gollark: I mean, there are much bigger ones, potatOS is "only" 4000 lines of code (excluding libraries and bundled programs).

gollark: The new one is much better - it contains less code (if you ignore the giant cryptography libraries someone else wrote), can do partial updates, and can even cryptographically verify the updates to prevent tampering (probably).
gollark: The old updater thing actually used to just download files directly from pastebin every time it detected a change in one of them, but pastebin started being annoying and I decided I wanted stuff like version control.
gollark: Technically yes, but why?
