  • I have experience testing hardware for Libreboot, and I helped test many systems for them. I’m also working with another person from the coreboot community to port four computers (two computers are already done), which will then be ported to Libreboot. I previously had a business where I sold Libreboot hardware. Currently, I’m trying to learn OpenBSD on my server for self-hosting. I have a couple of other small projects as well, but yes, I already have a few projects underway.

    This may be a route I want to pursue; Network+ followed by Linux+ sounds good. I’ve also heard that Security+ is easier, but I’m not sure if it’s easier than Linux+.

    Backdoors in the CPU microcode, backdoors in the proprietary firmware of your motherboard / hard drives, backdoor through Intel Management Engine / AMD PSP. They’re all hardware level backdoors that can’t easily be disabled / replaced on newer systems.

    There are only a select few of systems out their that can run a fully free BIOS with no IME, but those systems are about 15+ years old. In terms of freedom, we’re fucked. Even if you do switch to GNU/Linux, you’re still not entirely free.






  • This is actually a new build I just made with a Libreboot motherboard. I’m trying to turn it into a gaming computer, it ran GTA V at 70-80FPS, all high settings, at 1440p. It was working flawlessly, and for some reason now its not I suppose due to the RAM.

    But even with this RAM, in the beginning it was working just fine until yesterday I started noticing more stuttering. Vulkan shaders might be interfering, but I did enable them to process in the background and to save the cache but nope, still stuttering.

    I was hoping to do a benchmark video for people tonight but I’ll have to wait until later next week.
