gollark: Oh, and will setting the label 20 times a second cause lag or something?
gollark: If it means "only those codepoints", I think this should allow for at least 6 bits per "character", or 192 for a full label, which is enough for 24 bytes per tick. Each way. With compression, potatOS should be transferable in only *minutes*.
gollark: Yes, I got that much.
gollark: I don't know exactly what it does.
