@0x00 @seven I'm still waiting for an OpenBSD-based phone. Of course I doubt this will ever happen.

@0x00 @seven Security? built-in pf? However the baseband drivers are closed blobs so it'd never happen.

@0x00 @seven Agreed, but these days you want some kind of functionality on your phone.I don't know if I could go back to a dumb phone.

@tek @seven I agree (on Java needing to go away) and feel similarly about Ruby.

@0x00 @seven OpenBSD "much more" vulnerable than a Linux server with the same web server and SELinux. I disagree.OpenBSD has security features Linux just doesn't have and they continue to improve upon that. Linux just doesn't concentrate on security as much as OpenBSD does.I'm sure another #OpenBSD developer can elucidate on this, but the first things that come to mind are: pledge, unveil, W^X, and more.

@0x00 @seven How many Linux web servers run under a chroot jail these days? I've seen none. (I'm a Sysadmin of 20+ years and I work with Linux daily)By default OpenBSD's web root is chroot'able and enabled as such. To me, that's a lot more secure. If you run services, put them in a compartmentalized box. That way, if some hacker does somehow get in, they only have a tiny sandbox to mess with, not an entire system.

@0x00 @seven Actually the pf firewall can stop that nonsense pretty effectively.

@0x00 @seven I'd rather run an OS that strives to be secure by default than one that needs a massive band-aid (Selinux) put on it to be secure.And yes, I used to be a massive Linux fan back in the day.

@0x00 @seven Of course nothing is a silver bullet. All you can do is secure it the best way you can. People find bugs all the time.Sorry but you're not going to get me to run CentOS anytime soon. Systemd, Libraries that are ancient, software that is more ancient. No thanks.

@0x00 @seven systemd has an extremely bad security record.

@0x00 @irl @seven I ran 100s of Ubuntu Linux boxes with upstart/sysv with Puppet for years before systemd came along.*shrug*

@0x00 @irl @seven If that were true, wouldn't we be seeing some of the BEST code written by Google, Facebook and Amazon developers?I remain unconvinced. Especially after hearing that the AWS code is mix of unmaintable Perl 4 code with Java and Ruby thrown in.

How in the heck do I tell relayd to redirect from http to https? Do I have to match some header to do it or does it have to be done in httpd.conf?I wonder why this isn't documented in the man page?#openbsd #relayd #httpd

Happy Sysadmin Appreciation Day!I'm a sysadmin of 20+ years and big shout outs to @phessler for keeping bsd.network ticking along, and the other fediverse instances that are doing good works here!Solidarity with those sysadmins in shit jobs! I feel your pain and have been there many times. ✊When the servers are running smoothly, no one notices anything until they go down!Take good care of your users and use your powers for good!

Can anyone recommend a "Fitbit" like device that allows you to be in control of your own data? (as in, it doesn't transmit your data to 3rd parties & lets you control where the data can go?)Boosts definitely appreciated
