Cool story bro. And I am one of the 9 people that worked on the team at Intel to implement your modern EFI/UEFI.

I just don’t have the time or energy to sit here and explain the whole fucking stack to a bunch of people who mostly could care less. But, Secureboot, it’s a good thing, and the tools on linux get better every hour. Check out lanzaboote.

Tpm is for crypto and secure generation and storage of values for use in encryption generally. Secureboot is just firmware verification of loaded binaries from boot on out, they’re 2 different pieces and are not really relevant to each other, unless you’re like me and have a fully customized bootloader with keys in TPM and an EFI module with support for the TPM and unlocking your boot drive.

Dumb ass advice.

Correct.

Nope, i had 10Mb fiber in 1995.

I shutdown all the he resources visible to me, then went thru their cancellation process, then 2 months later I started getting past due bills for very small amounts. Since I had closed my account I had no way to login again to view and make payments, and all this even though I had automatic billing thru my credit card. Every time I reached out I got automated emails in German and no response for like a week at a time, even though they kept emailing these petty ass messages about past due amounts of less than a dollar. I even received snail mail with a collection notice, over $0.83 one time. It’s downright petty as fuck and unprofessional as fuck, and they are very well known for this behavior.

Hetzner is fucking trash. Dare you to try canceling, I took me over 6 months to get them to stop billing me 80 fucking cents per month over a resource that I had no way to delete. Then they started threatening me with collections for like $3, fuck them.

You get it? I have one too, never going to use it again.
