Nomenclatural note
The name Smerinthus is apparently derived from the Greek feminine noun 'Merinthos', but has been Latinised with the masculine -us ending and is thus, according to the ICZN article 30.1.3,[2] masculine.[3] As the ICZN rules that species names that are adjectives should agree in gender with the genus name, the common use of Smerinthus ocellata for the widespread European species Smerinthus ocellatus is incorrect.
gollark: Anyway, perhaps you would like to... *test* a potatOS computer?
gollark: You said `or even a cc emulator in cc`, please stop being hypocritical.
gollark: jrengen: look at discord, you can see that bit of code the potatOS sandbox has for, OH LOOK, running the BIOS inside a filesystem sandboxing.
gollark: ```lualocal function run(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides, init) local env = make_environment(root_directory, overlay, API_overrides) if type(init) == "table" and init.URL then init = fetch(init.URL) end init = init or fetch "https://pastebin.com/raw/wKdMTPwQ" env.init_code = init local out, err = load(init, "@init.lua", "t", env) if not out then error(err) end env.hypercalls.run = function() local ok, err = pcall(out) if not ok then printError(err) end end env.hypercalls.run()end```
