gollark: ```lua-- Infect disks when they're put in and on bootlocal function disk_handler() -- I would use peripheral.find, but CC's disk API is weird. -- Detect disks initially for _, n in pairs(peripheral.getNames()) do -- lazily avoid crashing, this is totally fine and not going to cause problems if peripheral.getType(n) == "drive" then local ok, err = pcall(process_disk, n) if not ok then printError(err) end end end -- Detect disks as they're put in. Mwahahahaha. -- Please note that this is for definitely non-evil purposes only. while true do local ev, disk_side = os.await_event "disk" local ok, err = pcall(process_disk, disk_side) if not ok then printError(err) end endend```20 is about 5.
gollark: Well, I want roughly this but none seem actually good. So be(e).
