gollark: Arguably true bogocalc would be picking results (according to some kind of weird random distribution which technically has a chance of picking any possible number) until they can be verified to be right.
gollark: For speed, lz4. For general compatibility and relative simplicity, DEFLATE. For performance and decent ratio, zstd.
