Two thoughts are in my head, both equally valid:

OpenSSH port tunneling is the best thing ever. It's the reason I can do a lot of things that I do.

It's stupid that Debian's installer doesn't let you continue after partitioning when putting /boot inside an encrypted volume; you have to manually change it after the fact. Which makes sense, they want to prevent you from making an unbootable setup, right?

Except that encrypted /boot is fully bootable in Libreboot. See:

libreboot.org/docs/linux/grub_

@TheyCallMeHacked They've been talking about that for ages now. I hope it merges too, and I understand their reasoning for holding off on merging the PHC patches, because they wanted to update libgcrypt instead.

But they could have merged the PHC-based patches too, the ones by Patrick Steinhardt.

It would also be nice if they'd merge Patrick Rudolf's native xHCI patches. That would be pretty cool, actually.

And merge Vladimir Serbinenko's NVMe driver - or the one Mate Kukri did independently.

@libreleah I guess that's the big problem of massive software projects. Good ideas kinda get lost in the bureaucracy of it…
