gollark: Usually it's my extremely janky WiFi network failing, but it seems to be working fine today. I'll tracepathize it.
gollark: It might be that, or my internet connection. I can't really tell.
gollark: I can't actually do anything except move around slightly. I would have assumed it was a network issue, but htop says I'm only doing a few tens of KB/s.
gollark: I am experiencing brokenness.
gollark: Magical forest. There's one nearby.
