#OpenJDK 8 on #HardenedBSD will now be compiled as a Position-Independent Executable (PIE).

I'd like to thank #FreeBSD for supporting the #RPI3. Having such a physically portable system has been a tremendous help with some of my projects. I wouldn't have been able to do those projects without the selfless dedication of the FreeBSD community.

Has anyone tried to get A #CVE for #SystemD? I mean, not for a vulnerability in SystemD, but for SystemD itself.

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.
