@ltning @mwl I believe this one included a suggested patch that was not generated by an LLM, that also differs from what I committed.
@ltning @mwl To be explicit, the submission probably included a suggested fix, which may be identical to what I committed, because it's trivial and consistent with the way we normally initialize stack variables and missed in the reported instance. I'll take a look.
@ltning @mwl Exactly. Claiming that FreeBSD is slop because I wrote a patch for an issue that an LLM found is ridiculous.
@ltning @mwl I am the author of one of the commits they claim is LLM-generated; I'm sure nobody is seriously suggesting we wouldn't fix a reported security vulnerability because an LLM was used to help find it.
@ltning @mwl That's BS. I opened an issue in that repo as the links they offer as evidence are either incorrect or misleading.

Sylve is now in the FreeBSD ports tree!

You can install it with `pkg install sylve`, or build it from ports: `cd /usr/ports/sysutils/sylve && make install clean`

Really happy to see this land; thanks to @dch for all his help porting this! 🙌

I just realized an article one of our users wrote (and I reposted) https://iptechnics.com/blogs/from-proxmox-to-freebsd-and-sylve-in-our-office-lab, just hit the frontpage on hackernews!

So happy to see the new influx of users to https://sylve.io ! We are so, so back folks. 2026 is the year of vanilla FreeBSD in the homelab scene!

Do I know anyone in Kitchener-Waterloo with access to an ESD gun?
