Those lowest common denominator systems tend to find bugs not present elsewhere.
And stating that openbsd looks like performance art and security theater seems to indicate you haven't looked at what openbsd has done for security.
- sitkack 9y agoOpenBSD can be security theater and still do great things. But at some point sticking to an 90s Unix/C aesthetic looks deeply anachronistic. Yes, bugs are found at boundaries and interfaces, large or small. Something has to be different for the output to be different. If someone writes a bug proof TLS implementation while at the bottom of the pool wearing SCUBA gear, it is still security theater.
