@jaiden@elly No I'm talking about how each package is installed separate from each other, and each user can have their own set of packages. Something like android-style package management for linux.
@lucasmz@notfire@nano Yes, you can switch to dev mode and enable usb booting and disable the kernel signature requirement, or even replace the signing key with your own if you really want to.
@notfire@lucasmz@nano Technically the kernel still needs to be "signed" with the weird depthcharge format but this makes the bootloader load the kernel even if it doesn't have the google signature.
so our chromebook corebooting #37c3 talk hasn’t been uploaded to media.ccc.deyet, but if you’d like to watch it, one of our friends has ripped the livestream into a convenient mp4.
@s31bz Depthboot was a terrible project. I would know since I was the second dev working on it. The main dev, apacelus, was a nightmare to work with which is why I left the project.
the fact that depthcharge (the firmware on chromebooks) is mostly undocumented and we somehow know the ins and outs of it is just more proof of the power of open source
