I love these guys. Let's see if somebody can just bootstrap the FOSS framework directly on TCP to work on the internet without a VPN. Fantastic project

You should be using a seedbox to torrent in this age. Let the company run their business, if they don't want to be a part of the group that allows torrents, so be it.

Not having an opt-out toggle pisses me off

Wtf, why on earth would they do that? Thanks for pointing it out

Coreboot disables most of Intel ME on x86 except the parts required for essential functions. It certainty cripples external access to Intel ME.

I believe it is a fair assumption that for embedded architectures like ARM and RISC-V, a FOSS bootloader will likely deal with state-sponsored backdoors if they haven't been infiltrated themselves. This does not take into account baseband attack vectors because I simply don't know much about wireless, but I'd imagine someone working on these projects likely has their eye on the funny stuff the NSA is likely to try here. RISC-V is FOSS, the NSA cannot legally require anybody to include a backdoor into the architecture itself.

Looks nice, will wait to see how it takes off

You mean you're assuming that it will come with a backdoor in the hardware? Will that matter if the bootloader is FOSS?

ASM - are you working with embedded electronics?

My goodness, thank you for this. I hope the project continues for a while!

Dosage matters. Adults should be capable of making informed choices about something like this. We should be encouraging education, not banning it

Basic OPSEC practices like not switching on the burner in compromising circumstances should be default

Taking suckless a bit too seriously, are we?

Who is this little shit who can't Google how to format a USB drive securely? If dd isn't enough, there's plenty of methods documented online.

Fuck such people. Off to the maintainers blacklist they should go

And how exactly do they think they're going to break PGP and TOR without running an NSA-style racket?

Goat herding.

If you've seen the memes on Reddit you'll know what I mean

Tried kbin yet?

Somebody is going to have to run a public server unfortunately.

I don't think I can reason with a Google shill. Oh well

Debian or Alma
