@SheHacksPurple My free computers speed up when I'm running out of time for freedom. -

@splitshockvirus @charlie_root @david @eric There is a free software iKVM port ("openBMC"?), although I would check that's free first.
Why would you want to backdoor your free systems with proprietary broadcom garbage that runs proprietary software?
dracut does have an option to allow entering the password on bootup via ssh, but it's all manual really. -

@SpaceLifeForm @beyondmachines1 See if you can find the booklet that came with the router or check the web interface - there should be GPLv2 request notice written there.
If that's missing and that router runs BusyBox/Linux, D-Link has lost their license to distribute BusyBox and Linux. -

@SpaceLifeForm @beyondmachines1 You need to carry out a GPLv2 request with D-Link, demanding the source code of Linux, u-boot, etc, plus the installation information (i.e. information of the location of the UART header, the pinout and the baud).
Once you have that, you submit that to the openwrt project and hopefully someone goes and does a port and upstreams the chipset support etc without adding all the proprietary software. -

@splitshockvirus @eric @charlie_root @david ASUS previously did make good server motherboards like the KGPE-D16 (unlike trash motherboards, there's the JTAG and UART headers left on the board).
The only drawback I see is that the SAS card and the iKVM card is not included by default, but eh those do run proprietary software... -

@Zergling_man Indeed - there's nothing of value on there to scrape. -

@Francisco 1. The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this. - the JavaScript is served in obfuscript form without function names or comments or indenting, thus understanding the program would require reverse engineering and doing so may be illegal.
2. The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help others (freedom 2). - no license means you are forbidden from redistributing it by copyright.
3. The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this. - you don't have freedoms 1 or 2, so you don't have 3.
These freedoms may seem odd by those used to having them taken by proprietary software companies, but all users deserve them and should demand them. -

@Francisco Inducing the user to lose part of their freedom and then proceeding to take it is how you attack freedom.
The distribution of each and every proprietary program is an individual attack on freedom. -

@Francisco @catmanmancat Proprietary software denies all four freedoms (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms), so hosting a website that serves proprietary software (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.html) and then recommending that people use that website is an attack on freedom. -

@Zergling_man @yassie_j @SuperDicq Here we have Mr blind attack.
The whole idea of the dark is that there's no light, so you can't see shit.
Even if you can see fine, someone going behind you without lights might not see you, as no back lights and rear end you.
I remember hearing about an incredible collision rate in a certain country were it is not seen as "manly" to put the lights on. -

@Zergling_man @yassie_j @SuperDicq At night, turning on high beams when there are other cars makes it harder for other drivers to see, but not normal headlights.
Other than on newer proprietary cars, normal headlights aren't bright enough to cause an issue.
If you don't have lights on, nobody will see you coming at T-intersections. -

@papush @lumi A lot of software people call "FOSS" turns out to be proprietary.
Yes, free software malware has been written and that respects freedom as long as you only install it on your own computers.
Otherwise; https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html
