New #blog post alert!

I muse about research some of my grad students and I did around independently evaluating some #OpenBSD anti-ROP mitigations, and I bid farewell to being an OpenBSD developer.

Вспомнилось сегодня несколько раз, что для #dragonflybsd и, кажется, портировали в #fbsd varsym -- символические ссылки с возможностью использования переменных. Это было бы удобно и в линухах. Но увы.

Three ways to look at the same machine - at the same time: a BIOS VGA console, a 256-color xterm, and a responsive web UI - all connected to the same cell and backup management backend.Which one would you pick?

@DrHyde well that was fun. Not really sure what I did wrong in my initial installation of #dragonflybsd. but trying to install URI would hang. Finally tracked it down to Net::Domain::hostname hanging on gethostbyname().

I had to reboot from the CD to reconfigure the existing OS. Setting the host name again and setting up DHCP. The dhcp was unrelated but since it wasn't starting automatically, I figured that was a good time to fix it.

@mrmasterkeyboard @xinit the #RightToFork is elemental to #FLOSS and necessary for #OpenSource to exist.

As much as I'm not a fan of seemingly abandoned forks of my works, I am not in the position to restrict or ban those.
- And people OFC have their right to make a #fork whenever they want to do so!

We ain't criticizing corporations that maintain outdated inhouse forks out of principle, and I think that #evi isn't a "fork for the sake of forking" but actually does things different and apparenty "irreconcileable" to the mainline Project.
