Power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows someone to act on behalf of another person. In Avatar: The Last Airbender, the Avatar's authority is believed to super- sede that of sovereign rulers. This means that the Avatar could administer capital punishment to any resident of the world, without due process.

So, for fun, I rewrote bufo.zone in Go. It more than halved my memory usage, and the P99 response times dropped by 175ms (200 - 25)
