the very same day i actually figured how to submit one to #coreboot, struggled against gerrit bravely and won
even though at the same time i learned the openid provider i'm using is going away in two weeks, another one gone out of service 2 years ago, openid itself appears obsolete, and other options are github and google lol
is this actually easy and they were right that cannibal corpse, drugs and leaded solder turn you into a simpleton
#Coreboot Comes To AMD Ryzen Powered Star Labs StarBook MK VI After 3+ Year Wait
For those that had purchased a StarBook MK VI laptop 3+ years ago over the advertised support for Coreboot, Star Labs has now delivered with a Coreboot build finally available and working for this AMD Ryzen 5000 series powered laptop.

"just because *you* can't figure it out, and just because I can't figure it out doesn't mean that it is ipso facto something which a really bright NSA analyst working in Fort Meade can't figure out.

I am trying to confirm that it is safe to generate very high-importance private keys in Qubes Whonix. I’ve read every Wiki post and GitHub issue that Qubes/Whonix have on this topic (excellent work there Patrick) and I am close to being confident enough, but I want to be certain of a few more things. I think the main sources of credited entropy are the kernel’s in-built “Linus Jitter Dance” [1][2], haveged and jitterentropy-rngd. There’s also some uncredited entropy from dom0’s getrandom(0) [3]...
@jedie I guess this depends on the country. I can buy direct from Protectli Canada.
How is this related to smartphones ? Of course there are proprietary blobs in Wifi and other chips, not sure why this means more support needed. Can you elaborate ?
Protectli will also load #Coreboot for you on their routers, very useful too.
Oooh, I guess I know what I'll be doing this week-end.

Background I ordered a Starbook MK V last may so I'm not sure if I own a V or VI (it has a fingerprint reader if that helps). While I ordered it with Coreboot, it came with American Megatrends. Oth...
Конец дешёвых ПК и мировой кризис. Придётся экономить
Подорожание комплектующих изменило рынок. Тут происходит много странных на первый взгляд явлений: выходят ноутбуки с процессорами от телефонов (!?), появляются материнки на старой платформе AM4 (потому что память DDR4 намного дешевле DDR5), появились даже дисплеи для ноутбуков с частотой 1 Гц (это инновация для энергосбережения). Но есть и плюсы. Купленные в прошлые годы ПК останутся актуальными дольше обычного. Старые ПК получат новую жизнь. Разработчикам игр и ПО придётся умерить аппетиты — и оптимизировать софт для текущего железа, а не в расчёте на апгрейд. Потому что апгрейда не будет. Разработчикам придётся отложить генераторы нейрослопа кода — и сосредоточиться на вдумчивой оптимизации софта. А пользователям — экономить и выкручиваться.
