potatoUPDATES™?
gollark: No, and why.
