My understanding is Coreboot is a minimum-viable firmware implementation to get your hardware initialized ... and not much else.

Once Coreboot is ready you then use "Payloads".

Payloads can be as varied as booting into Linux directly, GRUB directly, or a whole UEFI/BIOS implementation.

SeaBIOS is a whole FOSS BIOS implementation (commonly used for emulators like QEMU) and is somewhat tractable according to my prior research (~50k lines of C).

My comment about CPU support is due to modern systems using UEFI - the payload for that is TianoCore EDK2. It's quite large (900k+ lines) and while it has much more eyes on it, if minimalism is what you're looking for I doubt it would qualify.

That leaves you with systems from before ~2013 or so - assuming you can even flash Coreboot to them, which only supports a handful of systems.

I suppose you could just jump into Linux though. Perhaps it's silly to do anything else.

Thinkpads have been a meme since the early 2010s.

It's funny to bring up the T480/s as positive example because I remember people complaining about anything past ~xx20 series.

Framework is a reaction to the cult following a lot of the business laptops had. When people are spending $$ to retrofit modern mainboards to vintage Thinkpad chassis you know there's enthusiast money to be made there.

audit - appears to be some sort of AppArmor logging?

br[] - bridge interface docker uses consistently rebuilds itself? May be related to docker compose networking.

I actually have quite a bit in the freezer, I'll have to incorporate that next!

Are you aware where you find that in the US?

> Fun fact, it gets gradually better with each reheating

That was a very common theme when researching. I froze my leftovers for the winter!

Pierogi are very common here (the best is always "however my [grand]mother made them") but I'm not familiar with the rest!

Sounds like I'll have plenty of ideas for the winter :)

My wife was not pleased by the smells, as you say.

I think it'd be quite nice in the winter :)

Why isn't it? The CDDL is basically the MPL, which in-turn is basically the LGPL.

The jihad against the GPL by FreeBSD and conveniently ignoring the CDDL being weak-copyleft was always ironic to me.

solene@ left and stated the filesystem as a supporting reason:

How would you suggest improving the system that doesn't devolve into purity spiraling?

I see a number of questions:

1.) Are the creators producing explicit content, on or off, YouTube?

It doesn't seem that there's many false-positives in this ban wave. The bulk of creators were definitely linking NSFW content externally and some had very suggestive videos on YouTube to begin with.

So if they are and got banned, I suppose that's not surprising. That leads to a second question though.

2.) Should they be banned for this -especially if it is off YouTube?

I feel like that's really the heart of the matter, is using YouTube as a pipeline to NSFW content something that should be policed? YouTube sure seems to think so. I guess it's "Twitch Bathtub Streams 2.0"?

Ticks are pretty bad nearby in WPA, I've taken antibiotics prophylactically for them.
