gollark: Actually, I added some bodges to potatOS to make potatoshutdownpotatos work okay.
gollark: It should *probably* be designed to only open one socket connection at once, like modern skynets.
gollark: Ah, I see.
gollark: One issue with websockets which isn't really an issue for most setups is that since potatOS has about two open at once (skynet & SPUDNET) and the limit is quite low, it may not be possible to use websocket chatbox + potatOS.
gollark: test
