lobotomizing Windows for fun, diary of a masochistic Linux slime 

So for reasons I am looking into having a second, smaller drive for running Windows 10. However those who know me well can probably infer it will look nothing like a normal windows install (and be right). I like removing as many system components as possible, and replacing them with open source hobbyist replacements that don't rely on Windows update. You can probably guess a few defaults applications I will purge before I even let an installer hit my disk with I/O. I will modify the install with some tools used by IT administrators who customize windows images, find out exactly what is required to run a windows binary using GPU acceleration on my device, and then immediately begin making even more drastic changes before I even touch replacing the default userspace. Something I am looking into is using BTRFs for Windows. Yup. You heard me right. This will require replacing the bootloader with one that can load Windows off of Btrfs, so that once the ntfs to Btrfs in-place conversion is finished Windows can still boot. Here is the bootloader project for anyone else who has serious personal issues: github.com/maharmstone/quibble
Then at that point, I can take and manage btrfs snapshots of my Windows 10 install from my Linux drive, and not to mention easily mount files and folders from either OS. In practice I will be chainloading this homebrew bootloader from Grub2 which I already have configured to boot directly into snapshots of my Arch Linux. So while I might not get grub-btrfs automatic snapshots (for Windows) on the Grub2 menu, Linux will always be a rock-solid recovery option, and will be able to rollback irreparable changes I've made by grievously mangling the fundamental default Windows 10 userspace elements via snapshotting. I'm gonna delete explorer.exe with NO FEAR.

When I was a teen, the KKK tried to set up shop in my town.

They demonstrated in full clown costume (white hood and robe) in the middle of town, with signs. They wrote down the license plate numbers of anyone driving by who yelled or flipped them off, because of course several of them were cops.

We walked down there after school, a big group of us teens (many of us punks, in full 1980s punk dress), and even one teacher. We started to argue with them, but at the suggestion of the teacher to be peaceful, we stood in a circle around them and held hands.

They couldn't deal with a group of kids. The one surrounded by my circle hit our hands with his sign to get free of us. Kids, hitting kids with a wooden sign post.

We found out where they lived, us punks. We started egging their houses on the regular. Including through the screens of their open windows. We harassed them whenever they made themselves visible. We didn't care that they were cops, the cops harassed us punks anyway.

Guess what they did? They turned tail and left town.

They thought themselves powerful, but the most basic of pushback sent them packing. Kids, kids chased them out of town. Mostly white kids. They thought it was a "safe" majority white town, they learned it wasn't.
