Actually their stated reason for making the site is that they don’t like the politics of openbsd devs
> Because the OpenBSD community is notorious for not being nice and welcoming:
- logicprog 3y agoThat's not their reason for believing that obsd isn't as secure as claimed or that their development practices are bad, however, that's just their reason for not directly coming to the obsd developers with the issues instead of just making the problems public for other people to make their own choice about. And it isn't about the politics of the obsd developers, as I would have thought that website would have made abundantly clear, it's about the fact that the obsd developers are extremely prideful and unwilling to listen to other people's input and have crank-like is used concerning security according to most security professionals, so it would simply be unproductive to come to them with these issues. So your attempt to insinuate that this website is purely dunking on obsd because their community is insufficiently inclusive or progressive or whatever and has no actual technical merit to it is simply wrong and misleading.
- whiterknight 3y ago> however, that's just their reason for not directly coming to the obsd developers In other words they intend to hurt the reputation of people they don’t like rather than fix problems. They literally said, the website would not exist but for spite. > obsd developers are extremely prideful and unwilling to listen to other people's input That describes these sideline critics well. If you show the devs a vulnerability you don’t think they will fix it? > has no actual technical merit Well that’s ok because I’m talking about a social problem.
