I don't think there's anything wrong with us. First of all, no one says you should do anything. We're asking kindly because we can, and you can do all range of things from ignoring us completely to donating $1M like WhatsApp

You might one day want to run a startup or a project and then you could just do it on FreeBSD in any way you like, given the permissive license and this is exactly the reason why you need BSD, not only because Netflix, Sony or WhatsApp uses

What you described is not a sysadmin, but a bad sysadmin instead. Also, if you look at the situation 'these days' it's not even a bad sysadmins, it's mostly developers who don't even really know how their computers

You're not supposed to do that so that the mega corps could do that. You're supposed to do that so that _anyone_ could do that and benefit from the open source code that's best suited for running a business, even if your idea

No one, at least not me, is blaming him for trying. But he is to be blamed for sending a poorly written and badly designed patch, unwilling to work on it until it meets the quality of the FreeBSD project and then 'forking' FreeBSD

The funny part is that even amongst top security researchers there doesn't seem to be an agreement over the fact if ASLR is worth anything, as it was proved to be breakable in no time. And it seems like grsecurity code suffers the same

by tachion 9y ago
A lot of these has been already addressed by a security menu in the FreeBSD installer, since settings and/or mitigations for mentioned issues have been possible in FreeBSD but have not been enabled by default due to POLA (project'

Don't do that. HardenedBSD is rather a one man project, who's patches have been reviewed and rejected by FreeBSD developers due to bad quality, poor design and lack of cooperation in bringing them to FreeBSD expected standards. It

Unfortunately, HardenedBSD is nothing more but a PR campaign from a one person who feels rejected due to poor code quality and bad reviews from FreeBSD developers who expect a bit more than just throwing random patches around and saying &#x

I've had to deal with the call-in support twice in last 6 months and each time I was asked for my actual password (no one asked me for any 'telephone password' but I don't have one and even if I would, I wouldn't te

I'm not really surprised, UK banks are absolutely terrible in terms of their product and even worse in supporting clients having valid points. Another example would be MetroBank that recently changed password prompt to a masked passwor

Can't agree more. This was also what made me to buy my first Mac: the fact I have a natively supported terminal (that's blazingly fast), with ssh client (and server too, whenever I need it), with shell that's not some kind of

Proofs of what? My story? Don't feel like I need to provide any. Proofs again Apple in lawsuit you're suggesting? I'm not an American, so suing everyone for everything is not really in my custom ;) Rather than them paying me

If it's not there, you can always make it be, like I did in past with very similar issue (described in another comment). Quite few people disable/change OS wide keyboards shortcuts ;)

No you don't, at least not from Apple, as it was the case when I reported a very similar issue few years ago. ;)

by tachion 9y ago
Oh, wow - I've reported this problem along with na example exploit to Apple about 6-7 years ago. Never got any recognition for it, but It was fixed some time after that. It's quite sad to see old bugs getting new lives like that.

Try and grab yourself a combo update file and apply it to your system.

"Well" is the keyword here. They don't, far too often "good enough if it doesn't crash the machine on start" is a norm in companies of all sizes when writing applications code and infrastructure code.

These systems should be handled and operated by dedicated people (administrators/ops/devops/pick your religion) who care enough to know how to use the tools they work with. ;)

There's an issue with that concept, where the iOS for like 2 or 3 major versions now doesn't show properly artists and album art correctly for a lot of people, including myself. Without that fixed, the workflow and user experience
