About a year ago, I had gotten my hands on an Elitebook 840 G8. It would not boot #OpenBSD. After some deep research, I found out that it was due to a broken UEFI architecture - thanks to the always wonderful HP.

I eventually found a fix - recompiling the OpenBSD kernel with a bit higher offset. While I had it scripted (loosely based on earlier work by @rqm ), it still was a pain for someone whom upgrades the snapshots daily.

So, I eventually gave up and moved to a different machine. Slapped #SecureBlue on the Elitebook for the occassional shits and giggles.

Recently though there was a firmware update for the UEFI. With a long list of fixes, I thought I'd try again.

And it worked  I am now typing this Toot on the Elitebook, running OpenBSD-current with the vanilla kernel 

Me, looking up how to update a foreign Linux machine:

Me, finding out:

Oh that was easy... ujust update-system

Whomever named this thing 'ujust' deserves a medal.

#Linux #SecureBlue

Seeking suggestions for headless KVM/QEMU host. SELinux is a must, trying for secure as possible but MoBo lacks TPM2. Thinking between minimal Fedora Everything, or SecureBlue IoT. Any recs? Im aware no TPM2 is a security flaw, but new computers are $$$$.

Screw secureblue, this will be my new Linux distro.

#secureblue #fedora #pearos #archlinux #vivalapera

I think I might be getting there...
