Well, at least we're stable enough to buildworld and buildkernel on-system! :partyparrot:

Waiting on a new SSD, but building on a USB uSD:

--------------------------------------------------------------
>>> World build completed on Wed Jul  8 02:47:59 UTC 2020
>>> World built in 6897 seconds, ncpu: 16, make -j16
--------------------------------------------------------------

Forgot to copy off the buildkernel time, but it was just under 900 seconds.

Interestingly, we have real temp readouts from thermal zones, which is new. Did I add something back in that we had previously removed?
