> You might ask how fluxcapacitor works. In short - it uses ptrace to catch syscalls like clock_gettime or gettimeofday and overwrite the kernel response with a fake time.

In Linux, ptrace is not re-entrant. This means you can't use fluxcapacitor on itself, or any other program that uses ptrace, e.g. a debugger.
