hello, /g/oblins
I am passionate about free as in freedom software. I am seeking a coreboot-compatible laptop with modern/high specs which will remain high end for a few years, and preferably something that I can upgrade myself to save some money. The best I have found so far is the Clevo V560TU, which is a white label model that online retailers ship in various configurations. A barebones version with an Intel 255H is about $1300 from what I've seen, and it's upgradeable to 96GB RAM (though one site suggests it's 128GB), and it also has two nvme slots, which is a nice bonus. It sometimes comes with coreboot preinstalled (although I can do that myself if I find a cheaper config). Other benefits include an optional lower resolution screen (1920x1200 as opposed to 2k/4k) which is more compatible with some privacy respecting OS's, and there is an option to remove the webcam/mic entirely, which I appreciate. Who even uses those on laptops?

Here is an example of this machine:
https://laptopwithlinux.com/product/clevo-v560/

Questions:
- Why does this one state expandable up to 128GB RAM when most others I can find (same white label model?) are listed as 96?
https://www.hidevolution.com/evoc-high-performance-systems-v5602b-v560tu-16-fhd-ultra-7-225h-intel-arc.html
- Is this the best laptop for my purposes?
- Why don't these seem to offer the 275HX? Isn't it the same socket? Only 1xx, 225h, and 255h for this specific model seem to be available.
I found the above alternative on this page, which has some 275HX models--are any of them good for coreboot?https://www.hidevolution.com/laptops-1/gaming-enthusiast/evoc-clevo

Is there a ThinkPad that does this but better or cheaper?
>>
why doesn't anyone care about coreboot on /g/ anymore

I blame the ping on my ISP-provided router. wifi speeds are pretty good since I replaced the original card with an AX210 (wifi 6E) on all my machines, because I'm renting and drilling holes for ethernet cables isn't allowed. even my home server has to run on wifi kek
>>
>>106517556
You can't use your own router?
>>
>>106517600
technically ISPs where I live "allow" it but nobody does it because they make it pretty difficult. the easiest I could do would be to connect an access point to the router and use that for wifi instead, but I never felt the need to honestly
>>
if you have less than 250 just get starlink. The ping for it nowadays is phenomenal, less than 30 ms

Yea fair enough, as long as you're not needing low loaded latency it wont matter too much.

Buy a bunch of these shit 8 TB SSDs and put them in RAIDZ2 to get a silent NAS with lots of capacity while being protected against failure of up to 2 drives. Good or bad idea?

>>106511354
Good idea, but also I agree with >>106511411 and >>106515361. This is a NAS so it doesn't have to live right next to you on top of your desk. It can easily be far away enough that you would never hear the HDDs. Hell, it's a NAS. You could get a slightly-larger-than-necessary case and put some cheap noise reduction foam in there if you really, really think you can hear the drives. Plus, since it's over a network, you're more likely to be limited by network latency and bandwidth, than by the speed difference between SATA SSDs and SATA HDDs.

I would still go with the SSDs, because for most NAS workloads (file storage, not running a production database), even a cheap SSD's write durability will outlast an HDD's potential for mechanical failure. One word of warning for SSDs, if you are using an LSI card with breakout cables, be sure the models you get support DRAT and RZAT. Otherwise TRIM might not work. If you have a mobo with 8 SATA ports and that's all you use, it won't matter. But if you use PCIe cards there can be issues. Go google it and find people bitching about it to learn more.

>>106511567
>>106511508
The workloads for a typical home NAS (media storage and occasional desktop/document backups), or even a small business that just keeps backups/records/archives there, SSD longevity won't be an issue. If OP needs to use it for like... fuck IDK, some multi-gigabyte database backup that gets naively written hourly instead of using some native sync process, yeah you might wear them down in a few years?
As I said, OP would be fine with HDDs or SSDs because the network is going to be the bottleneck.

>>106511354
Still expensive, at least 4x cost of hdd, and ethernet is gonna hold you up unless you're using 10 Gb gear or higher. Noise is nice benefit.

Did we lose the battle for piracy?
Mangadex is dead.
Libgen is dead.
Z-lib is semi-dead.
Annas is semi-dead.
Kindle ripping is dead.
Good streaming websites are dead.

My ISP doesn't give a shit if you pirate just as long as you don't get 60+ tickets in a single day.
They don't want to have to give out your info to rights holders, or even run the risk of it. Hell half of the people at the ISP probably pirate. Anybody in tech does unless they're a little bitch.

1337x still works its just that the search function on the website no longer seems to work. I literally try searching for certain things and get told "bad search request" only to literally just search "1337x " followed by whatever it was i was looking for on duckduckgo and find it. Anyone have any way to fix this, or, a better torrent site?

Surely this can't last forever right?

The previous hot take was "Years experience with the tech stack aren't enough anymore, we want to know what impact your work had on the business"
I don't fucking know, some clown asks me for something and I make it for them. BAs are meant to be the ones that measure the business impact and they very rarely feed that back to me.

Look at that. Konqi. The KDE mascot.
The green is playful but not too loud. The scarf is tasteful, vivid, a bold stroke of red.
Notice the horns. Subtle, angular, catching the light with a clean, deliberate edge.
And the box filled with KDE tools, paintbrush, stickers, the whole arsenal. Immaculately arranged, not a single element out of place.

It’s not just a mascot. It’s perfection.
