Libreboot was deblobbed coreboot. Nowadays its a coreboot distribution that minimizes the blobs and simplifies the installation process. Canoeboot is what libreboot was, and still complies with the 4 freedoms, at the cost of hardware compatibility and stability.

See:
https://libreboot.org/news/policy.html

It's worth mentioning that the current state of affairs was the result of Rowe repeatedly starting drama for no reason. First, he claimed that the FSF fired some unnamed troon out of transphobia and demanded Stallman step down, then pulled Libreboot from the GNU Project when he didn't (and the story was found to be completely made up). Two years later, he started putting blobs back in to support more hardware, stating that he now despises the FSF and everything they stand for, which led to an older version of libreboot without blobs being forked under the name "GNU Boot". After about a year of obsessively shitting all over it, making fake sites with borked parodies of it and so on, he decided to deblob libreboot again under the name Canoeboot so people would use it instead of GNU Boot, which I guess is like winning the argument in his mind. He then made a big scene trying to have it resubmitted to the GNU Project, just for that extra bit of attention.

It could've been done under a different name besides libreboot. But this has lead to the situation we're in now.
If anything, libreboot should assume the role of the devil and warn people about the cost of using nonfree firmware and microcode updates. That way, it teaches people how to value freedom, as well as what ways they can do to resolve the situation:
>accept or reject the deal with the devil; accepting may be the only way to remove the existing proprietary BIOS/UEFI on newer machines, which in itself is moving up the freedom ladder
>complain to the hardware manufacturers. while this may have limited impact, getting your complaints on record helps
>document experiences. write a blog about using the hardware with libreboot/canoeboot/whatever and tell people what works, what doesn't, so that people are informed about the hardware and given more transparency over what they're getting if they buy this hardware

Yeah just look at the funding for the Linux Foundation. It's big tech companies out the wazoo. Basically any project of decent size in FOSS ends up being funded by huge corpos. "Linux is coded by NEETs working for free" is a trope both Linux haters and some FOSS advocates wish was true (the ones that don't like corpo control), but it's untrue for large parts of FOSS.

yeah sure it's "easy" because you set it up 10 years ago, on a decent provider, presumably knowing how not to and somehow didn't screw up your email reputation. Of course it just sits there now. That’s how infrastructure works once it’s done right.
I set up an email server on KH a few years ago and all our emails aren't received by any of our clients we ended up having to just migrate to workspace.

>>107700387
>10 years ago
NTA but good luck to anyone hoping to get a relatively clean IP for mail now.

Email is bad and lacks privacy. If one of the goals of self hosting was to prevent Google or Microsoft from spying on you, then you're wasting time because messages often passe through their servers or other unprivate servers anyway. Everyone collects metadata and tracks deliveries and addresses and patterns. Where your mails end up being stored isn't relevant. Mails can be considered unencrypted in transit in 99% of cases. Mail headers expose a lot of information, by design.

I think youtube embeds ads into the stream. For my roku TV's I enabled developer mode and added Playlet but i think its since been approved and added to the Roku app/channel store page so this work-around isn't necessary
With playlet you can watch youtube without ads

I've found thad AdGuardHome blocks ads that show up in phone apps. I don't block external DNS requests, but simply making my local AdGuardHome ip as the primary authoritative DNS server was enough for me

>>107700976
No shit using a decent provider helps. This is still possible and using things like mxtoolbox.com to check reputation and there the important lists should all have automated forms to clean things up assuming you do all the meme stuff (SPF, DKIM, DMARC)

>>107700982
>Email is bad and lacks privacy
Looking at the state of TLS adoption for mail server is kinda hilarious/terrifying and running the kind of opportunistic encryption that ignores 95% of sanity checks just to get some semblance of TLS is pretty much best practice.
A lot of providers don't even attempt to TLS, even when the receiver is properly set up.

My main goals wasn't really privacy, more like
>doing it because it can be done
>firstname@lastname.tld is cool
Also, full control allows for constructs like setting up catch-all aliases, so you basically have unlimited addresses.
Meaning you can use unique mails for every single account you create somewhere. And if you start getting spam,
it becomes very clear who snitched your data. And then gets bounced/blackholed.

>>107701087
>where do you store backups?
Depends.
Things I've downloaded off the internet and won't care if I lose it in a house fire? In another machine in my basement.
If it's things that I can't replace like family photos and videos? I have multiple copies. One in my main storage server. One in my backup storage server in my basement. Another digital copy in my siblings' place burned to CDs. And the original physical copies in my parent's house or my siblings, depends on who took the originals.
If it's really important things like birth certificates or the deed to the land or citizenship papers? Digital copy in my main server. Second digital copy in my backup server in my basement. Third digital copy and a physical copy in my siblings' and parent's house. And lastly the physical originals in a safety deposit box in my bank.

I have multiple backups of important things. I'm more lazy about things I download off the internet. My thinking is if I lose it because of a house fire I would have a bigger issue to deal with than some lost games or movies. But I still want to have a backup that if it does get corrupted I don't have to go looking for it, which is why I only have one backup.

>he thinks 5v is negotiated in the connector.
Do you see how the connector is soldered to the board? Disregard the autism cube. There isn't any space to add a pd trigger board, let alone use the same cutout. Even moreso using a pd trigger board to negotiate 5V is immensely retarded when it can be done with two resistors. As is, this thing can only charge with something that'll feed it 5V as would happen with a usb-c to usb-A cable ("legacy"), but it can't negotiate 5V out from a usb-c source. Replacing the connector won't solve anything. And this board being an aluminium heatsink it's going to be an absolute bitch to solder to.

Snapdragon has been great for me, I've been dailying mine for about 16 months now. People like >>107697328 will meme that software doesn't work because they haven't actually used one recently. Nearly everything "just werks" without any special config. The only limitations I've found involve software that's legacy and/or niche, such as an ECU tool for a 20 year old car and the firmware updater for Innoasis MP3 players.

For a laptop, ARM gives you both battery life and thermals (the fans almost never spin up). In the rare occasion I need to do something ARM can't handle, such as the Innoasis firmware updater, I just use my desktop. If you need to run a lot of oddball software and it's your only computer, ARM probably isn't for you. But if you're doing fairly regular things or have other computers (like most of /g/ presumably), ARM is ideal for a mobile device.

I went to Best Buy today to try out the different computers in person to see how they look and feel.

There was a sales rep there who had a snapdragon shirt. I asked him about ARM and compatibility issues. He said all you guys are full of shit and don't know what you're talking about. And he said over 5000 companies or switching to ARM in the next year and that it's the future of processors and that my label printer will work fine despite the fact Gemini told me it wont.

He pulled some piece of paper showing the different processors inside the chip and explained some AI mumbojumbo.

Then I went over to the microsoft section and this black guy was a rep for microsoft, and I asked him about the ARM shit and he said yeah if you run a bunch of weird random programs then you might want to hold off for awhile. He said some Adobe program wasn't working right for it. But he also said laptop prices are probably going to go up and that I might as well get it for now because most of the industry will be switching over in the next year or two.


But bros, that Microsoft Surface Laptop is fucking sweet.
It's the closest thing to a Macbook experience with Windows.
