The length of the wire is actually more an issue of capacitance and interferences. But these issues are easily mitigated by reducing the spi speed

This has some “yes do as I say” vibes

I don’t know what’s stupid to say about Gesellschaft für Software und Systementwicklung mit beschränkter Haftung

Hmm, I’m not sure… I must admit, I only use SeaBIOS, not GRUB, so I wouldn’t know how to configure it

Yeah, that’s basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected

Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

I’m not sure what you mean by “checking the ROM”…

They’ve been pretty tame lately, but there have been issues historically that made a lot of people (rightfully) mad. You ca read on them here: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

I don’t know what the problem is. I’m trying to rule things out one after the other.

Maybe try using systemd-boot instead of GRUB?

There are a few ways to investigate, but for that we would need a bit more info. Firstly, what distro do you use ? Try using a different bootloader than GRUB to see if it solves the issue. Otherwise you could also try to use Linux’s UEFI stub.

You’ll have to wait for FreeBSD 66.6, which may happen in a few decades

I don’t know what you did to your cat, but Imgur is telling me the picture “may contain erotic or adult imagery.”

I mean… Depends what you mean by 100% free firmware… If you mean only the boot firmware, that’s the case for PCs like the ThinkPads T400, T500, R500, W500, X200, as well as the Dell Latitude E6400. Note Libreboot even recommends the latter for new full libre buys, as it can be software-flashed without disassembly.

But if you mean 100% free including EC firmware, wireless firmware, and disk firmware, then this will probably never happen, or at least not until a very very long time.

You can look into using efibootmgr to create UEFI boot entries

It does not work in vi. The + and * register were a vim invention (tested in vim compatibility mode and busybox vi)

No that’s Crohn’s, cron is a type of headwear for monarchs

Minecraft Steve. Definitely

Naja, kenne einige, die gute 2,5k für ein MacBook, 2k für den iPad + 100 für den Apple Pencil, 1k für ein iPhone, 300 für Airpods und 500€ für die Apple Watch ausgegeben haben. Hab da evtl. mit 10k ein bisschen übertrieben, das sind da jetzt eher 6,5k. Ich möchte ja gerne zugeben dass es sehr praktisch ist, so viel Interoperabilität zu haben, aber das ganze Geld ist es mir persönlich nicht wert. Insbesondere wenn es langsam alternativen gibt, wie KDE Connect zwischen Android und Linux, oder SSH zwischen postmarketOS und jedes andere Betriebssystem mit SSH (sprich quasi alles)

Naja persönlich ist mir das Mac-Universum die 10k€ nicht wert. Hab also für alles Linux. Für den NAS und nem Router sogar OpenBSD.
