Part of why it is hard to take its reputation as as security focused OS seriously.
- irdc 3y agoIn their defence, the OpenBSD developers do put their mon^H^H^Htime where their mouth is and release their work even with dubious features included. How much those features actually matter, instead of how much expert opinion says they matter, can then be judged in the wild. Failed experiments are also a good part of research.
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoWhat can also be judged is ignoring expert advice in favor of rolling their own inferior solutions.

- falserum 3y agoMine (statistically at least; I am a random internet person, who does not contribute to any OS development)
- PrimeMcFly 3y agoExploit developers telling them their mitigations won't do anything, for starters.
