    Absolutely. My daily driver on all my machines. My homelab started with FreeBSD on all machines with liberal use of jails. Now it is fully OpenBSD and only the file server is runni…

    Difference is that capsicum is after the fact and mostly about file descriptors. You need to open them in advance and _then_ call capsicum. But it does nothing about syscalls. Caps…
