Sieht nicht schlecht aus. Wie ist der Preis ?
Wie lange arbeitet Ihr damit und seid Ihr zufrieden ?
Allerdings benötigen wir #Dual_nvme nicht #intern, sondern #extern als #SteckVersion.
Das haben wir leider noch nirgends gefunden. Und zwar DIREKT zum #Mainboard-Bus und möglichst
nicht über den Umweg #USB, was die Geschwindigkeit deutlich verringert.
Haben heute zum ersten Mal etwas von #Coreboot & Co. als #OpenSoftware #BIOS-Ersatz gelesen.
Habt Ihr #Erfahrung damit ?
Wir arbeiten z.Zt. mit Lenovo-ThinkCentre. Ist ganz gut, aber auch gebraucht sehr teuer.
Plus #nvme-#Umbausatz !! Wir sind sehr knapp bei Kasse und müssen manches zurückstellen, was wir eigentlich gern umgesetzt hätten.
How can I solve the “cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device UUID=” problem on an MSI Cyborg 15 A13VF-1461 laptop? #boot #encryption #bios #luks #msi

Since today, I have a cryptsetup: Waiting for encrypted source device UUID=<personal-UUID> boot problem with my MSI Cyborg 15 A13VF-1461 laptop. It has a GRUB dual-boot system installed (Ubun...
So people, if you want to launch new federated website, there is some idea.
- Ads filtering list.
- Linux package build (for generating binary)
- Bios Database
- Secureboot shim
- Search engine.
Those 5 idea would allow to agregate data / build power from all over the world, allowing to a fully decentralised, and impossible to down system, as blocking node would not disable the system.

Yesterday was quite the day! My replacement #Dell battery arrived. Opened the #laptop, swapped the battery, powered it on. It booted up but failed to recognize my SSD and thus I couldn't boot into the OS. Strange.
#BIOS showed there wasn't a battery connected. Also strange. As per Dell's documentation, I needed to completely clear the power. Did that.
Still no disk recognized. BIOS still showed I can only boot from the NIC. Great. I found the BIOS version was severely out of date by 5-6 years. Downloaded the new firmware and flashed it successfully. The laptop *still* doesn't recognize the SSD....but does recognize I have a new battery. I guess that's an improvement.
Interestingly, while using the BIOS flash tool, the laptop can see part of the SSD as I was able to see part of Debian's /boot partition.
Never in my life did I ever expect replacing a laptop battery would cause me this much pain.
Dell Latitude 5400.
How do I get the BIOS to recognize my SSD?
