Lenovo RTL8153-04 jumbo frames on ARM

2024-11-10 Thread Lionel Élie Mamane
Hi, After much head-scratching of why I could not SSH-connect to the computer in my basement (the SSH connection process would start but then stall), while everything seemed normal on the physical console, I understood that the USB-C Ethernet NIC that came with my Lenovo X13s seems not to work wit

Thinkpad X13s no battery level

2023-05-30 Thread Lionel Élie Mamane

I initially successfully installed Debian some time ago on my Thinkpad X13s using (a previous version of) the linaro instructions at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WuxE-42ZeOkKAft5FuUk6C2fonkQ8sqNZ56ZmZ49hGI This installed kernel 6.0.0-rc3-custom. Today I decided to upgrade a bit, so I added

Is an ARM computer a good choice? Which one?

2023-03-20 Thread Lionel Élie Mamane
Would an ARM-based machine be a good freedom-respecting computer to run Debian on? I read the Raptor/Power guys saying modern ARM has freedom problems in a, but I haven't seen them go into specifics. Is it at least "not as bad" as amd64, with Intel's Management Engine and AMD's equivalent? Or is so
