% Libreboot IRC now operating exclusively on Libera Chat
|

|
||||
Libreboot IRC now operates exclusively on Libera Chat. The old Freenode channel
|
||||
has been *abandoned*. You can find instructions for how to connect, here:\
|
||||
<https://libreboot.org/contact.html#irc-chatroom>
|
||||
|
||||
This decision was already made, several weeks ago, but I decided to wait a few
|
||||
weeks before officially announcing it. Instead, I've been announcing it quietly
|
||||
on IRC. Enough people have left the Freenode channel that I feel comfortable
|
||||
making this announcement. Announcing it a few weeks ago would have been risky,
|
||||
because Freenode has become infamous for hijacking channels and impersonating
|
||||
their community when they try to move. This decision by the new Freenode staff
|
||||
made me act carefully.
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to learn more about the events that took place, simply look up
|
||||
Freenode, Libera Chat and Andrew Lee online. I have no interest in any of them.
|
||||
Long story short, the old Freenode staff feared a hostile takeover by Andrew
|
||||
Lee, the owner of Freenode, who they believed was taking a more authoritarian
|
||||
stance over the network. As a pre-emptive defense, the staff all left in unison
|
||||
and formed a new network, named Libera Chat. Most projects have moved there now
|
||||
and Freenode is a *ghost town* these days.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not on Libera's side. I'm not on anyone's side. I only care about Libreboot,
|
||||
and I've concluded that Libera Chat is the superior choice for Libreboot's IRC
|
||||
needs, going forward. My reasons are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
* Libera staff is the old Freenode staff. They did an excellent job running
|
||||
Freenode, and they've never caused me any problems.
|
||||
* Most other Free Software projects that I care about have already moved off of
|
||||
Freenode, and most of them to Libera IRC. I prefer to use just one IRC server
|
||||
|
||||
I was initially neutral about the Freenode/Libera *civil war*. I was planning
|
||||
to have my projects exist on both networks, and bridge them, but I concluded
|
||||
that Freenode is unworthy of my time.
|
||||
|
||||
What turned me against Freenode was:
|
||||
|
||||
* I don't like that they started hijacking channels when their owners left
|
||||
Freenode. This is wrong. I initially tried to rationalize it, because so far,
|
||||
the new Freenode staff haven't wronged *me* personally, but this was selfish.
|
||||
* Freenode reset its ircd, purging the entire database. This meant that nicks
|
||||
and channels had to be re-registered. This was completely unnecessary and
|
||||
demonstrates a complete disregard for the operational security of the users
|
||||
on the network
|
||||
|
||||
What else is there to say?

% New Libreboot website

|
||||
|
||||
You may have noticed: the site has changed! The old website has been nuked from
|
||||
orbit. The new site is far improved, especially the Libreboot installation
|
||||
guides. In general, the new website is much cleaner and easier to navigate.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm very close to the new Libreboot release. I spoke of it in a
|
||||
[previous article](libreboot202104xx.md).
|
||||
|
||||
The work on the new Libreboot release has been done in the `libre` branch of
|
||||
osboot. See:\
|
||||
<https://notabug.org/osboot/osbmk/commits/libre>
|
||||
|
||||
Today, I forked osboot-libre into a new Libreboot repository: `lbmk.git`
|
||||
|
||||
You can see the new `lbmk` repository here:
|
||||
<https://notabug.org/libreboot/lbmk>
|
||||
|
||||
The new release is nearly ready. I'm polishing it up, and will be ready soon
|
||||
with a glorious new release!
|
||||
|
||||
PS:
|
||||
|
||||
This new Libreboot website is still written in Markdown, but I have *greatly*
|
||||
improved the static site generator. The static site generator, named *Untitled*
|
||||
can be seen here in this Git repository:
|
||||
|
||||
<https://notabug.org/untitled/untitled>
|
||||
|
||||
A website will soon be available for Untitled, hosted here:
|
||||
<https://untitled.vimuser.org/> (this new site isn't live yet, at the time of
|
||||
writing this News post for Libreboot).
