gollark: Wow, this is very inactive.

gollark: Hi. I've firmed Bristol (for maths and computer science) and this seemed like a reasonable place to look at things in advance of actually going there.

gollark: Very little, since it's only me and a few friends.

gollark: "Okay" meaning good tick times and relatively few `couldn't keep up` errors.

gollark: My mostly unused 1.12 server with about 60 mods runs okay on 3.5GB.
