Things I like about FreeBSD:
"You can tune a file system, but you cannot tune a fish."
is still listed as a bug in the tunefs man page on FreeBSD 14.3
I first saw it more that 30 years ago on SunOS that was BSD based at the time.
Software dependencies are subject to Brandolini's law (a.k.a the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle), which states:
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it."
However, I also find that in any software project, the amount of effort needed to get rid of an external dependency is an order of magnitude bigger than it took to add it.
Conclusion: most software is largely made of bullshit.
As an old fart in #xdev, I get asked often, mostly by young coworkers, how to get into binary exploitation in 2025. I looked around, and here’s my recommendation:
#pwncollege is a huge collection of free #lectures and practical #challenges maintained by a team of #hackers at the Arizona State University. Check it out!
