gollark: ... yes, should I be worried?
gollark: The closest thing is the LAN command daemon, for administration on local networks, which Tau *gained* a while ago, but it only allows shutdown, reboot and update or something like that.
gollark: Nope! Tau dropped that ages ago.
gollark: Interesting fact: there is a dedicated PotatOS backup bunker in case of all life on the surface of the overworld being wiped out. It's a solid sphere of bedrock buried in some location somewhere with storage, dedicated melon machines, a trilaterator, and a copy of the potatOS DSK.
gollark: Yep!
