docs/hardware is redundant, because it now mostly
contains installation instructions, and docs/install
also contains hardware information. therefore, in
practise, they are both the same kind of information.
merge the two, and streamline everything. a lot of
redundant information has been removed.
docs/install/ has been re-structured in such a way
as to enable more chronological reading, to make it
easier for the average user to install Libreboot.
This is part of a larger series of changes I'm working
on for the documentation. I'm massively auditing the
entire Libreboot documentation.

it's what the old dell_internal.md used to be, but with
additional info merged from the old guides that were
removed in the previous revision.

90% of the info on the old pages was fluff, copied and pasted
to all the other pages.
replace them all with a single page. i've already directed the
old pages to the new one, in libreboot.org's httpd

it's a variable now, called err, rather than
a function called err. the variable defines
the name of a function that handles errors.

but in a more diplomatic way, and fsf/fsdg/ryf isn't
even mentioned directly, but their ideology is referenced,
spoken in tongues.

remove all the redundant information, and merge some of it
between the two articles (grub hardening and grub cbfs guides)

a lot of the instructions are really old
make it relevant to the way libreboot currently works
some legacy information has been removed, pertaining to
libreboot 20230625 which is oldstable; 20240612 is the
current stable release, so the 20230625 information no
longer needs to be written here.

the bucts unbrick instructions are not useful, because
libreboot already provides both bootblocks as duplicates.
we only need these guides to be for teardown, then linking
to the SPI flasher guide

i normally use redshift, and the #eee shade looks
fine, but the text is a bit too bright when i turn
off redshift.
ccc looks fine with or without. the dark purple theme
was restored, because the light theme was a bit of an
eye sore, but the shiny bright text on the dark theme
was also an eye strain
the slightly darker shade should be easier on the eyes

it kinda needs to be there. my intention to be at peace
with *those people* is still on. you know the ones. but
there's no way to host this page without revealing that
hostility, which is currently *former* (or rather,
dormant) hostility. rather than censor specific information,
the entire page was deleted as part of the reconciliation
with fsf, referenced in the article itself, but this too was
a mistake.
no, the correct thing to do is *continue to host this page*.
the other hostile pages are not being re-added.
i'll probably delete this page again at some point, and
redirect it to a new history page, that will contain all
of the same substance and *more*, because:
this page was written in a day. it was written from start
to finish *on the same day* of libreboot's 10 year anniversary.
therefore, it's not as long as it could be.
a more complete history is on my TODO. one that also goes
into a lot more technical detail. libreboot has a rich and
vibrant history, yet has so far not documented its own
history well, and the relatively niche nature of libreboot
is that a lot of people don't really get what it's about,
so you won't find a lot of that info online - the history
of the project is entirely in my head.
there are other people who can provide their own accounts,
but i'm the only person that's been here since the beginning.
anyway, i digress.
dubiously happy hacking

the louis rossmann video previously linked is no longer
acceptable for promotion, due to louis rossmann's work
promoting FUTO's "source first" license, which is a
proprietary software license because it restrictions
commercial usage of software released under it.

the removed notes pertain to feature changes that i've since
reversed; seabios-only images provided now, alongside seagrub,
where seabios and grub are both enabled on a given board.
and multiple keymaps now provided again, but only on seagrub.
