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

No it’s not. Ever tried grabbing it? You can’t. Must be liquid or something

This and alias la="ls -lhA"

Maybe I got it wrong then, but at least that’s what I understood initially. I guess we’ll see
