Do you have examples of what in OpenBSD you found "utterly complicated to setup and use"? I've been using for several years now because of how devoid of complexity it is and becaus…

> First off: Fair Use does not exist. It is an assumption, not a defined situation or law. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Copyright_Act_of_1976#%C2%A7_... Further recommended readi…

That's in Netflix's custom stack that they contributed to freebsd, and not used by default.

Where? I can't see discussion about this submission at that link.

Removes the need to add a separate include for namespacing, ie. no pledge.h header needed. Makes the calls shorter and easier to read. Consider: if (pledge("stdio rpath tmppath pro…

It's also pretty trivial to run the program. Maybe it's different in other projects, but I'm pretty sure in OpenBSD you're encouraged to actually test the code, not just ship it be…

Nice backpedaling.

Implementing KPTI didn't involve any of what you just said.

An "actual vulnerability" has been found. It's amazing that even after the lazy FPU fiasco, people think OpenBSD did this on a complete whim.

OpenBSD and DragonFly had their meltdown mitigations done in a couple of weeks from when it was publicly disclosed. If it's good enough for projects developed by handfuls of volunt…

It's a sysctl that can be toggled. If you want hyperthreading and don't care about the security concerns, you can turn it back on. The commit message specifically mentions that thi…

Copperhead is based in Canada but you appear to be citing US law.

I guess Richard Stallman violated the "spirit of the GPL" when he made MicroGnuEmacs change their name.

Brainy isn't open source or publicly available, you can click on the project names in the list to see its scan results.

Indeed, surely Mac OS includes its own man pages? man 2 mprotect, man 2 unlink

> I would trust wordpress to keep their signing keys safe. What signing keys? Wordpress's automatic updates aren't signed, so your trust is horrendously misplaced. Someone already …

If you think a preimage attack against MD5 is "trivial" you should demonstrate it. People would be very interested in this because no one has managed to do it yet. Creating two fil…

There have been no practical demonstrations of colliding the MD5 of an arbitrary file (ie. pre-image attack), only situations where two files are created specifically with the inte…

OpenBSD's base ships the most recent LLVM and Clang (5.01), but there's no LLDB yet and gdb is outdated (6.3, the last GPLv2 version). He would have had a much better time using C9…

For starters, its own libc and a proper filesystem (the author wrote their own ext2 implementation).

There's a lot of people install memcached without realising it listens on all addresses by default. If you install it and run it via whatever system your OS/distro uses, you'd neve…

In what country is it acceptable to not treat others with basic courtesy and respect? Which is really all the list is asking for.

Given that there's groups of people railing against being told not to do the things on this list, yes, apparently.

Performance is only an issue if your disk can write faster than your CPU can hash. hammer2 changed its hash a couple of years ago because this started happening with newer NVMe dri…

Actual lawyers have also read both licenses and came to the conclusion that they are incompatible: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2016/feb/25/zfs-and-linux/ The main debate over th…
