I agree some OpenBSD security mitigations are dubious, but if I am forced to choose between Linux (too little) and OpenBSD (too much), it seems to me OpenBSD is definitely preferrable. (Of course, the best is to implement only effective ones.) Do you disagree?
- zokula 6y agoOpenBSD is mostly security snake oil. It's just a tool for masturbating monkeys.
- woodruffw 6y agoI think that Linux is a security mess in its own ways. That being said, I think Linux’s guts get far more attention than OpenBSD’s do, and that the (fewer) mitigations that Linux chooses to implement are much better supported by both information on real-world attacks and by the literature. Given that, I have a slight preference for Linux. But that shouldn’t be taken as praise.
