Uptime ~30 years

Too generous for Gentoo.

"Maybe if I tweak the kernel config juuuuust a little bit today" "Is it just me or did this particular version of gcc make the kernel 0.0002% slower? I need to do some tests" "...Dunno, it just feels slower today, I guess I need to recompile the whole system"

Uptime: 30 minutes, tops
