gollark: On v2 disks the code which is loaded will download the second stage environment from the internet with a few parameters passed in; on v1 disks it's just loaded directly.
gollark: AES-256.
gollark: Anyway, quick rundown of OmniDisk execution: first, an OmniDisk's digital signature is checked against the stored public key. I can't invalidate signatures remotely, so any disk I've ever issued will still *run* under the privileged potatOS environment.
