I'm the author - the idea was, that you would be able to do

    curl -s https://make-linux-fast-again.com | awk '{ print "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"" $0 "\"" }' >> grub.cfg

to use the parameters directly (it's a joke ! don't !), which would not be possible if there was any other content on the webpage (at least without taking more than the 2 minutes this joke took to set up)

To late, I just blindly pasted that in my terminal and ran it :p

OK cool. Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense why it's empty then!

I definitely didn't get it. I take back what I said :) It did lead me to poking around the Linux kernel docs so that's not a bad way to start the day!
