Personnel
gollark: In essence, none are safe.
gollark: And me and baidicoot were looking at getting a cheap VPS with 250Mbps, which would allow 3000 outgoing voice chats.
gollark: According to my calculations, my internet connection's upload is good enough to stream into 20 voice chats without making a big dent in it.
gollark: I really ought to make a feature which streams osmarks internet radio™ directly into arbitrary voice chats.
gollark: And used it subtly.
