The length of the wire is actually more an issue of capacitance and interferences. But these issues are easily mitigated by reducing the spi speed

This has some “yes do as I say” vibes

Yeah this has me lost too

I don’t know what’s stupid to say about Gesellschaft für Software und Systementwicklung mit beschränkter Haftung

Hmm, I’m not sure… I must admit, I only use SeaBIOS, not GRUB, so I wouldn’t know how to configure it

Yeah, that’s basically right. I believe flashprog is also included in libreboot, have a look in the elf/ directory. After that, it should work as expected

Oh you can still do that. The path changed to elf/cbfstool/[TREE]/cbfstool (replace [TREE] with the tree concerened). Note that since the switch to the libre RAM init code, mrc.bin is not included anymore

I’m not sure what you mean by “checking the ROM”…

They’ve been pretty tame lately, but there have been issues historically that made a lot of people (rightfully) mad. You ca read on them here: https://manjarno.pages.dev/

Ich hab Stunden, nur leer. Meine Liebe ist Rache, die nie kostenlos ist

That was a fantastic read. Highly recommend (despite old site)

realistic yet fantastical

So which is it then ?

Das heißt auf Deutsch ein Sprung!

(War zu lange nimmer auf ich_iel, sagt man hier noch „SPRICH“?)

I don’t know what the problem is. I’m trying to rule things out one after the other.

Maybe try using systemd-boot instead of GRUB?

There are a few ways to investigate, but for that we would need a bit more info. Firstly, what distro do you use ? Try using a different bootloader than GRUB to see if it solves the issue. Otherwise you could also try to use Linux’s UEFI stub.

A project is in no way, shape, or form obliged to to accept and maintain your code, especially if it’s not a feature they want. If you want your feature so badly, maintain a soft-fork yourself. Don’t want to put in that effort yourself? Then why should the project maintainers?

The serious answer is to whatever your country’s internet regulation agency is (assuming your in the EU, else you’re out of luck). So for example, in France that would be the CNIL, in Germany it’s the BfDI, etc.

Yeah, my university’s intranet (and I believe also their homepage, but I’m not sure) has the same

It’s really a skill issue if replacing T by [T ] in your regexp is hard

You’ll have to wait for FreeBSD 66.6, which may happen in a few decades
