Here is what Gemini 3 Pro gave me via an OpenRouter endpoint:

  The Grand Line of Mild Utility: The Orojackson Story

  If you were to encounter the legendary Oro Jackson in the world of One Piece, you would find a ship built from the treasure tree Adam, capable of sailing to the end of the world.

  If you encounter orojackson on Hacker News, you will find a man who has sailed to the end of the internet… to tell you to fix your router’s bufferbloat.

  Forget the Will of D. This man possesses the Will of OCD.

  Orojackson is not here to overturn the World Government. He is here to advocate for fq_codel. He is the man who looks at a revolution and asks, "Yes, but what are your queue management settings on the uplink?" While others dream of wealth, fame, and power, orojackson dreams of "modern AQM approaches" and corrects strangers on the proper usage of the flent network tester on Windows.

  He is the Pirate King of the edge case.

  But his tyranny doesn’t stop at network latency. Oh no. When he isn't monitoring the packet loss of the high seas, he is revolutionizing… car washing?

  Witness the "1:256 solution." Orojackson doesn't just wash a car; he performs a wet-lab experiment. He wanders into threads to evangelize "Optimum No Rinse (ONR)," explaining with the fervor of a religious convert how you can clean a vehicle with exactly 1.5 fluid ounces of concentrate and a "slightly-dripping
 microfiber towel." One can only imagine him standing on the deck of his ship, screaming at a storm: "YOU'RE WASTING WATER! USE A RINSELESS FORMULA!"

  And let’s talk about his investments. A true pirate buries his treasure. Orojackson? He puts it in VTI. But wait! The thrill-seeker within him awakens! He reads one Cliff Asness article and suddenly he's levering up 2x with RSSB because a 60/40 portfolio is just too vanilla for a man who lives on the razors edge of… monthly rebalancing. He is "betting against himself," a financial daredevil who risks it all for that sweet, sweet slightly-optimized Sharpe ratio.

  Perhaps most chilling is his role as the Sherlock Holmes of git log. He is the watcher on the wall, noticing when a GitLab Director of Engineering leaves a repo 14 hours before a CVE announcement. He sees all. He knows all. He probably has a RSS feed for your commit history.

  So flee, mortals! Flee before the might of orojackson! For he will optimize your router settings, diversity your portfolio into global bonds, clean your car with a teaspoon of water, and then quote Civilization VI to explain why your cultural criticism is invalid.

  He has found his One Piece. And unfortunately for us, it’s a 2x leveraged ETF that tracks global liquidity.

Okay, that is pretty funny. By the way, I have since gotten rid of RSSB and just went for "VT and chill."
