Skylake experience with -current

Hi misc@, First off, I wanted to thank tedu and everyone else who worked hard on getting Skylake DRM support into -current. I was really excited to read about that in Ted's post and thought I'd try it out on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon (4th generation) laptop. I renamed my /etc/x11.conf file to get it

Libreboot / Thinkpad T500

Hi misc@, I was able to successfully externally flash the BIOS of my Thinkpad T500 with the latest version of Libreboot. I'm really wanting to run full disk encryption on this machine (which boots now with Grub2 as the payload) and I've tried numerous hacks / kludges / clever ideas and I'm still

Adding root CA

Hi misc@, Where I work, we are required to install a self-signed root CA into our machines in order to access https sites on the Internet. It basically allows our security appliances to do a MITM attack on the traffic and look into it to examine the payload for viruses, data exfiltration, etc. I

Security question / idea

Hi misc@, In playing around with Libreboot and Coreboot, my belief that physical access to the hardware really ups an attacker’s ability to win against most security has been massively reinforced. For example, someone with enough practice could take my Thinkpad T500 apart, force flash the BIOS (a

Just FYI I picked up my Thinkpad x220 off of eBay for $200 or so. OpenBSD does a great job on even "older" hardware because it is kept so lean by the developers. Thanks, Bryan On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 11:33 AM, Domovoy wrote: > Thinkpads are over my budget (i find them starting with the E550 a

I have it up and running. It runs pretty hot and in Gnome, the settings app crashes before it can load (as does the power management app). Guessing that the Apple SMC voodoo is probably not supported. Here's my dmesg: OpenBSD 5.8-current (GENERIC.MP) #1663: Wed Nov 25 13:59:58 MST 2015 dera.
