     @nixCraft 5.2x #compression support for #Linux & #initramfs (#SiliconValley)...

     Because that'll basically allow me to shove @landley 's #mkroot onto one 1440kB 3,5" FDD and get @OS1337 with basically no shimming of the #Linux Kernel and #toybox.

     Also it's likely the least absurd and most realistic "sci-fi tech" that is code and not completely absurd fantasy by virtue of requiring tons of #Unobtanium...
