Firmware- und BIOS-Updates unter Linux einfach mit fwupd durchführen
BIOS-Updates unter Linux waren lange eine Qual. fwupd ändert das: ein Framework, ein LVFS-Repo, ein Kommando. BIOS/UEFI, NVMe, Thunderbolt, Intel ME — über 1.000 Geräte unterstützt. Beispiel auf dem ThinkPad X1 Carbon mit Capsule Updates.
I've been (ab?)using Claude to find bugs in my software, and although it's found quite a few false positives, it's also found a lot of actual real bugs. Nothing CVE-worthy, but still important to fix. Releases include:
* passim: https://github.com/hughsie/passim/releases/tag/0.1.11
* libxmlb: https://github.com/hughsie/libxmlb/releases/tag/0.3.26
* libjcat: https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat/releases/tag/0.2.6
#fwupd will follow, when all ^^^ has hit the various build-roots. If anyone wants to polish the translations in the meantime, it's the normal place: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fwupd/fwupd/
I'm pondering some interesting talks I could suggest for #OSFC this year. Does anyone want me to talk about anything specific for firmware, #fwupd or LVFS topics?
I'm thinking doing a pretty aggressive FU aiming at some of the major hardware vendors, but I'm not sure my boss would approve. Other ideas welcome.
