OK, these #Protectli systems are getting on my nerves. Can anyone suggest a reason why they would not cold boot into #OpenBSD unless the serial console cable is connected *and* live (i.e. I actually connect both ends of the cable)? They reboot fine, but cold boot hangs until I connect a serial cable. The Protectli runs Coreboot and is set to use the serial console.

Awesome news for #opensource #networking professionals and fans: #Protectli now offers Vaults with #OpenWrt pre‑installed! This is exactly why open‑source firmware matters. Long‑term updates, transparent security fixes, no forced obsolescence, and full control over your device. Proprietary routers age out fast. OpenWrt‑based devices stay useful for years. https://protectli.com/news/openwrt-preinstalled-on-protectli-vaults/ #security #freesoftware
