Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

You need to be a root to exploit it, but if it get exploited any way to get rid of it is to throw MB to trash.

Patch/reflash with a new bios?

How do you trust that the flash was done properly if you did it from the compromised system? This would only work if you flashed it externally somehow without the system running.

Exactly. That's why it's a trash motherboard as soon as root access is gained. It can never again be trusted.
