Geht yourself a real OS. In OpenBSD the bootloader takes care oft this. Thats good enough to geht random data right wenn the kernel starts, and by the time init runs it's gathered way more entropie.

It is what it is, trying to define it makes for a good bonfire story but that's about it. Today there are only "Unix-like" and UNIX certified systems left. And I bet it wouldn't be too hard to certify MS Windows with SFU

OpenBSD uses it from the beginning. The portable Version should have some testing on it as well. Yes, it's production ready. as always YMMV.

I feel like those benchmarks should be redone with modern hardware (x86_64) and a modern microkernel (minix 3.3). CPU cycles are cheap this days, yet cache misses are even more expensive (need to touch main memory? please wait 300 cycles).

Well, in german there is one word describing how to calculate something like this: "Leidensdruckanalyse". It's a dark word, because it basically means: Why give people drugs for $13.50 if the disease is horrible enough that t

If you just measure in $/sq ft then sure. It's about the total cost beeing affordable, an running costs beeing as low as possible. Also this started out as a DIY movement, but now that professional builders are involved, prices go

So you don't lock your front door, because you could lose the key? Don't use passwords because you could forget them? Better don't do backups at all, because a restore will most likely fail anyways. What's next?

Then learn to use make (Makefile) and how to write a ./configure script, or better yet learn to use autotools. Oh you don't want to write all your code by yourself, so better use some external libraries. For that you better unders

> application developers may prefer to implement a DRBG using /dev/random as a conditioned seed No. Doing random in userland is just wrong. If your program has access to /dev/urandom, use it. If not, use arc4random().

Just linking libclang.so (newest svn version) takes over 8GB of memory. How much more you ask? Well we will find out when i got more ram. So i don't see that compiler becoming a gcc replacement in OpenBSD anytime soon.

Big changes (mostly) need to be split into small and easy to review patches. There are almost no commits without at least one OK from another main developer.

Branching/merging in DVCS is only easy if there are no merge conflicts. Checking in code to the VCS that makes the tree NOT build will get you screamed at (at least within the OpenBSD project). This requires proper planning for big cha
