TrueNAS build system going closed source (piefed.social)

submitted 13 hours ago by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

33 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Readme updated today:

This repository is no longer actively maintained.  

The TrueNAS build system previously hosted here has been moved to an internal infrastructure. This transition was necessary to meet new security requirements, including support for Secure Boot and related platform integrity features that require tighter control over the build and signing pipeline.  

No further updates, pull requests, or issues will be accepted. Existing content is preserved here for historical reference only.

Wondering if this is just the first step towards doing a minio in the future.

Are they lying about secure boot being a reason or can I go back to thinking SB is part of Microsoft's EEE attack on software freedom?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It can be a bit of both.

I don't think secureboot is an attack on freedom exactly (and it's certainly not an instance of EEE), but I definitely think it shouldn't be Microsoft holding the keys.

Literally today Chris Titus released a video where he emphasized that no one should be using secure boot because the default backend is Microsoft and no one changes their secure boot config.

If that's true there's an argument that the name "secure boot" is hardly detachable from the defaults and thus that name is kid of burnt and shouldn't be recommended out of an abundance of caution for new users.

@tabular @Ek-Hou-Van-Braai They are lying. Debian supports Secure Boot and remains open.

Although "related platform integrity" stuff might be something they're being forced to include by a government agency or paid to include by another company.
