::: System76 developers have managed to DISABLE Intel ME? (A backdoor) :popos:
It is recently claimed that System76's Coreboot open firmware manages now to disable Intel ME for Raptor Lake processor.
Are they on to something bigger towards the realm away from Intel's "Big Brother" practices?
This could be huge in near future! What do YOU think?

I switch computers a lot. However, for the last 4 months or so, my daily driver laptop has been a corebootbook, an Acer C740 laptop formerly known as a Chromebook.
Specs-wise, it is a terrible laptop, but it has served me quite well for the last couple months. Devuan Linux. Dual core Celeron 3205U cpu at 1.5Ghz. 4GB memory (soldered on board, can't be upgraded). I did upgrade the 42mm m.2 SSD to a 32GB one instead of the 16GB it came with.
I usually use ThinkPad laptops, but I've been mostly satisfied with this. The heavy lifting tasks are done on my ThinkStation S30 or other desktop/server machines.

Just sold a refurbished Dell Latitude 3340 to a repeat customer. She requested #Linux, as she's used that on laptops she's purchased from me before and prefers that over Windows.
#LinuxMint #Debian Edition is what I am installing for most people who want Linux now. Slowly moving toward #Devuan, as I have sold at least six #corebootbook laptops locally with Devuan.

I am happy to announce #Fiedka the #firmware editor v1.3.4 🥳
Now with a nice welcome screen, toolbar, CBFS (coreboot) parsing and #UEFI editing capabilities. You can remove DXEs, and if space allows, replace BdsDxe with your own app to roll out https://linuxboot.org via the #LinuxBoot button. Someone has already done that on real hardware, as I heard. \o/
Download and more information: https://fiedka.app 🐙
PS.: Progress on the AMD PSP analysis is also happening (see screenshot). :-)

Most of my computer time for normal day to day stuff is spent on #LinuxMint :linuxmint2:.
Most of the computers I upgrade and repair are Windows 10 for customers.
Spending more time with #VoidLinux :void: on the #corebootbook and other machines.
Hoping to do more with #netbsd :netbsd: in the near future.
Did some #lua programming learning last night and my son is figuring out how to use Lua within C.

Joined the fosstodon.org #mastodon instance today.
Quick #introduction: I'm a FOSS developer, mainly working on #sigrok (logic analyzer, oscilloscope, test&measurement software) these days.
Also a #debian developer when time permits. Previously involved in #coreboot, #flashrom, and random other projects.
I'm also making my own #creativecommons music (plus videos) as a hobby over at Youtube and ccmixter.org.
More details later, I guess.

Does someone in my bubble want to sell me their #glasgowInterfaceExplorer so I don't need to wait more than a year for one to be produced :(? (rev C preferably, shipping to Germany or at #gpn24, #40c3 etc.)
The more I'm looking into coreboot, the more I'm tapping into buses where my logic analyzer hits its limits (and also, playing with FPGAs!!1)boost welcome

Mir gehen langsam die (umsetzbaren) Ideen aus.
Es laufen hier #QubesOS, #GrapheneOS, #OpenWRT, #Proxmox, #Yunohost …
Der E-Book-Reader ist von #PocketBook.
Apps kommen per #Accrescent und #Obtainium.
Die wenigen Smart-Home-Devices haben #Tasmota.
Gebootet wird per #Coreboot.
Eingeloggt wird per HW Fido2 Provider, #KeePassDX, passage und (mangels Alternative) #Yubikey.

Nice rant but #libreboot is a godsend.
I actually have comfort in how my laptop's boot process works now, and I get to dodge garbage UEFI that every manufacturer seems to put in their laptops now. This is not a privacy concern for me, it's just the bugginess makes Linux and other operating systems a bit unusable.
I modified bbswitch so I could switch Optimus off/on using x86 IO in kernel space. Unfortunately it works 80-90% of the time, and this **really** should only be done in BIOS space. x86 seems to share the notion of Ring 0 with most of coreboot and the kernel, but think about the System Management Mode components (and the ME, if it were still active in this BIOS).
I don't know much about the coreboot codebase but there are stale but pending patches for Optimus support on certain Lenovo W series ThinkPads that seem to share the same Power Management IC. Patience...
American schools had machine shop electives. Offer them the same with computers' inner workings if they so wish.

if someone has a #libreboot t480 or t480s, please report to #libreboot irc on libera.
there is a patch i want to test, relating to thunderbolt functionality. i will also test this myself, but having another user present will help too.
this patch: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/88490
i will send you a rom to test

So I had a silly thought.. Could you use a modern day CPU with no extra ram at all today? What about without a hard drive for an OS?
So at the start the OS was on a ROM chip, did that double at the equiv of a bios?
Modern CPUs have more cache than PC's needed of yesteryear. UEFI BIOS are massive in size, and with the existence of Coreboot and its ability to have nearly anything for a payload, linux, seabios, etc you could put a very small OS on there (by today's standards).
I'm sure someone's tried or done something along these lines right?
EDIT: I was thinking just x86_64 CPUs but my examples draw from things like C64/Atari/Amiga/ etc computers too. So any modern cpu today that could run a small OS that lets people just work on stuff. Like with no extra or minimal extra chips for some bare minimum IO

More #39c9 telephone numbers. Vanity-plate 4-letter representations.
https://guru3.eventphone.de/event.cmd/phonebook
Also look at ones with numbers in them on thread: https://mas.to/@libreleah/115613932800708013
My bot spent two days finding these. Have fun!
PS: i can't be bothered to make more. See you at the conference!
EDIT: "CUKE" isn't supposed to be there. no idea what that word means. and "QUTB" should be "OUTB". the x86 command for writing registers.
linux and coreboot use it a lot: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/outb.2.html
again: have fun!!!

If I get any of the grants I applied for, I will do #live streams again for the #development. ✨👩💻✨
Thus far, I asked:
- NLnet to fund #LinuxBoot integration with U-Boot XPL
- OSFF to fund further development of #Intel ME toolingThe former will be much more work.
And the latter would be integrated in https://fiedka.app and @coreboot. -
