Take a breath. Read it again. If you still don't understand something, think about what it is you don't understand, then state your issue clearly so I can help you.

On most servers, programs are not doing drastically new things. That really isn't the issue you make it out to be. The developer applying restrictions ahead of time can't, by nature, mitigate the types of bugs that things like SEL

No. It means if you look at any number of the security vulnerabilities that affected OpenBSD base system that they disclosed, or any number of bugs in third party software they haven't audieted, out of the vulns that allow root and

I think that is a flawed way of looking at it. Stuff like SELinux assumes the system administrator or software can't be trusted, and provides ways to protect against future attacks while enforcing only the minimal access needed. It isn

Security is more than just auditing code to remove bugs - it's also being prepared for worst case scenarios for bugs that inevitably exist but have not yet been found. For a security focused OS, OpenBSD is terrible in this regard. Pled

This was always nonsense. So is "You're the product, not the consumer". Doesn't stop people from believing in it with their whole heart and mocking anyone that dare suggest different.

I know what you are referring to, iirc it's very out of date now. OpenBSD focuses on auditing to try and remove bugs. This is great. But it also makes sense to prepare for bugs as an eventually since you might not have found them to au

Stuff like KUBSAN, KASAN, KMSAN, KCSAN which detect problems at runtime. There isn't anything even close in other OSs. Something like VeriExec would be nice as well. And while NetBSD doesn't have it either, some type of MAC or RBA

I don't see much point in OBSD to be honest. Most of the claims to security are bogus (auditing is great, but it's not a reason to omit actual security features). NetBSD has honestly seen much more interesting to me, cleaner tight

This is nice. This is why I like to use minimal distros like Alpine or Void, so I know where everything is on my system and have some control over it.

It had to have been the apps that were running on Android. It's nothing to do with the hardware. I used to have my pixels, back from 2012, regularly at less than 10%, and would still last overnight as you describe. If a pixel not runni

They've never been that bad in my experience. My guess is you were using something preinstalled with a ton of battery leeching crap. Android itself doesn't do that, but much like buying a PC, it's hard to stop manufacturers l

Compare it to a Pixel or stock firmware and see if that's true. Even if it is, it's such a huge compromise to use an Apple device given the nannying and lack of features, it isn't worth it.

As a game developer I can see how you would be tied. I'm pretty lucky in that my gaming sticks to a few specific games for multiplayer (GTA online, counter-strike, sometimes red alert 2, nrs games) an a few specific AAA titles I want t

I'm talking about when there is no noticeable difference in experience, except in peoples minds. I'm obviously not denying there are times when there would be objective improvements, that just isn't what I was referring to.

Sure, internet matters. Equipment matters less these days. All I'm saying though, is if you're a crappy player, it's not because of your equipment, and buying better equipment won't make you a better player.
