- chicom_malware 2y agoOpenBSD is thoughtfully designed because it is one of the best examples of "design by dictator" (Theo) - and a small core team - as opposed to design by committee like every other OS out there. Look me in the eye and tell me 90% of changes and unnecessary features in macOS aren't there because some team needs to justify their existence.
- arp242 2y agoI assume you meant to write "disrespectful"?
- i80and 2y agoWhile much of this document is openly disdainful, there are areas like the malloc implementation[1] and features like the atexit hardening[2] where OpenBSD is unambiguously excellent, and it says as much, noting that the latter is a "pretty cool mitigation". I used to do some OpenBSD ports work, and even got a tiny patch into the base system. I love OpenBSD! I don't have an axe to grind here! But it is not above reproach, and I think this site is overall harsh but fair.
