[Coreboot] Can I coreboot my laptop? Acer Aspire A515-47 - Lemmy.World
I’m quite interested in putting coreboot onto my laptop, if that’s possible. But
first I want to know if it’s reliable as I’ll be using this laptop for school,
and if I can even do it in the first place. I have an Acer Aspire A515-47, AMD
Ryzen 5 5625U. I don’t know any detailed information about the motherboard, nor
northbridge or southbridge. I did try to find them but I couldn’t find anything
online. I mention these as they were mentioned on the coreboot docs. Also from
the docs, I’ll be doing the internal method as my laptop already, obviously,
runs Linux (Fedora Silverblue).
Question about VPNs and VMs - Lemmy.World
So on my host I run Mullvad VPN all the time due to living in one of the X eyes
countries and being over-paranoid, but when I torrent I do almost no uploading
due to Mullvad blocking port forwarding. I had the bright idea to create a VM
then attach it to my network in a way to completely bypass my host (also running
Linux) connection and in-turn bypass Mullvad, I’d then connect this VM to my own
Wireguard server that I rent overseas and configure port forwarding on that. I
think I’m almost there however I seem to have hit a roadblock that I think the
only workaround is attaching a second ethernet cable to my host, in order to get
another interface so that the VM doesn’t steal my host’s connection. Doing the
dual ethernet setup isn’t impossible, but it is extra cables and dongles that
I’d rather do without, so I was wondering if I could create a second IP address
on my host and pass that into the VM to use? I’m using qemu and virt manager for
my virtual machines, Artix on my host and probably Linux Mint on my torrent VM.
Again I have no idea if this is possible or not, I simply don’t know enough
about networking yet to know for certain. I feel like it is but I wanted to ask
some people who know what they’re talking about :D.
[Plasma] Evergreen KNOME - Lemmy.World
>Konsole with neofetch on the left, Dolphin on the right and Elisa just below
Konsole I’ve always quite liked how Polybar / Waybar look with WMs but I’ve
never been arsed to fiddle with all the config files that come with that. I want
to spend more time using my desktop than making it look nice. So I initially
tried GNOME but found the panel CSS too confusing. I tried KDE Plasma after
hearing that panels were quite powerful with that if you use them right, and I
believe I did. The colour scheme was originally going to be Gruvbox but the
global theme I used gave off a more Evergreen vibe so I embraced it, I’m quite
glad I did because I think this looks amazing… I’m not mentally insane I just
like how cursive fonts look in terminals, I use them for programming too. This
one is Victor Mono
