It's only been a few weeks since we last talked about Librem-EC 
<https://puri.sm/posts/update-on-librem-ec-1-12/>, but here we are

headset jack 
<https://puri.sm/posts/meet-my-friend-jack/?mtm_campaign=technical_write_up&mtm_source=organic&mtm_medium=newsletter&mtm_content=nl-meet-my-friend-jack>,

    Turn Your Mini Into a Server

Our latest coreboot/SeaBIOS and PureBoot releases bring new firmware 
configurations for the Librem Mini v1 and v2! Many users use the Librem 
Mini as a headless server and have asked for firmware that would boot up 
automatically when powered, like an appliance.

Once enabled, the setting persists as long as the RTC battery is plugged 
in. The setting is in the EC's battery-backed RAM, and the new BIOS 
configurations enable this setting during boot. Go to this link
