gollark: Are you using dimscord or the other one?
gollark: It's full-featured because it has 2 features and we didn't want the other ones much.
gollark: ApioServ is a full-featured replacement for the nonfunctional "atheme" instance you ran, written in Nim and using my great* implementation of the ngircd server to server protocol.
gollark: Also ApioServ, not that that's operating right now.
gollark: Anyway, there's a program which sends system load/CPU/RAM use alerts on APIONET somewhere from the HNode™, the RSAPI IRC interface for IncDec/now playing/nothing else whatsoever, Testbot, and AutoBotRobot's IRC interfacing.
