gollark: You should use a Haskell program to generate bash code to generate Amulet code.
gollark: Weird thing I noticed today: my desktop, which was plugged in and had the PSU on, but was off according to the front panel power light, was showing Ethernet connectivity and network activity on my cheap switch. Even though the status lights on the actual network port (on the computer, not switch) were off.
gollark: I kind of want to make a random password constraint generator.
gollark: *your password must be between 8 and 4003 characters in length, the length must be a prime number not ending in 7, and it must contain one or nine Egyptian hieroglyphs, at least one valid SQL command, the tears of a unicorn, and a proof or disproof of P = NP*
gollark: What about ~~foolish~~ places which limit password length to 0.5KB?
