Just upgraded my #FreeBSD jail from 1.5 rc2 to 1.5. Smooth as can be and right back up. :^)

gTLDs were a mistake

CIA malware specifically targeting #FreeBSD: https://wikileaks.org/vault7/document/Aeris-UsersGuide/Aeris-UsersGuide.pdf

Even though it's an old document, I'm sure that the CIA is likely still targeting FreeBSD.

@Strog @lattera I've been using multiple layers of ROT13 for a while, but I've had interoperability issues with odd-numbered ROT13, and I'm worried about attacks when the number of layers is a power of 2.

Should I use 6 layers of ROT13?

Also, what's the recommended way to deal with binary data?
Currently, I base64 it, then 6 × ROT13, then de-base64 it.

It's a crime

#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.
