@bookingcom could you please stop your data center hammering the #iPXE cross-signed certificate server? If not, then we'll have to start blocking your traffic soon.
@AndHammarskjold@risc_v So far, just QEMU. It should work on any @risc_v#UEFI hardware. Next experiment will hopefully be to interface directly with @OpenSBI and bypass UEFI altogether.
wimboot v2.8.0 is finally released with support for network booting @Windows on @Arm - thanks to @2pintsoftware for sponsoring! https://t.co/wbAr715mpi
if you committed this to a codebase i worked in, i would do everything in my power to replace this with a couple asserts and see to it you leave my team
please for the future you do not commit code you don't understand
@thebsdbox My hot take: PXE boot did not go far enough. Images should be at HTTPS endpoints and auth should be mTLS. I want to completely recreate my machine from scratch anywhere, securely.
@KnightNZ@ashinclouds No, they've specifically called out iPXE code as being of unusually high quality. Getting a signed version at this point is largely a question of having enough money to go through the bureaucratic overhead.
the industry currently relies on a hard fought, narrowly circumscribed, widely understood and shared definition of what open source is.
if it suddenly means something different, the term by definition becomes meaningless because that shared understanding is no longer shared.
Totally agree. Pull requests are always well intentioned contributions and it's great that people want to help out, but for anything non-trivial the code review can often be more work than it would be to write the code from scratch.
The #wimboot version 2.7.2 binaries have been signed for #UEFI Secure Boot in a record one-day turnaround time!

BootGen 1.0 released for iPXE Anywhere customers to try out. I will generate USB keys for booting to iPXE without the need for PXE infrastructure. I can also add/sync BranchCache caches with the keys and back. This allows you to use any USB based dock to build any laptop/tablet!
