Yes, Silenus, we are a message board that should not be.  I am at long last a lurker at reddit, but not anything too suspect.  It's the only place in town as far as pertinent (obscure technical details) about Kiss Linux.

That list of topics for that literary journal is a poem in itself, many overlaps.  I can see why such a list would lure you toward it.  The theme seems to be, not actually to embrace the nightmare, but at the very least to come to terms with it, to get a good solid grip on it.  My street-real-life characteristics and mannerisms sometimes creep into my written "dissertation".  I've become gruff, technical, and calculating in my "transmissions."  Are we and all animals simply machines?  Without the bread, water, wheat, meat, daily feedings, the technical obsessions would reveal themselves as "the tinkerings of an appendage to the stomach."  That is, the brain's function is to find food  and shelter for the stomach-master-animal-body-Thing-in-Itself, the It.  When this organism-as-a-whole is nurtured, stable, and healthy, then it is free to explore and tinker, but it would only be a matter of days and weeks for lack of the essentials to expose the mental-life's utter dependence upon far graver matters of life and death.

Even the seemingly unrelated topic of obscure operating systems would fit beautifully into this theme.  Becoming mentally intimate with machine processes is eerie territory, me thinks.   :o
