History
The first known member, Guillaume Six, was a linen weaver in Armentières and Lille. During the Reformation, the family moved from Antwerp to Amsterdam and later belonged to the government of that city. Several family members were painted by Rembrandt. The name Six is an abbreviation of Sixtus, a name given to the sixth child of a family. Jan Six II (1668–1750) bought the fiefdom of Hillegom. First-born members carry the title of baron and the others the honorific of Jonkheer.

gollark: PotatOS has a semi-independent VFS/sandbox library, but I had to add a *lot* of patches for sandbox escapes and stuff to PotatoBIOS, so it's hard to use it separately.
gollark: Unless it doesn't.
gollark: Anyway, many of the bugs in potatOS come from stuff like the SPUDNET daemon not being subject to sandboxing, so people can fake events and stuff going to that in increasingly convoluted ways to make it execute code when it shouldn't.
gollark: It was used to provide sandboxed copies of potatOS for testing and stuff.
gollark: Or crane, my really, *really* broken sandboxingish thing.
