My #HardenedBSD VM now has #retpoline applied to every application and shared library in world and the kernel, including every kernel module!

#FreeBSD #infosec #Meltdown #Spectre

Remember that time ISC spent years developing a rewrite of BIND as BIND 10 and then everyone was like "hell no, this is bad and we don't want Python as a dependency either" and so they just gave up and cancelled BIND 10?

Need ideas for a new years resolution? Feel free to pick one.

1. Start using a password manager (keepassxc)

2. Start using 2 factor authentication

3. Try out a #BSD on your laptop/desktop/server (#OpenBSD)

4. Contribute to a software project you like (ie. port a game to #OpenBSD, donate $$, help with the docs)

5. Self host your email
