You can use DNS over HTTPS or TLS with Quad9 https://www.quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features

If you are using PiHole just use that as the forward DNS.

People were saying the same thing about ProtonPass, but both pass and sentinel seem like relatively small projects, it would be hard to believe they are taking massive amounts of resources.

It’s 2023. By this time I’m fine if BIOS boot was removed completely

I was replying to that post.

But I guess read the thread before posting was too much to ask.

Why not?

Qubes OS use Fedora for dom0.

It would hurt some projects.

Just as an example, A small project Qubes OS supports UEFI, but a lot of the UEFI implementations from different manufactures are broken or don’t follow the standards. Qubes OS doesn’t have the developer resources to fix issues with motherboards or laptops only used by a handful of users, so when all else fails the solution is to use legacy mode.

Coreboot also uses legacy boot for some payloads.

The idea is that if a machine defaults to “legacy boot,” meaning a BIOS-style boot, then use that to load U-Boot, which then provides a software emulation of UEFI so that the startup process can be simplified by the removal of BIOS support.

Sounds more like the illusion of simplicity

It’s pretty good for privacy, the main issues with LineageOS is that it’s often less secure than the stock OS, as long as the stock OS is getting updates.

You shouldn’t trust an influencer, even someone that doesn’t outright scam you, they make the videos that make them the most money.

DIY UPS sounds like the recipe for disaster.

I don’t see how you would feed the UPS with 230V converted to 12V DC, why use the UPS if you have 230V mains?

I don’t know if LK-99 is a useful discovery, if its only property is diamagnetism.

Ferromagnetic semiconductors are a thing, they used to control quantum spin in quantum computers. They are made by doping a semiconductor with a transition metal, and diamagnetic transition metals do exists.

It would be worse than cuprate superconductors which need 130K.

Has anyone been able to prove superconductivity?

If it’s been proven that the levitation isn’t a result of the Meissner effect, I don’t see why there is any reason to believe that material is in a superconducting state.

People outside the team could know about the research they were doing, they could feel pressured to release their results to prove ownership, in case someone else could try and claim the patent.

Maybe “completely killed” isn’t the right word, but we could have another AI winter at some point.

No, it’s specific for LLM.

The first AI development was done around 1945, and what we are seeing now is the 3rd AI renaissance. The problem with AI until now was that it showed great potential, but it ran into issues we didn’t have then technology to solve, which completely killed the field of AI for decades.

CPU development was very linear, AI development was not. There were decades with very little AI research, and there were decades with explosive development.

I wouldn’t try and mix different disk types, but you can check the documentation of your raid controller and see what it supports.

The SSD will be limited to the speed of the HDD, so there probably isn’t much point in doing this unless you swap all the HDD. If you swap all drives, it would be safer to build a new raid and migrate the data.

They are preventing you from removing IME, they are not preventing you from disabling IME.

You can use HAP to disable IME, but you can’t use something like me_cleaner to clean or neuter IME.

I know Intel didn’t want to open source the FSP, something about how it was by the IMM in servers. You are probably never going to be able to boot Intel CPUs without using IME, but I’m personally okay with the HAP disable.

There are just not a lot of options if you want to use Coreboot on modern hardware, I’m current using Dasharo, and I don’t know of any other option for current gen hardware.

I wouldn’t mind switching to AMD, but it would require that a company is willing to port Coreboot to the hardware.

Intel isn’t preventing you from using Coreboot, or disabling IME.

It is the motherboard that needs to support Coreboot, not the CPU.
