crouton has been dead for close to a decade now, it’s not a viable option for anything

Thanks for being such a supportive community over past 12 years! On the pragmati…c side, I hope you have found this project helpful at enhancing your hardware's longetivity and utility. I also hope that crouton has inspired at least some of you to keep an eye out for all the potential that lies just beyond the garden walls. And now I'll leave you with these words of wisdom: you can have a hard shell and a soft soul, but when things heat up and pieces start to crumble, that's when you know...you're toast wait that's actually really dark, scratch that please disregard
