gollark: ABR has not yet imploded, since it hasn't imported any modules lately.

gollark: 17 is too new a version for 1.12.2 servers, the correct ones.

gollark: Why does my server have Java 17 on it? What was I *using* that for?

gollark: The GrapheneOS docs say something about needing 16GB of RAM for LTO of something or other.

gollark: On my *headless* Raspberry Pi.
