FreeBSD audio has been amazing for as long as I've used it. You can also set these sysctl's: hw.snd.latency_profile=0 hw.snd.latency=3 And then in your OSS code, use this ioctl: int cooked = 0; ioctl(fd, SND

I was definitely thinking, "why not use Curve25519 for a 256-bit key if fitting the response into one packet is so important?" It seems there's some worry about quantum computers being able to break ECC with less qubits than

Is there any word or chance on FreeBSD moving to LibreSSL in base? And perhaps more importantly, with key pre-compiled packages such as nginx? I would be extremely appreciative of any effort that would allow me to use that in place of Ope

Nice! I'm very much in favor of this change. I develop my webserver locally, and it has many subdomains. So I have "www.localhost", "files.localhost", "doc.localhost", etc. I have to add each subdomain to

Best recourse would be a credit card chargeback. If Paypal, probably a writeoff. The trickier part is, it's unknown whether StartCom will backdate more certificates, triggering Mozilla to block them entirely. That could happen well aft

Wow, this would be devastating if they actually went through with revoking their root certificate. StartCom is (well, was ) the only competition to Let's Encrypt in the free certificate space. It is far and away the cheapest direct

I hate to say it, but if you need the functionality that Let's Encrypt won't offer (wildcard certificates, longer validity lengths, not wanting/needing to run certbot, code signing, etc) ... your best bet is to look for the S
