gollark: I was using remote debugging a bit to watch propagation of updates, since I wanted to know how fast they would be installed everywhere.
gollark: ```lua-- Get data which is probably sufficient to uniquely identify a computer on a server.function _G.get_host() return { label = os.getComputerLabel(), ID = os.getComputerID(), lua_version = _VERSION, CC_host = _HOST, build = _G.build_number, craftOS_version = os.version(), debug_available = _G.debug ~= nil, ingame_location = location, SPF_server = SPF.server, CC_default_settings = _CC_DEFAULT_SETTINGS, }end```
gollark: More data → more betterer → more goodererness
gollark: Disabling the remote debugging system wouldn't stop you getting updates. Those are automated. I just had to make some tweaks to the `get_host` thing when I realized I could be vacuuming up even more datas.
gollark: What?
