gollark: (precise implementation details TBD)

gollark: I'm sure everyone will be excited about this; potatOS now implements LOGGING!

gollark: You could genetically engineer both, right? I mean, there's a lot of overlap, and the genetic engineering technology should allow both.

gollark: You should be using cooler compression algorithms like zstdandard.

gollark: Wow, nginx has many cool features I am not using.
