So I tried flashing the libreboot rom image from yesterday and that failed because the SPI flash on this machine is actually 16MB! which makes sense how it has a linux ROM inside it too... Anyway this means I need to compile coreboot myself (or do some [ifdtool hacks](https://www.coreboot.org/Board:lenovo/x220)) I considered setting this up properly on a different machine, but... I think I'll pass on that for now. At some future point I want to look into nix (because it's Cool right now) as it seems like it would be useful for setting up little development environments without polluting my entire system with whatever GMP / boost /bison packages that the thing I'm working on needs. But that way leads to sharks  I want to read through [this blogpost](https://garcia.casa/blog/installing-coreboot-on-a-thinkpad-x220) though to see if it's a useful guide. Turned out it was good, and somewhat recent too (2021)
