One of the most things I love of OpenBSD is the pragmatic decisions the developers make.

macOS blocked Kernel Extensions for security reasons.
You cannot load any kext at runtime unless you boot in Recovery mode and disable this restriction.

But still I think the OpenBSD approach to delete the entire LKM support was a smarter move than running a LKM-aware kernel and then blocking the loading of kexts at runtime.

I will build a great cloud, and nobody builds clouds better than me, believe me. And I will built it very inexpensively. I will build a great great cloud with multiple regions, and I will have customers pay for that cloud! Mark my words!

I'm looking forward to get my Dell PowerEdge T610 tower server delivered.

Now, I just need to buy 12x16GB ECC RAM banks and 4TBx8 HDDs.

While I think that the cloud providers are pushing a toxic behavior where there is no contribution to the products they’re selling as a “managed service”, I think Redis is using this situation as a excuse to change their license to a proprietary one.

If you are choosing to release your software with a permissive license, like the BSD, you are telling that is fine for you that your software can be used even in a third party proprietary solution.
Whining that someone ACTUALLY did that and made profits greater than yours is just hypocritical.

A very interesting article from @eb blog about the history of the XZ vulnerability that these days everyone is talking about.

Are you still asking yourself why some people like me think that #kubernetes is a mess?

Well, look at the picture. I think it explains that quite well.

Thank you for all your work guys! Really!
