It was talk about a backdoor in OpenBSD's IPsec stack. The software was audited and nothing was found. The person who stepped forward (after being named) claimed on Twitter to have been formerly involved with the FBI and a supposed pro

Can't agree. You should revisit macOS. It sounds like you haven't tried it in, well, long over a decade.

Isn't that an absurd stretch? It's not as if the "embodiment" of one's choice between Linux vs macOS falls entirely upon these mere functions contained in this one app... Additionally, almost everything this $29 app

It depends on what format/decoder support went into your particular build of mpv. It offloads almost all of its capabilities onto ffmpeg and its supporting libraries, which in turn won't necessarily be built with exactly everythin

In my opinion, yes. It's smaller, simpler, snappier, yet has everything and then some under the hood if one really needs this or that function.

My experience is the exact opposite, having to "scrounge" to even get close to a week with Android under similar usage. I have less control with Android over what gets to run in the background and how network access is permitted,

It's not particularly complicated. You boot into the rescue system and from there "dd" the OpenBSD install kernel to the host's boot disk. Reboot and attach to the host's serial console, then follow the installation

This seems unusually complicated. With Hetzner's infra you should be able to just boot the install kernel ("miniroot") and proceed from there with a normal networked installation via their serial console. Same method also w

As a great alternative there are a handful of very cheap Saleae knock-offs using the same series of Cypress/Infineon logic chips, and they work well with e.g. Sigrok.

Wouldn't a good systematic evaluation need (or at least benefit from) a few actual working exploits/PoCs? I keep asking this as a long-time OpenBSD user who is genuinely interested in seeing it done, but so far everyone who has

My first experience with POV-Ray happened around 1994 or 1995 on the Amiga when I found a copy of it on what I recall was a CD that came with an issue of Amiga Format. The raytracer was dreadfully slow on my 50 MHz 68030 compared to Real3D

I was myself once, before switching to AMD, a user of the related trick where one could run a used $35 quad-core Xeon on e.g. a Core 2 mobo by just switching two pins on the CPU's pin grid with a little sticker. Miles better experience
