I no longer want big tech to have control over me and my content.
But I don't want to invest monetarily or intellectually in doing it myself.
So I think somebody else should do it all for me for free.

I deleted my post on Mastodon earlier, because I thought this was worthy of a *news* post in Libreboot instead:
https://libreboot.org/news/hp8200sff.html
Thanks to the hard work of @rikuv, Libreboot has gained its first new desktop board in ~2 years.
That board is the HP Elite 8200 SFF desktop PC. We believe the 6200 Pro Business PC from HP will also work (vendor updates for both are the same).
The news post also details more plans for Libreboot as far as desktop hardware support goes. Lots more work planned!

My friend @j3s explains in very simple and approachable terms how to git gud at shell scripting, and why you would want to do that

Fediverse Observer says it knows of 200 Owncast servers on the #Fediverse. While not every #Owncast server takes part in the Fediverse, that's pretty cool that many people decided to enable it, since that feature is off by default. https://owncast.fediverse.observer/list

@joshuatopolsky It’s not just links to Mastodon. It happened to me just using the word mastodon in another context. My link was actually to a story about mastodon DNA being sequenced at the MIT Technology Review

What's the easiest way to set up a simulated network with ISP-style NAT? Preferably without buying dedicated hardware for the purpose, and preferably reproducible for other developers.
Usecase: I am developing a P2P system, and need a reasonably representative environment to test my software in, and how well it deals with shitty residential networking configurations.
I'm a developer, not a network engineer, so my knowledge of networks is limited to a developer perspective and I don't have the spoons to learn it in-depth.
Boosts appreciated 
cute pet posting

@forestjohnson My weird rationale for chosing EOL'd ChromeOS devices is that Google publishes when they get EOL'd so I can just check that calendar against whatever devices are best supported by the custom firmware (seabios/coreboot) builds and get a consistent supply of devices that are otherwise destined to become unsupported e-waste.
I set up this thin client computer in my fathers basement today. It cost $35 used on ebay, is fanless at 10W TDP, and has 8GB of RAM.
Seems like a fine time to repost this, instead of purchasing a new SBC consider upcycling an old thin-client instead! You get more GB of RAM per $ that way anyways and some great fanless options exist on ebay for less than $50. I'd link to the article I wrote about this but my home server is down right now and I'm traveling.
