Women and men are in the same league, the league isn’t for just men, there just isn’t any women with high enough rating to be in the top 100.

There is a special league just for women where men can’t compete.

No, at least not in the sense that they are stupid.

Boys tend to be more interested in chess at a younger age, unless you start playing chess professionally at a very young age you are probably never going to a top 100 player.

It’s similar to why very few women become top tier in e-sport, they don’t typically have that interest at a very young age.

I think the highest rated woman is 2628, she wouldn’t even be in the top 100 which would require a rating of 2644.

With current rating, not a single women would have a chance to play in international tournaments, if there only was one league.

You can use DNS over HTTPS or TLS with Quad9 https://www.quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features

If you are using PiHole just use that as the forward DNS.

It’s 2023. By this time I’m fine if BIOS boot was removed completely

I was replying to that post.

But I guess read the thread before posting was too much to ask.

Why not?

Qubes OS use Fedora for dom0.

It would hurt some projects.

Just as an example, A small project Qubes OS supports UEFI, but a lot of the UEFI implementations from different manufactures are broken or don’t follow the standards. Qubes OS doesn’t have the developer resources to fix issues with motherboards or laptops only used by a handful of users, so when all else fails the solution is to use legacy mode.

Coreboot also uses legacy boot for some payloads.

The idea is that if a machine defaults to “legacy boot,” meaning a BIOS-style boot, then use that to load U-Boot, which then provides a software emulation of UEFI so that the startup process can be simplified by the removal of BIOS support.

Sounds more like the illusion of simplicity

but on the other hand, this is completely unnecessary.

Everyone should have the freedom to be the architect of their own fortune or misfortune.

I don’t pretend to know why they do it, but as long as everyone is doing it willingly and know the risk, I don’t have a problem with it.

DIY UPS sounds like the recipe for disaster.

I don’t see how you would feed the UPS with 230V converted to 12V DC, why use the UPS if you have 230V mains?

But they have been sued, more than once.

You can say that, but NovaCustom is working with 3mdeb to develop the Coreboot based Dasharo firmware, and m3deb is committing their work to Coreboot.

Dasharo is the most promising attempt at making an open source firmware that is user-friendly enough that anyone can use it.

The fact that you can buy an MSI Z690 and flash coreboot, without having to compile from source or use an eprom programmer, is a massive step in the right direction.

Most sane people just want to disable ME because it increases the attack surface of your system, and using the HAP disable does exactly that.

You can tell ME is shut down after the boot sequence is completed, which will protect your system from all ME attacks that does target the boot process.

AMT only works on a system that has a chipset and CPU that supports AMT, which used to be the vPro line of laptops.

Now pretty much everything is vPro, and it’s only the vPro enterprise that has AMT.

It doesn’t work anymore, you have not been able to clean CPUs after ~8th gen, you can only HAP disable ME on modern CPU.

I don’t think the name matters, I also don’t care about the drama with the (former) lead developer.

I just want to use the best OS option for my phone, and at the moment I believe it’s Graphene OS.

If the only thing you care about is how much money Google makes, then you are not even in the game.
