@SuricrasiaOnline cursed countermeasure: instead of ubuntu, linux entries are now placed in an entirely empty filesystem and run as PID1

@SuricrasiaOnline heh, reminds me of "golfing languages"

sometimes a call myself a fag or faggot. sometimes as part of working through my relationship with fisher society, sometimes just because it feels straightforwardly good to self-id that way. I feel weird CWing self-identifiers so this is my account-level warning on this.
