The #CVE count of the #Linux #kernel is not looking good these days compared to any other #OS is it. Maybe time to switch to #FreeBSD or some other system which doesn't claim to find hundreds of significant vulnerabilities every day

@mort Are you listening to yourself? The system which reports fewer security issues is more secure? Really? Then you should switch to #OpenBSD, because they hide their security errors best!

I'm as intrigued by #Guix as I was by #NixOS, but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.

Even #OpenBSD has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.

#AtomicFedora, #UniversalBlue and #OpenSUSE #Aeon all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.

And traditional #Debian is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.

@brokenix @ramin_hal9001
imagine someone reading this thread then thinking that #doas and doas on its native #openbsd had had these problems, rather than the linux port

(and possibly netbsd, sorry netbsd)

OMG, I love . Never seen a major update on a [Li|U]n[u|i]x OS going through so smooth. And the sysmerge command that walks you through every config file change and let's you diff/merge/install them, is the perfect icing on the cake. 🍰

Do have very good hardware support? I want to buy Acer laptop and install OpenBSD on it.

Today, I revamped my blog theme ( https://it-notes.dragas.net ) and moved it to @OpenBSDAms VPS, powered by httpd.
BunnyNet stands as the CDN upfront, can we still consider it hosted on OpenBSD? 🤔

#Microsoft just gave me the push I needed to wipe that #windows10 partition that I almost never boot into anyway. Being an #openbsd user that wants to get into #android app development, I am considering #voidlinux . What do you think fedi, any thoughts on the best option for me?

Holy smokes does this website bring Firefox on #OpenBSD to its knees. Even two Xeons and Radeon Pro w5700 can't carry this.

If you ever wanted to see how a failing NVME SSD underneath #OpenBSD 's softraid crypto layer looks like, here you.

From one moment to another, the system was unusable due to the sheer amount of softraid failures. I cannot boot beyond single user mode because the partitions cannot be marked as clean.

I had proper backup, so reinstalling on another SSD wasn't a problem. I could mount the dirty partitions r/o and so transfer the diff over as well.

Video of OpenBSD in single user mode. White font on black screen with kernel output in blue. It shows several attempts to fsck(8) different partitions and marking them as clean fails every time due to I/O errors reported by the kernel

Friends, is the fact that the Humble bundle that has my "The Book of PF" along with a number of other good titles, the "Dive into DevOps" bundle https://www.humblebundle.com/books/dive-into-dev-ops-no-starch-books has sold more than 8,000 bundles and made more than CAD27,000 for the charity a cause for celebration or should I hold off until we see rounder numbers?

Anyway the bundle runs until June 10th 2024, so get your clicks and cards ready!
