What kinda fashy bullshit do you have to worry about in ARM chipsets? x86 has the Intel management engine and AMD equipment, but what is lurking on ARM chips that look OK (unlocked bootloaders, etc) that I want to know about? #arm #arm64 #sbc #singleboardcomputer #libreboot #coreboot #FreeSoftware #cybersecurity #computerscience #computerengineering

Does /dev/coreboot-console change at runtime? I added a service for it to the #nosh collection, analogous to the collection's dmesg service that spits out /dev/dmesg.boot, which was the work of about 10 minutes; but I'm wondering whether it's even worth it.

Ever wondered what runs your computer before the GNU/Linux even starts? Most people don’t realize that proprietary firmware can control your device in ways you never intended. Join us for a meetup focused on free BIOS and firmware this Saturday, 7/18 at 7pm. The event will feature:
-Presentation and discussion on the security and freedom issues imposed by proprietary firmware blobs like Intel ME, how Coreboot addresses these issues, and how we can build libre systems on non-x86 platforms.
-AMA with Coreboot developer.
-Bring your device and get help on flashing Coreboot, Libreboot, GNUboot, or me_cleaner.

Is open source really less secure? Is it only for developers? Or is it always free?

⚡💻 System76 debutează cu noul Lemur Pro (2026): Autonomie record de 18 ore, procesoare Intel Core Ultra și tehnologie Wi-Fi 7 🚀🔋
System76, renumitul producător american de computere configurate special pentru ecosistemul Linux, a prezentat oficial noua generație a laptopului său ultraportabil de referință: Lemur Pro (ediția 2026). Recunoscut istoric pentru silueta sa subțire și greutatea redusă, noul model aduce un salt tehnologic impresionant pe partea de eficiență energetică, conectivitate și putere de calcul.
Iată principalele caracteristici tehnice și noutăți introduse de Lemur Pro 2026:
🔹 Autonomie fenomenală a bateriei:
Cea mai mare realizare a noului model este optimizarea drastică a consumului de energie. Datorită eficienței noilor arhitecturi de procesoare și reglajelor fine aduse de inginerii System76 la nivel de firmware open-source, Lemur Pro promite o autonomie remarcabilă de până la 18 ore de utilizare la o singură încărcare. Acest lucru îl transformă într-o stație de lucru ideală pentru programatori, sysadmini și profesioniști aflați mereu în mișcare.🔹 Performanță de top cu Intel Core Ultra:
La interior, laptopul este propulsat de cele mai noi procesoare Intel Core Ultra (din generațiile recente axate pe eficiență și capabilități AI). Aceste cipuri integrează grafică avansată Intel Arc și o unitate NPU (Neural Processing Unit) dedicată accelerării sarcinilor de inteligență artificială direct pe dispozitiv, totul rulând nativ și fără bătăi de cap sub Linux.🔹 Viteză ultra-rapidă prin Wi-Fi 7:
Lemur Pro devine unul dintre primele laptopuri din gama System76 care adoptă standardul de conectivitate Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be). Acesta oferă viteze de transfer mult mai mari, latențe extrem de scăzute în rețea și o stabilitate superioară a semnalului în spațiile aglomerate, utilizând benzi de frecvență extinse.🔹 Firmware Open-Source și Securitate:
Fidel filozofiei companiei, laptopul rulează pe o fundație complet deschisă:System76 Open Firmware (bazat pe coreboot): Oferă timpi de boot ultra-rapizi și elimină codul proprietar proprietar inutil din BIOS.
System76 Embedded Controller (EC) Firmware: Oferă utilizatorului control total, la nivel de cod, asupra comportamentului ventilatoarelor, bateriei și tastaturii iluminate.
🔹 Design portabil și Ecran:
Dispozitivul își păstrează șasiul extrem de ușor (cântărind doar puțin peste 1 kg), fiind echipat cu un ecran mat de 14 inchi cu ramă îngustă, ideal pentru reducerea reflexiilor în spațiile puternic iluminate. Pe partea de memorie, laptopul suportă configurații masive de stocare NVMe PCIe Gen 4 și memorie RAM DDR5 rapidă.Noul Lemur Pro (2026) vine preinstalat, la alegerea utilizatorului, cu sistemul de operare Pop!_OS (care include în mod nativ noul mediu grafic modern COSMIC scris în Rust) sau cu Ubuntu. Laptopul este deja disponibil pentru configurare și comandă pe magazinul online al celor de la System76.

@danie1 @tonyptdm Laptop with GNU/Linux preloaded and supported by the vendor with #IntelManagementEngine disabled + #OpenSource firmware #Coreboot + only #FreeSoftware by default in the repos.
@purism Btw, you should post the announcement on your socials or at least share this post. Please post on #Odysee + #Peertube (if you have), not only YT. I think Odysee has a Linux desktop app now to sync your YT channel so you don't have to reupload.

Ah, the age-old tale of a "ThinkPad enthusiast" trying to reinvent the wheel by flashing an obsolete device with #coreboot. 🤓 Because clearly, everyone has the time to reverse engineer vendor BIOS for a 2007 laptop, right? 🕰️ But hey, at least it's an 11-minute read of pure, unadulterated tech masochism! 🚀

#Chrultrabook people, I have a #Chromebook and a #Chromebox that run #MrChromebox' #coreboot and I would like to update the firmware.
Currently I use a live USB with #LinuxMint XFCE, as it is easy to use and insecure enough for it to work.
The tools need access to read and write the firmware, which is quite deep.
I would like to enable that support on my main #NixOS system, at least sometimes, but don't know what is missing. Same on vanilla #Fedora btw, doesnt work there either.
The iomem=relaxed option is not enough, do you know what else is needed?
For NixOS and Chromebook support I found this amazing repo, but it is quite complex:
