A good developer uses the best tools available, because she/he knows the value of using them.

Replying with a CVE is like icing on the cake. :) It really shows that OpenBSD devs take security seriously. Funny timing, I was just reading Absolute OpenBSD.

You mean the article or the feature? The article is dated by 22/11/2014. The feature may have been added a few months/years ago, but the point still stands about systemd showing signs of feature creep. Note also the DNS resol

Systemd is starting to show the signs of feature creep which IMHO is good. Failing early means the ship can be turned around if there's enough will, or at least (newer) replacements of systemd(in case it goes really off the rails) will

Totally agree. It's mind blowing to realize that because of the init system we have on our system we are now vulnerable to DNS poisoning. Do one thing and do it well.

Others working on systemd shims out of necessity is a sign, IMHO, that systemd is in reality a hard dependency in the near future (and developers trying to free from that dependency). I don't say systemd is not useful, GNOME using it s

TBH, I currently feel the same way because of the opt-out, not opt-in situation. On one machine running Debian Sid I just found myself running systemd after an dist-upgrade..blowing my mind considering that I didn't choose Arch in the

They're good points, but from the philosophical point The Unix Way , systemd leaves some things to desire. Is there a modern Unix way? I don't see a lot of exploring in this area/side, but I see a lot of this is the way i

At least one of each side of the debate. Preferable there should be two, one on each side which implements the good/novel ideas and others where aggressive experimentation takes part.

I see the whole pro/anti systemd as a philosophical debate. Basically each part is arguing where the complexity should be in the system and how dense it should be distributed. I think we need two competing init systems to really know

Maybe today they're not incriminating, but tomorrow they will be. Better safe than sorry, but you still want to live a "fairly normal" life.

You're supposed to check the signature with the key you got "out of band". That means good security practice. Even if you get the key from a SSL/TLS enabled site, you can't guarantee it's the right one, CAs can

Even if I didn't knew from the beginning that someone will steal a laptop from the coffee shop, the moment I saw the MacBook left alone I probably was thinking "I hope you have it locked, or it will get stolen...someday". OT:

I would like to take part of such kind of interview, not necessarily to take the job, but to experience an honest and objective evaluation from an experienced developer. Being a student and not actively looking for a job it's hard for

I definitely agree. I choose to study CS in English because of this. CS is made to be taught in English. I have a friend who was struggling in English and when she applied for a job the interviewer didn't even asked how her English was

If you use public-key it only shows the ip. I don't know if you use password, 2-factor auth or Kerberos it shows any additional information. I would guess that if you enable debugging it will show some identifiable information, I never

I still think that it's a good idea to change the default port for sshd, even if you don't let root to login and use public key auth and fail2ban. Why? Because this "obscurity" helps keeping false possitives to a reasona

I, personally, like that HN is talking more about politics. We have to build our technology with politics in mind. Accompany technology with good politics(in the meaning of ethics and society and communities) and use(where's possible)

I don't feel safe at all. The same way goverments could ask Microsoft to have a builtin backdoor for Windows, they could ask for a signed rootkit.

It's also because mostly germans value quality over quantity. They don't demand very high margins. They demand very high quality which ultimately brings high margins. Mostly their targets are about quality, not throughput.
