It would be nice if you provided sources when making such harsh accusations.

- andoriyu 7y agoWhole HardenedBSD single man PR campaign started here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D473 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D473 Author thought that having ASLR is absolutely must (hint: it's not[1].) HardenedBSD is poorly reviewed ASLR implementation by a person who didn't take criticism well + recommended new defaults from subj. Later hBSD added neat things like different update mechanism (hint: it's the same minus delta patches), retpoline enabled by default a little earlier than FreeBSD and probably still haven't disabled it. It's a fact that FreeBSD had poor defaults for ages and only recently (last couple of years) started cleaning things up. That said I never seen FreeBSD user running default system settings. Many not even running GENERIC kernel, me included. I think FreeBSD has a lot of issues, but 90% are political bullshit.

- tachion 7y agoI'm not making any accusations, I'm merely stating facts. Those are easily reachable on FreeBSD reviews portal, simply search for Shawn's patches.
