TPM is a dedicated chip or firmware enabling hardware-level security, housing encryption keys, certificates, passwords, and sensitive data, "and shielding them from unauthorized access," Microsoft senior product manager Steven Hosking wrote last month, declaring TPM 2.0 to be "a non-negotiable standard for the future of Windows."

What? I use Firefox and git to bworse, commend and post issues on open source tools hosted on github.

Just tell me you dislike github (understandable) but not that "those hosted on github" are not open source tools... That depends on the license they are following, not the tools they are using.

And by the way git is open source as well as the browser you need to access github.

I think you are getting way too far.

Said so, I host all my open source code on my private instance of forgejo, which is way more open source than github, but I don't allow registration (its my private instance, after all) so where do you put me at?

Just to remember that even the GPL v3 doesn't say you must provide support or a ticketing system.
