Would the BCM5719 open-source firmware work on regular computers? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for the information!

I do have Libreboot on all my computers, my T1700 MT is currently Librebooted, that's the server I'm planning on using this card with. I wonder, since the firmware is nearly entirely open, we can possibly support it then, no?

Would the BCM5719 open-source firmware work on regular computers? (github.com)
 

Hello,

I'm interested in using the BCM5719 (specifically, the Dell BCM5719 NetXtreme 4x PCIe Network Card) with the open-source firmware replacement. Can it work with regular computers (e.g., Dell Precision T1700 MT)? I was reading through the docs and saw that it only lets you build two versions, one for the Talos II and one for the Blackbird. If not, could this possibly be reworked to work on regular computers?

Thanks!

Self-hosting doesn't really fix anything, the developers can still control the program and read all your chats/calls.

No, you should have the freedom to use it if you want. All I'm saying is that you can't really call TeamSpeak a better alternative, when they're both just as bad (they're both proprietary). If you're looking for a better alternative, consider using Mumble, it's FOSS.

Stable diffusion on Arch Linux with a 7900 XTX? (lemm.ee)
 

Hello,

I've been having trouble getting Stable Diffusion to run on Arch. I bought a 7900 XTX a couple weeks ago to get away from NVIDIA, one thing I really liked to do was mess around in Stable Diffusion, but for some reason I can't seem to get it working. I followed the guide on their page, but I think it may be outdated:

https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/wiki/Install-and-Run-on-AMD-GPUs#install-on-amd-and-arch-linux

When I do 'pip install -r requirements.txt', it fails halfway through installing:

https://paste.debian.net/1317412

Not sure what to do from here, any help is appreciated!

I may not read the source code of every tool I use, but even if the average user doesn't read the source code, having it available for inspection by others in the community increases security, trust, and overall software quality. All a user really has to do is look at the license of the software they use, typically a GPL or similar license, and consider how reputable it is. Not only that, but if you're on Linux already, you can just get most of the software from your distro's repositories.

So you're just trusting them to not do anything bad?

If you can't audit the source code of the program, how do you know if TeamSpeak isn't malware?

Isn't TeamSpeak proprietary though?

They're owned by a for-profit company, they collect data on you by default, they've already had privacy issues in the past, and they include non-free software by default. I would rather have a beginner start off with Debian or Trisquel. We shouldn't be trapping people into these distros because then they'll potentially get too comfortable and not make the switch. This is coming from someone who did start off on Ubuntu. Sure, it's more convenient, but we should be teaching people to value freedom over convenience. Even if the data collection is minimal, it's still data.

Just booted fresh Debian install with 7900 XTX: Getting errors at boot (lemm.ee)
 

Hello,

So I just bought a 7900 XTX and put it in my Libreboot 9020 MT motherboard (I have a custom build that I made for myself), it says during bootup of Debian:

"amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: firmware: failed to load amdgpu/gc_11_00_0_mes_2.bin (-2)"

I took out the GPU, booted into the OS without errors, and checked if the firmware-amd-graphics package was installed, which it was. I'm new to AMD, wondering if anyone else has had the same issue before.

Advice on finding a partner? (lemm.ee)
 

I just got ghosted by the girl I was talking to, I want to find another girl to talk to. This girl and I met at the gym, but I don't want to be the guy that goes to the gym just to meet girls. I mean sure there's the bar and Tinder, but I want a real relationship. I mean, I guess it'll come to me.

Any way to make forwarded notifications from my other user on GrapheneOS show the full contents of the notification? (lemm.ee)

When I get notification from my other user account (which is named "Work"), it only says "Notification from Teams for Work"

Teams = Microsoft Teams app

I just hate having to switch back and forth between accounts to see the full contents of the message. I really don't want Teams or Outlook installed on my main account, I want my main account to FOSS, while my other account can have the other proprietary apps. I just want to be able to see the full contents of the message when it gets forwarded, and not just "Notification".

Hello, I don't have much experience in self-hosting, I'm buying a ProtonVPN subscription and would like to port forward. I have like no experience in self-hosting but a good amount in Linux. I'm planning on using Proxmox VE with a YunoHost VM. I already have a domain name from Njalla. I'm setting up a website for my computer store. I want it to have listings and payment options so they can check out there. I want my customer data to be secure. I don't want it to have any JavaScript or nasty trackers. I want it to be FOSS. Any help is highly appreciated!
