TSME and memory encryption

Is there even any benefit to SME, it seems worse

TSME and memory encryption

tsme should work on non-pro cpus if you can turn the option on, but there is no easy way to verify it

TSME and memory encryption

Actually fwupdmgr says 'not supported' so I'm guessing it's maybe not even a thing in the BIOS, unsure

Maybe I'm asking the wrong person, but I'm curious and DDG wasn't of help;

I have TSME enabled (instead of disabled or auto) in my BIOS, but I'm not sure if it works and if it's worse or better than SME, and the system reports that I don't have encrypted memory.

What is the reason for passim being recommended for removal?

lucasmz — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 21:42:55 +0100

You had some thoughts on PackageKit, and it convinced me, being stored on RAM, I'm wondering about passim, is there any security/privacy issue with it?

I'm unsure if this is a brace issue; anyhow:

#Kernel Command Line "amd_iommu=force_isolation" blank screen

On mine it doesn't break boot, ryzen 5600g, instead, it actually causes random crashes while using the system which end up freezing everything

when trying to use "brace-update-system 42" with brace-20250505-1:

"Problem: installed package real-ucode-3:20250203-1.noarch requires amd-ucode-firmware >= 3:20231101, but none of the providers can be installed ...

should i uninstall real-ucode when trying to upgrade?

thank you

Prefer Wayland when available in Chromium

If the chrome://flags/#ozone-platform-hint is set to 'Auto', change it to 'Default'. Close the browser without selecting the relaunch button when the dialog popup option appears.
Open it either by enabling the --ozone-platform=wayland flag.
Something along the lines of:
chromium --ozone-platform=wayland >/dev/null 2>&1 & disown
Or by adding that flag to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/chromium-flags.conf

But then again, not sure about how you have everything else setup and configured, so this may require more changes on your end.

this is happening to multiple systems since 1-2 days, maybe Fedora update related

F41 - since April-12-2025 gpg checks issue

removing .gnupg/public-keys.d/pubring.db.lock - fixes that. Any relation to brace possible?

thereisnoanderson opened issue divested/brace#11

thereisnoanderson — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:55:41 +0200

Since April-12 gpg import or check results:

gpg: Note: database_open # waiting for lock (held by #) ...
gpg: keydb_search failed: Connection timed out

haven't checked for any brace relation yet. < wrong i uninstalled and rebooted. No change

since Fedora 6.13.4-200.fc41 "amd_iommu=force_isolation" arg on system causing a blank screen after grub_timeout.

last working kernel using that arg: 6.12.15-200.fc41.

any correlation to "AMD microcode signature verification vulnerability (CVE-2024-56161)" ?

Chromium stupidly defaults to X11, trying to figure out how to potentially solve this
Checkable with xeyes

It can be changed to be solved by the user with #ozone-platform-hint but that's not ideal

firefox: use beaconDB instead of Google when location services are used

that's fair, https://beacondb.net/map hardly covers much if the user doesn't contribute around their area
but I don't really see anything else replacing Mozilla ATM 🤷🏻‍♀️ (other than commercial offers and proxies)

beaconDB should include the MLS cell export, plus the fallback for IP, plus the contributor data; in regular laptops/desktops though, it will probably only include IP, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth maybe.

AFAIK the options are:

asking for an api key for Positon (which seems like way too much for brace, for what is just an apple nlp privacy-respecting proxy) (which is also going away if beaconDB gets big enough, https://positon.xyz/docs/#sla)
go with beaconDB, but have sub-par coverage
stay with Google as a default, which to be fair should only be used if location is triggered
disable location completely
use the OS provider (geoclue)?

chrony: add ntp.br servers

yeah I noticed that. Is that an issue per-se? I thought there were multiple datasets for accuracy or something
