Filmography
gollark: Can *your* OS do that?
gollark: By multiplying two smallish prime numbers (inaccessible to the user except via the debug API, if it was available in potatOS (it's not, fully)) to make a bigger *semi*prime it's possible to make a problem easy to generate but relatively hard to solve.
gollark: It's actually very fast.
gollark: ```lualocal function isprime(n) for i = 2, math.sqrt(n) do if n % i == 0 then return false end end return trueend local function findprime(from) local i = from while true do if isprime(i) then return i end i = i + 1 endend```
gollark: ```lua if settings.get "potatOS.removable" then potatOS.actually_really_uninstall = function(hedgehog) if hedgehog == "76fde5717a89e332513d4f1e5b36f6cb" then print "Hedgehog valid. Deleting potatOS main code." fs.delete "/autorun" else error "Invalid hedgehog! Expected 76fde5717a89e332513d4f1e5b36f6cb." end end end```Also this bit, optionally.
