No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How does open source BIOS protect against unintentional USB devices?
1·20 hours agosigh To actually answer your question:
Coreboot itself is just init firmware that contains a payload, such as Seabios, GRUB or Tianocore.
Those can have passwords (or also not, Seabios can’t, as far as I’m aware).
There’s a Libreboot site on how to lock down GRUB.
Basically, you have to flash your own config by adding your password hash and replacing the one in the ROM with e.g. cbfstool. It may sound scarier than it is.
Besides having less features than many proprietary BIOSes, I prefer the flexibility of having your own config to play around with. You can also create custom entries to boot fully encrypted RAIDs and such stuff.
(I sighed because many answers were about BIOS passwords not being effective anyway, which, to me, is dog shit, because of course you do not want somebody random to be able to just boot a USB from your device and screw up your system. And no, it does not reset itself when you take out the CMOS battery.)

Kalender gibt es ja einige, auch speziell für die historischen Events.
Die sagen einem aber leider nicht, ob die Märkte auch gut sind, daher wollte ich da gerne persönliche Erfahrungen hören.

Darf man das so verstehen…?
I do get what you mean and I feel similarly when people talk about cats, dogs and especially human babies.
But does this do anything for you? Because it does for me.

Geoscentific and ecological implications aside, they have a huge ass continent with multiple giant lakes and small peninsulas all around. With a comparable vegetation to earth, this would look amazing in person, I believe.
