   My FOSDEM 2026 talk about Libreboot has now been uploaded.

   You can find the talk, along with slides, here:

   https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/W7M9LV-libreboot-free-your-bios-today/

   Here is a direct link to the video (MP4):

   or (smaller file size, WEBM):

   Some of the feed got cut due to intermittent equipment failure at FOSDEM (happened on a few other talks), so sometimes the talk skips ahead in the recording; about 43 minutes were ultimately recorded, but I actually spoke (plus q&a) for 50min

     @nemobis actually, i wasn't connected to wifi. i didn't think it was a problem, because lbmk caches everything aggressively, as i'd ensired before the talk.

     i overlooked that grub was also downloading PO files for translations during build time, so i got caught out by that. i fixed it, the next day after my talk. see patch:

     https://browse.libreboot.org/lbmk.git/commit/?id=8f128e6728e3486fa2c91d4610da3ab3df22249f

     i could have improvised during the talk and disabled grub in lbmk, for demo purposes, but oh well. i'll just do another talk to correct the old one

     @libreleah Thank you, it was so nice to have you back at FOSDEM!

     Too bad the build failed due (apparently) to a DNS resolution failure, an unusually frequent occurrence with the FOSDEM network this year.
