// 1. run scan.js, backdoor n00dles and foodnstuff using the links provided
// 2. run this script, starts hacking those servers
// 3. once you have 200k, go to aevum, then run alain/casino.js
// 3a. go to tech store, buy darkweb, connect darkweb, buy -a
// 4. run scan.js, nuke and backdoor all available servers
// 5. run purchase.js, update with higher ram allowance (32>2048) if you have enough money
//   * run delete-pserv.js if there's an issue with buying the servers
// 6. run init.js, this will boot up stockmaster and stats, as well as starting the hack scripts running across all pservs and home
