I realized today that I actually have a spare Lenovo M710s which is one of the systems that is now supported by Coreboot. Any idea where I can find a guide showing how to get Coreboot installed onto the M710s ? I will also accept a link to any place that offers to install Coreboot onto it for a fee.
You'd never know it until now, but calling a group of people racist is hate speech in Canada
I look forward to seeing this enforced fairly and consistently.

Can anyone recommend IRC channels for the SmallWeb and such? You guys idling somewhere?
Is there any text-based, ideally distributed monitoring software out there? I want a TUI that shows me (e.g. with green/red highlights) the reachability of hosts (simple ping checks) while I'm doing network maintenance. Like a really simple, curses based nagios? It would probably look like a bloomberg terminal.. (I know this wouldn't be too hard to implement.. but I can't believe it's not already out there...) #linux #TUI #monitoring #network #networking #sysadmin #software #curses #terminal

I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
