I made this Python script on Debian,
so those are Linux instructions.

I don't even know if they have Conky for Windows,
So you're 'prolly out of luck if you're on that system.

Also, my Conky config looks like this:

conky.config = {
	alignment = 'top_right',
	background = false,
	border_outer_margin = 5,
	border_width = 1,
