   The waifs stared up at the bandits, who were somewhat disappointed that the travelers they had ambushed were not wealthy merchants.

   "No matter," said the leader, "Search them, surely they'll have journey-food and gifts."

   The bandits were able to find, without protest, some food, a pouch of water, a dolly, a cake and seven gold coins. The children were sent on their way.

   By evening, dolly returned everything that was taken, and then some.

   @encore Well, the people who use Libreboot tend to be more saavy to these things, and these attacks rely on being able to write to the flash in any way.

   By default, Linux kernels these days typically protect /dev/mem by default (prevents flash writes).

   Libreboot does not enable things like SMMSTORE; anything you flash then hardcodes the machine configuration until re-flash.

   Libreboot also uses coreboot and doesn't use edk2 so, smaller attack surface. Also see:

   I was asked to explain "Cantonese writing" in relation to "the many Chinese languages" by @toddo, but the 500-character limit on Mastodon won't cut it. So here's a pedestrian look at it. Hopefully I won't lose too many of you along the way.

   By the way, I'm not an academic and have no formal training. If anything I say is inaccurate, please refer to our resident linguist @lukito for his expertise.

   Anyway, here we go. (1/13)
