Working on porting #SafeStack to arm64 on #HardenedBSD. I'm getting closer and closer.

"systemd and Where We Want to Take the Basic Linux Userspace in 2016"

"Places we're NOT taking it include "Interoperability City," "Lake Reliability," and "The People's Republic of Sanity"."

@Gargron @KitRedgrave
Yes, systemd has democratized a whole bunch of good practices that some/many (?) people were previously ignoring.

OTOH, it has terrible design, with a sprawling mass of new deamons that are functionally-worse rewrites of existing stuff (networking, DNS resolution, NTP, ...) and tightly coupled to the init+service-manger.

Even the latter has pretty crucial features missing: https://vulpine.club/@kellerfuchs/892595

Tomorrow, I'll be MFC'ing all the #StackClash fixes from #HardenedBSD 12-CURRENT to 11-STABLE. I'll also write up a blog post about how we've decided to mitigate it.

OH: "BSD is that marvel of engineering that you aspire to marry. Linux is that $10 hooker that you got with because you were desperate for something fast and easy."

@natecull in the cloud, it works like this:

1. i tell the service provider to delete my data.

2. the service provider says that it has deleted my data.

3. the service provider retains my data anyway.

@aral in a spirit of cross #os cooperation: there is an excellent #FreeBSD port that might inspire the package builders:

It seems people are custom making and donating things to auction off at the #BSDCan closing ceremony. The proceeds go to the Ottawa Mission. Really amazing and inspiring.

Guess I should use the format to let you click my new profile. Doh!

@Strog

I've setup my own instance to learn more about how this all works. I'm going to switch over to the new account and stop using this one.

can't believe they called it "the iliad" and not "troy story"

There is not sudo by default in OpenBSD. Our main user machine is now no longer Linux and is OpenBSD. I'm not installing sudo on the machine. Mainly because of all the students who assume they can use sudo on *my* server.

So one of my faculty members and I have come up with the idea of what we now call "sassy sudo". Sudo on the new server will be a wrapper around fortune pulling from a sudo database.

"sduo: command not found"
"sudo: removing user account"
etc.
