I love the way we've architected HardenedBSD's features.

I just set up GitLab in a jail. GitLab causes ruby23 to mprotect(RW -> RX), which is a violation of the strict default W^X policy in HardenedBSD.

So, I set up secadm in the jail to disable mprotect restrictions just for ruby23 in the jail. GitLab is happy again.

ruby23 in the host is still fully restricted.

This is exactly how exploit mitigations should be developed. We've done a spectacular job in #HardenedBSD.

Sometimes a passphrase-less ssh key for committing to a subversion repository is just what you need.

in the late 90s, i used a #hypercard stack to maintain a website. recently the domain name became available again, so i bought it and reuploaded the old site.

the whole thing is static HTML, generated with data i kept in hypercard. i haven't changed any of the html/css since then so it looks especially bad now, heh

anyway it's here if you're curious: http://brunchline.org/ complete with splash screen, lol

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.
