We need more open hardware with less proprietary crap and
nonobvious backdoors (IPMI, Intel AMT, UEFI, etc).

So if you're buying hardware for your Tor node, look
into coreboot support first http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards

Eventually, we will have completely open hardware we can trust. 
But that day is not here yet. Meanwhile, let's minimize the amount
of evil in the system.
