FreeBSD – A Lesson in Poor Defaults
- bell-cot 6mo agoA regular item over the past decade; the 91 comments from 2022 would be the most current - https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mrsk.me https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=mrsk.me
- jruohonen 6mo ago> A regular item over the past decade Oh, I didn't know, but now I wonder why HN's duplicate detector didn't work? From the looks of it, also most of the past postings were 1:1 duplicates.
- lifthrasiir 6mo agoHN allows exact duplicates once months (I think) have passed since the last posting, so that a new thread can be established as needed.
- grahamjperrin 6mo agoThat's unfortunate. jruohonen the Bonnie Tyler face (GIF) is for the linked item, not at you :-)
- emaste 6mo agoThe comment I left on a Reddit thread four years ago still applies: > This link gets shared around every now and then, and my response is always the same: there is some useful insight, but there's also information that's so outdated it provides no value, outright misinformation, and self-contradiction. Some of the technical points are fair, and should be and are being addressed. But the commentary is often laughably wrong. The document seems more focused on advancing an agenda than a good-faith effort at improving security in FreeBSD. If anyone is actually interested in discussing mitigations and improved security posture on FreeBSD I'd suggest starting a thread on one of the mailing lists, but I'll also keep an eye out for feedback here and on the Fediverse.

How many more times? https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcXhvaXZydG41NnR3aG9vbmE4ZWFiOGlkemdldnZiNHg5czN1aHcweSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/2AREKecdMwj2q19SUN/giphy.gif https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExcXhvaXZydG...
