And there lies the difference: "a number of packages" for Ubuntu/Debian, all packages and base software on OpenBSD.

The key word is "by default". I have no idea whether the Linux kernel that each distro ships enforced W^X. For userland, the effort is undergoing. For instance, I recently packaged a C application for Debian. Then, by sheer luck I

First of all, congratulations on launching ! This looks interesting and I will be sure to check it out when I get the chance. I see from the examples on the site that it's IPv4 everywhre. Is there IPv6 support ? If not, is it on the ro

Does it cost more to sell in Europe than the US ? On the US site, the price displayed in 399USD. For countries that use the euro, it's selling for 399EUR. That's 447.16USD. If I was looking for a new phone and considered this one,

I've linked to this before, but AFAIK it's still relevant as the gotchas regarding signals haven't changed. Slides from a talk titled "Signal Handlers" from OpenBSD developer Henning Brauer : http://www.o

I still prefer sudo to PolKit. The syntax used in the sudo configuration file is quite error prone (which is why it is recommended to use visudo, as a way to not lock yourself out due to an invalid configuration), I still prefer that to Pol

NoScript blocks all JS by default. At least, that's what it does on my browser. The only pages that load JS here are the ones I have explicitely added to the whitelist. The rest gets no JS (or Flash or Java for that matter), unless I a

Just one nit about "SysV was nice and easy because it was just a shell script and we loved that". The design behind SysV init was nice and easy and we loved that (i.e.: init is started by the kernel, it starts the scripts that bri

Considering the infrastructure Facebook is running, it's really not IMHO.

by marios 10y ago
Not the way I'd do it, since you can easily miss on some new domain that belongs to facebook (or perhaps some server that does not look like it belongs to facebook in the first place, but it is sitting in their assigned subnets). If yo

Not a map per se, but I find bxr.su is a great resource to browse *BSD source code. OpenBSD is quite close to its' 4.4BSD roots, so "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" book should still be pretty a

I wasn't aware WebRTC used SCTP. Good to know!
73.
by marios 11y ago
SCTP tries to be the best of the two, and as such it feels "overengineered". But besides that, the main problem I see is that you can't communicate with arbitrary hosts. There is a SCTP implementation in the Linux kernel, bes

Are you looking for a bootable iso to have a live system to play with, or just prepare the install media ? If it's for a live system, I'd recommend setting up a VM on your current host, and do the install in there. For the install

Thinkpads are generally well supported. UbuntuBSD is a very new project and it probably lacks some polish that you will find on other BSDs. I've used both FreeBSD and OpenBSD and for me the split really depends on what you're afte

OpenBSD man pages and FAQ are really good too. LLVM is not in the base install, but you can install clang from ports and build a program if you need to. I agree with pledge() and arc4random(). They are both ridiculously easy to use. FreeBSD

There's nothing about NAT that makes it IPv4 specific. In fact, it implemented in netfilter (Linux)/PF (OpenBSD). For IPv6, there's also NPT (Network Prefix Translation), though I'm not sure how widespread it is. Now, th

OpenBSD has both binary packages and ports. Actually, the packages are built from ports, so if you want to customize a package, you checkout the ports tree, adjust the Makefile, add patches or whatever it is you need, and then you get a nic

What Theo (and other OpenBSD developers) have been saying all these years is that it's impossible to /not/ make mistakes, which is why sane design and exploit mitigations are important. Mad ? Maybe, I wouldn't know. On t

Do you have a SSD drive ? It's also faster to scan and find many big files, rather than a lot of small files even if it totals the same size. It's also incredibly fast if you are attempting to scan a folder you don't have acc

The short answer is: not much. Basically change a global variable declared as volatile sig_atomic_t. You can find more information in this presentation [1] (from 2004!). [1]: http://www.openbsd.org/papers/opencon04&#x2F

From what I read on the ntpsec website, it's essentially a clean up of the ntp codebase as the latter has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. OpenBSD developed OpenNTPD precisely because of the state of the ntp codebase. Why not

It removes a line from the known_host file. When spinning up a new VM/container or reaching a machine that has an IP/hostname you've used before (happens a lot in dev environments/NATed networks), you'll get a warni

It is possible to install OpenBSD on vultr.com by using the custom ISO procedure. I got one last month, and it works great. You can also try using the SSDVPS coupon code to gain $20 of credit (it worked last month, but I can't seem to

IPv6 is not enabled by default. It is compiled in the kernel, but interfaces don't get an IPv6 link-local address if you don't explicitely say so. When you enable IPv6, you get a link-local address, send router solicitations and p

Like other OpenBSD projects, it is developped against the OpenBSD tree and the 'portability goo' is added later on. It is the same case with libressl. There is GitHub repository: https://github.com/libressl-portabl
