The most entertaining off-topic comment of my blog post on Hacker News is about blocking the anime girl picture. One poster said the blogger must have used an underhanded evil trick to stop uBlock Origin's "block element" from working...

Since it's a global background, not an element, uBlock Origin unfortunately can't see it. ​:blobcatgiggle2:​

After the data was relocated, It was able to enter the desktop immediately. But the full partition already caused significant damages to system files, like corrupting the HKLM\COMPONENTS and HKLM\DRIVERS sections of the registry.

A full system partition is a truly cross-platform way to run a system to the ground, I've seen it on Unix servers and a Xen Dom0, now it's Windows.
