He carries his bowels in his head, which explains what comes

While I agree with you, it has fsck-all to do with Linux.

I built my latest kernel Monday morning, but didn't boot it until
just a few minutes ago.

$ uname -a
Linux lm 6.11.3 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Oct 14 06:25:38 PDT 2024 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Build of my kitchen-sink kernel took...

real 436.52
user 21765.03
sys 3686.62

....using RAMdisk on this system which uses an
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core Processor.

Wandering

What is the difference between assent and denial?
What is the difference between beautiful and ugly?
What is the difference between fearsome and afraid?
The people are merry as if at a magnificent party
Or playing in the park at springtime,
But I am tranquil and wandering,
Like a newborn before it learns to smile,
Alone, with no true home.
The people have enough and to spare,
Where I have nothing,
And my heart is foolish,
Muddled and cloudy.
The people are bright and certain,
Where I am dim and confused;
The people are clever and wise,
Where I am dull and ignorant;
Aimless as a wave drifting over the sea,
Attached to nothing.
The people are busy with purpose,
Where I am impractical and rough;
I do not share the peoples' cares
But I am fed at nature's breast.
-- Lao Tse, "Tao Te Ching"
