Yep. And it’s perfectly legal, because the US never banned slavery.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

This project technically started in 2009, as part of another project called Dandelion (which then was renamed to Pines), then around 2014 I pulled it out into its own project, Nymph. I worked on it on and off, until 2021, when I rewrote it for Node.js as Nymph.js.
It now runs my email service, https://port87.com/

Yeah, that’s why I have a silk touch shovel, so I can pick up grass blocks.
Won’t someone think of the shareholders!
