We've grown an absolute shit ton of people the past day, insanely nuts to see how active World is.

Because on the main Lenny website world shows up as recommended. The other recommended sites want users to put an email in addition to a write up on what they can offer. Which totally kills interest for any new people.

I think the main Lenny website is to blame here tbh. It pushing users towards a few preset instances that are not really new user friendly.

Some are not accepting sign ups at all.

ELI5 what is the difference between UEFI handles passed to grub by a proprietary bootloader versus coreboot?

I’m not sure I completely understand the question.

But vendor / custom UEFI implementations could obviously pass around whatever structures they want.

The EFI RUNTIME services - for example - could expose custom functions in a proprietary UEFI implementation. Though in my experience this usually is not the case.

Grub should run as an EFI bootloader binary after core UEFI is done. Afaik there is no particular ring / exception level required here. It could vary depending on UEFI implantation.

on android arm32/64 devices I obviously don’t see grub, but core EFI handles and services are not modified much. If anything it’s just expanded to support the next bootloader stage and handle stuff like key combos to select next boot image
