schestowitzI typically do that while also, at the same time, typing articles.Mar 07 09:16
schestowitzMy workflow is improving with the latest Kate. I'm really liking what they did in the latest version, except the telemetry (!!).Mar 07 09:16

schestowitzRemember I use simple PCs that I get cheaply, so a new Raspberry Pi 4 means much manufacturing energy. I'd use each until they burn out. There are now 4 laptops at  my service. Rianne has 2. All very, very cheap.Mar 07 09:16

schestowitz                  <blockquote>Mar 07 10:10
schestowitz                    <p> Intel tried to make this root of trust as secure as possible. Intel's security is designed so that even arbitrary code execution in any Intel CSME firmware module would not jeopardize the root cryptographic key (Chipset Key), but only the specific functions of that particular module. Plus, as the thinking went, any risks could be easily mitigated by changing encryption keys via the security version number (Mar 07 10:10
schestowitzSVN) mechanism. This was demonstrated in 2017, when an arbitrary code execution vulnerability was found in the BringUP (bup) firmware module, as described in Intel SA-00086. At that time, Intel simply generated new keys by incrementing the SVN, easily preventing any compromise of EPID-based technologies. </p></blockquote></li>Mar 07 10:10
